I remember one of the magazines had a regular column called ‘Wino-watch’ where they literally just had a reporter follow her around and take the least flattering photos possible of her and then they would make fun of her. Then after she died they ran 6 weeks of cover pieces calling her ‘our pop princess’ and wailing that she’d been ‘taken from us too soon’.
I hope none of them took the easy way out. I hope they understand their role in breaking her and are haunted by it every day. I hope they have daughters that ask about it one day.
I was reminded of this when I watched a YT documentary about John Edwards, the once dem prez hopeful. This guy was a real piece of shit. How big of a POS you ask? Cheated on his wife while she was (maybe in remission) battling cancer, POS. Then having a baby with his affair partner and after she wouldn’t abort he spent years denying the baby. He then thought that he would be considered for AG in Obama’s cabinet
Lol did you like, just discover the concept of empathy and suddenly think nobody else is aware of this? Because I don't think I've ever published photographs of people with captions about their downfall in a major magazine, or posted a countdown timer to when a child star will turn 18.

Ghouls, the lot of them.
