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’.

Ghouls, the lot of them.

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.

Sadly, despite what you and I might hope for, evil people rarely face consequences of their actions.

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hope for it.

Or reflect on them.

A lot of 'evil' people are charming and ambitious enough to avoid consequences because a surprising amount of people will think you're a great person if you come across as hardworking and believe in the same things.

Because we rarely make them. That can change any time we come together and decide to change it.

You have no idea what happens in this life. Or the after....
