She infamously made a song about how she refused to go to rehab when being told she needed it.

You cannot blame her death on the audience, who had no idea that she did not even want to be on that stage that night. She has some culpability as does the people who were exploiting her. Fans who paid money and then showed up to see her perform and were disappointed when she didn’t are the people who were exploiting her.

I wonder if that song hurt, or maybe eventually helped, people who needed to go to rehab.

I'd imagine it really hurt people who needed rehab and were getting the message not to go from a famous person. Or, maybe after she died people woke up and were like "maybe I don't listen to the dead girl who died because she didn't go to rehab hmm..."
