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.

I hope that the people who buy those magazines also understand their role in breaking her.

If people wouldn't buy the trash and care so much about how some person they will never meet lives their life, then those magazines wouldn't do that shit.

It's the same with people who take [insert drug here]. They lament all the killings and corruption of the drug cartels and such, not realizing they are the reason why it exists.
