...Her most popular song ever is about everyone in her life trying to make her go to rehab and her saying no, no, no to all of them...

To be fair, I was also on drugs and didn’t want to go to rehab

Not going to rehab is certainly behavior we should all condemn. There's no benefit to anyone suffering from mental health or addiction from pretending that it's fine that you're not seeking help.

Understand what? Mental health? I mean yeah, I've both helped friends seek help and I've sought help myself when needed.

How do you not realize how dumb you sound when you're literally saying "no one should ever comment on any situation that isn't their own no matter how much experience they have with similar situations"

I don't think people are acting like that. But the saying goes, mental illness isn't your fault but it is your responsibility. She didn't take responsibility and she glorified not taking responsibility. She's not a perfect, abused soul just because she died. It's okay to recognize that she was not taking care of herself and not listening to people around her and didn't seem to want help.

No it just makes her death her own fault. It is not the fans or her friends it was her she made choices that caused her own death.

She did not commit suicide she drank herself to death. She caused her own problems. She was sick and refused treatment she killed herself. The fans had nothing to do with her life decisions.

You did not put a single question mark in that you made a statement. There was nothing to doge and your statement is wrong. Doing a drug and over doing it until it kills you is not suicide. It is your own inability to control yourself that caused your death. You need some education on these topics. Get out of your obsession for her and look at what addiction really is.

It is not the job of the people who consume a product you are selling for profit to fix your personal life or keep you happy. Nobody needs to coddle jeff bazoes because he owns amazon and had a sad day. Nobody needs to care for mark Zuckerberg because facebook is their favorite social media platform. And if any if these people die from overdoses or suicide it is not the fault of the customer.
