I knew about the Roger Clemens thing. Did not know she romantically associated herself with suicidal people, had a leaked sex tape, and a myriad of drug and legal troubles. Very very sad.

sounds like a hell of a lot of anger, and a messed up woman.

Anybody thinking it might have anything to do with post-partum depression? Didn't she have a 10-month old baby?

Was she just determined to self-destruct by inflicting the most pain possible?
