For those questioning her intellect, she had/has a lot of talent and it takes really hard work to perform every day in Vegas like she did I bet her parents or "handlers" medicate her to keep her going and to keep the gravy train alive.

She's probably a very nice, sweet girl who made every one else's life easier but her own. Her parents should be ashamed. Her story is no different than many other child star's who grew up to find those around them really didn't have their best interests at heart.

Thank you for writing this! I totally agree, she was used from a young age plus mental illness.

Lots of ignorance in this thread.

What happened to cause all of this? Is she actually crazy? What is the diagnosis? Was she always like this before? If so, why could she perform in the past, but can't now?

OP, worry more about people who do not take meds but should- than those who do take meds.
