[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was given chance after chance after chance after chance. The real question is why the hell was she given so many? I was flabbergasted when Oprah decided to put her up in a multi million dollar apartment and fund a reality show for her + all kinds of support (counseling, life coach, etc.). She STILL f-ed it up.

She is an addict and there is nothing that can be done unless she decides to fix it. [/quote]

I think she was given so many chances because she had real talent when she was younger (Parent Trap, Mean Girls).  People saw that, and they also saw how awful her family was, and they felt bad for her.  It can't have been easy for her growing up the way she did.  It wasn't just Oprah, also Tina Fey, and other people.  I have a bit of a soft spot for her because I remember the sweet kid from Parent Trap.

But at some point, despite your terrible childhood, you have to grow up and decide to help yourself.  She never did.  It's really too bad.  [/quote]

Totally agree with you, but I almost think the Oprah thing enabled her. I watched that show, and it was painful. She had a 3 pm phone meeting with an agent who was trying to help her and she missed the call. She said sorry I overslept. Like....from the night before.

They had footage of her coming home at 7 am. You don't stay out all night unless you're on drugs. It was so obvious.

I agree she had talent and a lot of good will and people did take pity because her parents are so f-ed up. But damn. You can't save someone. They have to want to get help and stick with the program. [/quote]
