Beloved celebrities seem to get a pass for being messed up addicts. How many people applauding Fisher's 'courage' in her struggle would feel the same about their wife's scuzzy uncle Terry who's always hammered at family functions, neglects his family, can't hold down a job, and says inappropriate things at Thanksgiving?
Self-destructive people are sad. But I don't feel any particular need to lionize them simply because they're popular entertainers. We do have free will, even if some people have a tougher time exercising it than others.
