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.

Its one of the few genuine windows we get into someone's life thats more or less unfiltered.
Most people would likely be proud of 'Scuzzy Uncle Terry' if he managed to clean up his act and turn his life around.
Which Fisher did. For a time.
