Never posted about DW before but popped over to IG after reading some of the comments on this thread.
I read her book years ago maybe about 18 yrs ago and I had a bit of respect for her. She went through a really tough time.
Fast forward to now and hearing her talk it makes me feel so incredibly sad. I know I know this is a site for gossip!
She is completely broken but this hope she has (getting fit getting better) I feel whilst is commendable is not going to fix her. (And herbal life is certainly not going to help!)
There is something there in her foundations that is broke. She tried to fix it with drugs and had been absolutely decimated by them. Physically they have ravaged her.
I had forgotten the time she spent in the US until someone mentioned it above.
I just think she hasn't ever fixed or addressed the root cause stuff and spent years just sticking plastering things...thats why she has never stayed clean.
She lives this 'champagne lifestyle' I'm being kind whilst sipping lemonade. She could be any one of those people we see on the streets begging.
God its sad. I do feel she won't ever be clean as its too far down the line for her. And her end will be drug related.
I worry about the contact she has with her daughter now. They were estranged I think for a long time.
I grew up with her, watching her in Eastenders, even bought that pink duffle coat from River Island she used to wear when dating with Ricky!!
But she is an addict, and the quick fixes are not going to change that.
God its very sad. Sorry keep saying that but I havent seen a picture of her for ages then watched a video just now. I cant believe it.
And dont get me wrong I absolutely feel for her family and friends who I suspect ove r the years have helped and propped her up and who she has treated appalingly to fuel her habit. No winners here.
