I feel bad for any human being that struggles. 

If by telling her story that maybe helps another person, all the better.

ITA.

Testimony is important for recovery.

So bitter to say 'who cares' then proceeds to start a thread.

People are weird.

Congratulations on your 6yr success🌼💛

Wow, what a bitter thread.

Maybe it's very cathartic for her to talk about it and for others that may have experienced it, to not feel so alone.

Unbelievable that people would take offense or think there was an ulterior motive for speaking out about s e x ual abuse as a young child.

SMDH............

When I hear this stuff that doesn't particularly interest me, I tell myself that some of these revelations might help others seek help who are going through the same problem, whether it be drugs, alcohol, abuse or anything else.

I have no interest in her career, but I feel for anyone who struggles with addiction and past abuses.  Perhaps part of her recovery is a desire to help others who have also had similar struggles.  Perhaps it was just cathartic to write it all out.  Perhaps she wanted to see if she could make some money.  Maybe all three.  I can only guess.

I won't purchase her book, but don't fault her for writing it.  Hope she can lay all the demons to rest.

@BrandiDavis  Congratulations on 6 years.

She won't get any shade from me. I can't even imagine. 
Some people get such joy from skewering people on here which says more about them then the person they're disparaging.

@BrandiDavis : Congratulations. Getting and staying clean and sober can be such a tough road.

i was on the phone when the story came on so didn't really focus on it but got the idea. Maybe, as people who are struggling and think they are alone and will never get better, hear what someone who is "successful" has gone through might help them in their battle.

Good for her.  If she inspires someone in a similar situation, all the better.  It also moves her into a different stage in her recovery.  I think putting it out there takes away the denial.

Who cares???

Her revelations don't make me like her more...or less. 

Why do celebs think we need to know every sad detail?  Trying to showthey are like us?

Fail.

If you don't care, why start a thread on it?   Good for her getting control of her life.  What's not to like about that?
