it's a little naive to think this is 100% unbiased and she's an angel. Her kids don't like her at all and that tells you a lot..and it's not from them being poisoned against her.

She left out a lot of her disjointed Twitter rants and threats of suicide from odd locations and hotels. It did freak her fans out and it was difficult to contain her so that she didn't harm herself. She has never been grateful for help because she is truly broken.

only halfway through this book but I must say this You are not supposed to blame anyone for another person's suicide...but this lady turned off her phone on the anniversary of her husbands most tragic life event...her husband who lost his dad, mom and brother in this conflict....and had already attempted self harm. And by the way, she admits to having a hand in riling up those conflicts instead of trying to help her husband see the mom and brother as human beings also n a bad situation... No, this is a very bad lady. Yuck. Sorry not sorry, but the worst thing that happened to Mark wasn't what his father did but it was marrying that woman. She is so gross. Was she not advised at how bad this book makes her look?!

There are probably tons of reasons why women don't do stand up comedy. I get told constantly how I should do stand up but the idea of the logistics of a stand up career...I'm exhausted just thinking about. it's probably different for everyone but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of women who think that the safety of going from club to club is a barrier.

I'd tell the coworker from the show to go eff herself. The co-workers were the selfish ones Not wanting to be on a show where you were stressed out and miserable is normal. it was obvious that they didn't care about how miserable she was, so why should she care about whether or not they are employed or not? They only got another season because of her rising star. I completely would have moved on without giving it a second thought.

Having an accent in another language means you speak TWO LANGUAGES, which is one language more than most other Americans. 🤷‍♀️ I honestly think people point it out due to jealousy.

I think the whole apology chapter was actually very self aware. To admit you say sorry when it doesn't really matter, but that you fail to say it when it does matter...and then realize you can go back and apologize for the things that really do matter because an apology has no expiration date if you're truly sorry...that was very self aware and these ladies missed it.

Geena Davis's third husband was always extremely jealous... and he got his assistant pregnant. when your significant other is always worried that you're cheating often it's because they have been cheating and they are projecting.

Botox is actually an effective abd real off-label and PERFECTLY SAFE treatment for hyperhidrosis. It makes me question how much research that judge actually did in making a decision that she was an unfit mother for seeking this treatment that is now by the way regularly used on the forehead, armpits and feet.
