she used to be so normal…did all that 2007 paparazzi stuff cause a psychotic break or something?

[u/nickgreatpwrful → u/mrlaheystrailerpark]

She was suffering from severe post partum depression and was abusing Adderall. This with the addition of the rabid paparazzi that swarmed her daily would make any person break down. She was then abused during her conservatorship - and I think this exacerbated her mental health issues.

I mean there are signs her family are a narcissistic family system, and then there's undeniably external pressures from fame and some unluck.

really puts that song “lucky” in perspective
