What sort of news do you expect to see? Anyone who knows anything about her already knows she had substance abuse problems considering she wrote multiple books about it. She also talked about it in her stand-up show, on talk shows and in interviews.

She was always brutally honest about the fact that she attempted to self-medicate her mental illness in unhealthy ways. Her substance abuse, her compulsive self destructive tendencies, and her dependencies on both illegal and prescription drugs are all detailed in her books. In her stand-up show, she talked at length about what went through in order to try and regain some semblance of safety and normalcy in her life.

She spent decades trying to "address the fucking epidemic in the country" because she suffered from it. Meanwhile there's you with this post, trying to feel superior but doing nothing more than showing everyone your ass. This post belies your complete ignorance. Educate yourself, or go fuck yourself; or, ideally, both.
