April 29, 2013
For a six month period a few years back, this A list mostly movie actor who has come dangerously close to dropping to B list almost killed himself by his actions. The actor, foreign born and a big star all over the world found himself at a party where he met a C list celebrity. 90 minutes after meeting her, they were in bed together, and that included 45 minutes for traffic. Six months later he was a shell of the man he was before he began seeing her. With his dating of the celebrity, our actor spent night after night awake having sex with the celebrity. This led to drinking which is never good for this particular actor. This led to more serious substance issues to keep him awake during filming, when he showed up. The movie he was working on at the time had to change its schedule numerous times because the actor would not show up, or if he did would be hungover and exhausted and none of that includes the times he was too busy having sex with his celebrity on set to be bothered to come out until he was finished. He has said the sex was like nothing he ever had before. She did things he did not think were possible and would often show up with one or two women in tow to try and make it even crazier for him. A couple of times he suspected she was also with other guys despite all the time they were spending together. That, coupled with the fact his agent said people were talking about not giving him the role he wanted for his next movie because of his actions on the one he was working on, eventually caused him to dump her, but she had a surprise left up her sleeve which he would discover later.

Sadly I’m not surprised about SS but that is appalling. Yeah he was my first guess actually. Didn't we have another one recently about him? Am I confusing him with someone else?

Was the surprise their kid? Born in 2011 and the blind says a couple years back, that's my best guess. A baby is one way to attempt to keep a relationship together, but I don't think they're together, just co-parenting.

This actress used to be A list. Maybe even A+ list. An Academy Award winner/nominee. Everyone always thinks it was one thing that brought her down to B- list, but it really wasn't. Although she has talked about some things in her past, she has never discussed what really brought her down. About a decade ago now she was confronted by her past. She had forgotten part of her life and only when she went through therapy did it come out. As a pre-teen she had been molested by a close family friend. A neighbor who would watch her after school. She says that for almost an entire year, she was subject to his advances with no one there to protect her and he had her alone everyday after school for several hours. After she discovered her past, she was unable to work. She was unable to cope. Drugs, especially prescription ones became her life. She numbed herself for years and watched her star slowly fade. She had no interest in guys and when she would date, it was because her friends forced her too. She has not been with a guy in many years and says she can't stomach the idea of being with anyone after what she remembered. Her career is starting to resurrect itself and she has spent time in mental institutions over the years. She has slowly weaned herself off all drugs and says she is starting to actually feel alive again. Still nowhere in sight she says though is any relationship with any guy other than being friends.

Winona Ryder God, I can't imagine having those memories resurface. I'm glad she's gotten help and is clean and sober. Fuck anyone who tries to force her to date. Friendships, male and female, are important enough. No one absolutely needs to be in an intimate relationship.

This actress is A list. I would say until a few years ago she was A+ list. Mostly movies. Now, as she gets a little older, she might even be close to dropping down to the B's. It is not that she won't always be the top lead in whatever movie she stars in, because she will be. She is not a big fan of being a supporting actress, but maybe that is something she needs to look into. Our actress has kind of faded from the spotlight that she was basked in for years. Although she has been around a long time, her experience does not really reflect her age. She is not a big fan of discussing her personal life so she has been very good about hiding her growing substance abuse issues. Normally this would be quick blind perhaps, but with this actress any abuse is scary. First it was a glass of wine and then a bottle. Just once a week she said. Soon it was just once a week that she was not getting drunk. People who came into contact with her were shocked she was drinking and watching her get drunk before their eyes. They always thought she had stopped. Nope. Wine became pot because she told people that pot was not a real drug and it was about the same as wine, but with less calories. Of course since she usually ingested hers in brownies, I'm not sure about the calorie thing. This was not an overnight process. This was a years long process. Well, one day she was with some friends and buzzed on wine and pot and she did something she vowed she would never do and that was a line of coke. One became two which became staying up for three days straight doing coke like she never had before. She thought she could handle it. She couldn't. There was a very very silent trip to rehab and for 30 days she was gone. Since then, she has been less about work and more about life and as much as she would be celebrated for becoming sober again, she just won't talk about it.

I love Drew for all that she seems to have gone through and overcome. This makes me sad, but I hope she's sober for good. Her daughters are adorable and deserve a happy mother.

This actress was almost at the A+ level at one point in her career. She was a young actress in an ensemble cast of one of the most popular television shows of all time. The character she played was beloved by audiences and her acting was great. She is a multiple award winner/nominee. As I already wrote, the television show our actress starred in was one of the top rated shows at that time and was also critically acclaimed. The ensemble cast was a group of talented young actors and actresses, several of whom went on to become even more famous as their careers progressed.

The sad thing is that our actress, who I'll call Ms. D, has pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth. At the height of her fame, she inexplicably decided to walk out on the show. Not only did she walk out on the show, but she also forfeited what would have been an incredible amount of money in the process. Of course, there were diversionary tactics used to explain her departure from the show--the usual stuff about how she was difficult and demanding, and also that she was just downright crazy. None of this was true. What actually took place is that something very bad had happened to this actress at the hands of another cast member on the show. We'll call him Mr . A. Mr. A was almost as popular as Ms D. was at that time , but beneath his wholesome exterior he was hiding a very dark side. To be blunt, this dude was a sociopath. Anyway, the real reason Ms. D walked out was not only because of what she experienced, but also because others involved with the show chose to look the other way. In fact, the higher-ups around the show made it clear to cast members that the situation was to be hushed up so that there would be no bad publicity. Mr. A also gaslighted Ms. D., big time, in order to keep her quiet. He had everyone on the show conned. It was so bad that our actress began to suffer from serious health problems from the stress and those close to her were afraid she would end up hospitalized. So... she bolted from the show for her own health and sanity and pretty much faded into obscurity.
After her departure, the show continued on, as did the careers of Mr. A and the other cast members who had turned a blind eye to what happened. A few years passed and Mr. A became even more famous and wealthy thanks to his role on the show. His increased fame placed him in more elite social circles where he crossed paths with another actress. This actress, who I'll call Ms. T, is what I'd consider permanent A list. At the time she encountered Mr. A., she was not really acting very much, but still maintained her A-list status for other reasons. Anyway, Mr. A. crossed paths with Ms. T because of mutual friends and also because of a business matter they had in common. Unlike Ms. D, Ms. T had been around the block a few times and recognized the red flags with Mr. A's personality pretty quickly. She is no shrinking violet and was not about to put up with any crap from this guy. Ms. T saw the warning signs after our actor attempted to make a business situation as miserable as possible for her. She told him in no uncertain terms that he better back off-- and as is the case with these personality types, when Mr. A realized was onto him, he made sure to stay out of her way.

Although Ms. T's heydey as an actress was pretty much over at that point, our actress was (and is) very well liked in the industry. She has lots of loyal and powerful friends. And Ms. T made sure that ALL of them heard about her miserable experience with Mr A. Since our actress has never been known to say an unkind word about anyone, that made her story that much more credible. Her powerful friends that heard the story were even more disturbed by it because at the time she crossed paths with Mr. A, she was going through a very vulnerable time in her life. Mr. A honed in on that and attempted to exploit her. Luckily our actress saw through that and was able to avoid harm. Ms. T's friends were so disgusted by this story that they spread it around like the plague and before long, almost everyone in the business had heard it (and believed it).
Mr. A continued to work on this very famous show, but once the show ended, he suddenly found himself struggling to get more work. No one would give him the time of day. This is surprising given that a number of the actors from this show went on to further successes after the show was over- but he didn't. It was clear that people in the business were aware of our actor's issues and were avoiding hiring him. What is even better is that that none of those old castmates were willing to help Mr. A find new work either. They all felt guilty about the situation with Ms. D- and no longer wanted to be tainted by any association with him, especially since Ms. T's story was widely known at that point.

What makes this all so interesting is that Ms. D and Ms. T recently met one another for the first time. They were introduced by a mutual friend who was aware of both of their stories. Since Ms D was really not in contact with many people in the business anymore, she was had not heard Ms. T's story when it was circulating around. The two women have since become very close friends and consider themselves part of each other's families. This is a very unlikely friendship but they have totally bonded over their mutual loathing of Mr. A. What is even more intriguing is that Ms T is urging Ms D to write a book about what happened to her. Ms. T has even offered to pony up the cash for Ms. A to hire lawyers in case there are legal problems with the book. It will be interesting to see if the tell-all gets written. If so, I would imagine there will be quite a few in the Industry who will be very nervous about the prospect of being called out for not intervening in Ms. D's situation with Mr. A.
