He dumped his wife and abandoned his child to be with this woman 18 years younger than him, and he used drugs his entire adult life, long before he met her. No, I would not describe her as a predator.
- bink 11mo agoWhat's the source on the claim that he used drugs his entire adult life? I thought he had been sober from heroin for decades and only drank alcohol. Additionally, I'm not sure doing drugs alone qualifies one as a bad person.
- randycupertino 11mo agoIn the book I read about it, people interviewed claimed she would use in front of him and supply him, intentionally sabotaging his sobriety because it kept him more easily manipulated.
- EnPissant 11mo agoOh, he chose to dump his wife and get into a relationship with a drug addict?
- cromka 11mo agoDo you know for sure he knew she was a drug addict?
- EnPissant 11mo agoThe parent comment described her as a drug addict?
- coldtea 11mo agoAs per the comment about the book above, "she would use in front of him". In any case, using drugs is something people do. Whether famous or not. Famous people, in fast paced professions, dealing with fame, use them 10x more. People also cheat or end relationships and go with another person, often younger. Not even in small numbers, even above 50% of marriages end like that. Passion fades, another person might reignite the joy of love. It is what is is. Nothing especially bad as far as things people do is concerned, except if one thinks like some kind of prude.

- EnPissant 11mo agoI was replying to this in the parent comment: > supplying him with drugs They are blaming this woman for Anthony's drug use and I am just pointing out that he has always been an addict.
- slowhadoken 11mo agoShe was clearly enabling him and playing him, that’s predatory. A similar thing happened between Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. The friendship between Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen was very suspicious too.
- coldtea 11mo agoAny further misogynist finger pointing?
- slowhadoken 11mo agoThat's a morbid and sexist thing to say.
- coldtea 11mo ago'Ditto' ("you-the-sexist") is hardly a counter-argument.
- slowhadoken 11mo agoNo, it’s sexist to read about men being abused by manipulative women and assume misogyny. It stinks of a bias that favors women so intensely that it treats dead men as simply some kind of social breakage. That’s sad.
- ericmay 11mo agoFrom what I understand he wasn’t actively doing hard drugs, but had earlier in his life. Maybe that’s not correct. I’m not sure. But if he was addicted and she or anyone else was further encouraging or indulging his addiction, well, that’s abusive by any definition I hold. I’m not sure about his personal relationships, and don’t care much besides leaving an internet comment, but why are you so quick to dismiss that he may have experienced being manipulated or taken advantage of?
