Chasing the Dragon

peekaboo · September 14th, 2006, 11:00 PM

This black female celebrity has a drug history that she has briefly spoken about but she seemed to conquer her demons because she worked in a few back to back projects. Sadly, she is back on drugs, this time, it's heroin. She and her boyfriend, who was also famous briefly (and who is a part of a musical family) are crack house regulars. He smokes crack, while she shoots up. She got introduced to heroin through her boyfriend's brother (also well known and famous) who also shoots up.

Instead of going to auditions, her whole day is spent, getting enough money together by begging, borrowing or stealing to cop heroin and crack.

A great opportunity came her way but she showed up under the influence of heroin and vicadin. She was so high, she was nodding off as chills raked her body and track marks covered her left arm. She was asked to leave and not to return. This gig would have paid her six figures a month.

This once attractive woman was arrested (a few months ago) with her boyfriend briefly when a crack house was raided but she was released shortly afterwards. It was a bit more complicated for the boyfriend because it may have been a violation. This didn't make the news because white cops were the arresting officers and the couple were unrecognizable due to drug use and they "aren't big name stars" outside the black community.

Don't be surprised if this woman starts turning tricks for drug money because she is seriously "chasing the dragon."

What? Are you crazy? Almost everyone knows who Whitney Houston is, she was huge in the 80's in popland.

Doesn't say shes an actress, just a celebrity. And is dating a man from a musical family (one of the Jacksons?) and are hooked...

No clue.

I'm going to go with Loretta Devine, she is married to Glenn Marshall and has been doing a lot of both TV and film the last couple years.

Lark Voorhies, Lisa Nicole Carson? Musical group? No idea.

LynnieD · September 15th, 2006, 03:57 PM

Oooo Lisa Nicole Carson is a good guess alcohol! Forgot about her.

buttmunch · September 15th, 2006, 04:07 PM

Ditto on the Lisa Nicole Carson. Remember the situation with her on Ally McBeal? A shame if it's her, she's pretty sassy.

Goapele or Macy Gray came to mind but I don't know who they are dating..

That line makes it sound like an actress, rather than a singer. I haven't a clue though.

Someone else on another board said Nona Gaye (who is dating one of the DeBarge dudes). Not a bad guess, but don't think of her as an actress..

Lisa Nicole Carson is an interesting guess. Her dad taught one of my journalism classes at college in Florida. Nice guy. Feel badly for him if this is her.

Nona Gaye could be a good guess.

Nona is a good guess. Another board said Lauryn Hill--she is with Rohan Marley(reggae singer Bob Marley's son)

LynnieD · September 18th, 2006, 01:28 PM

Ooooo Lauryn Hill!! She actually is an actress too, she started off on 'As The World Turns', and has done some other work as well. Yet, at the same time, I have a hard time seeing her as a strung out maniac--she actually seems really into her kids and stuff. But, who knows.
