Julia Roberts' Half-Sister Passes Away in Apparent Drug Overdose

[Mel1973]

jesus, the oscars this year is really bringing dirty family fucking secrets out... next year, people are going to be saying "fuck it, I don't WANT a nomination. I gotdamn sure don't want to win!" Cate Blanchett and meryl Streep are really getting the screws put to 'em, eh?

[Trixie]

^ And just think what it would be like if a Roman Polanski movie was nominated...

Her sister sounds like a typical addict - blaming everyone else and refusing to accept blame for their own situation. I underdstand why the family cut her off if she refused the treatment that was offered. Sounds like she had surrounded herself with enablers who were hoping to get a free ride from her families fame too. And the more they talk the more other celebs are likely to vote for Julia since they probably have people in their own families who behave this way.

This sounds like a really ham-fisted extortion attempt.

They're making money already by selling these "stories."

What bullshit. No matter what, no doubt this girl's mother loved her and is grieving. Now these losers come out of the woodwork to make a quick buck scoffing at this woman's pain. STFU trash.

Julia may be a total bitch but I can see why she cut this chick and her crew off.

[MohandasKGanja]

It is a VERY low Vera who would publicly humiliate someone like this!

[Kittylady]

I don't particularly follow Julia Roberts so I don't know how true it is but some people have been mentioning in comments sections that it was Julia who used her influence to get Nancy the job she had on Glee. Add that to the family's repeated attempts to get her into rehab and it doesn't sound to me that they cut Nancy loose until it became a necessary last resort.

As for all the rest of the "first hand" information that this so-called-friend is trying to sell, all I can say is that Julia may be a dyed in the wool cunt but Nancy was someone with a roller coaster of issues and an addict, and if there's one things addicts do with as much skill as sniffing out a score then it's lying.

EXCLUSIVE: Julia Roberts' half-sister 'planned suicide to harm actress' Oscar chances and career,' claims her fiance's brother

Well, the jokes on you Nancy, Julia didn't have a shot this year.

[MmeVertigina]

I feel sympathy for Nancy, but sheesh...there comes a time where you walk away from people who are hurting you and who are not beneficial in your life. I can see my husband's brother pulling this same type of shit, his unhappiness and addiction are always someone else's fault. Unless there was some pretty brutal abuse involved that came from Julia, leaving that note was just a lame attempt at a final "fuck you". Sad all around.

[gas_chick]

Hope this woman has found some peace in death.

[sputnik]

8 page suicide note? Talk about tl;dr
I know it's not nice to speak ill of the dead but based on that and her godawful, attention-whoring, victim complex tweets, the sister sounds like she was fucking obnoxious.

[KrisNine]

boy, that's fucked up... who goes to someone else's house to pet sit for a friend and climbs in their tub and kills themself? jebus, i'm guessing with her luck with her relatives, she may not have been found at her own home for days/weeks?

That's just some pure shit right there. Going to a friends house, where you were trusted to take care of their pet, and killing yourself. Those poor people have to live in that house after this. Do it outside, on a trail or behind a building. Not in a friends house.

WTH, while pet sitting? How's the pet?

I'm hoping the poor pet is OK.

So does Eric get none of the blame?

Hasn't Julia exiled Eric from the family? Long ago?

That's what I was thinking. This is coming from personal experience. I had a close family member commit suicide. They were an addict and had worn out their welcome with everyone in my family. They felt that everyone had cut them off, but really, my family couldn't continue to sit by and support all of the decisions they were making and continue to fund that lifestyle. It's sad and it destroys families, but you can't really blame the family.

However, Julia does seem like an unpleasant bitch.

As much as I hate Julia, this isn't her fault.

If Julia was a bitch to Nancy then the best revenge IMO would have been becoming successful in her own right. That kind of childhood bullshit would have motivated me to become the best in my field. So fucking what if you're not skinny enough to be a leading lady, oscar-winning-best-actress and americas (grossly overrated) sweetheart?

Maybe you could become a kick ass writer, director or producer? A kick ass comedic or character actress (hello? Melissa McCarthy?? She's fuckloads more talented than her bimbo cuz Jennay). Nancy could have turned that shit around and done anything with her life. Too late for that now. You've just cemented your loser status for eternity. To Julia-fucking-Roberts, of all people. Too bad she's dead, because I personally want to smack the shit out of Nancy.

[Trixie]

Funny how there were two other half-siblings and she didn't focus on them, did she? No love lost for Julia here either, but hey, just because your sister won the lottery doesn't mean she's responsible for your happiness. And I bet Julia had done many things for her over the years, if not for her sake, then to spare the mother they shared. Some people can't be helped no matter what you try to do.

Agree with this. Nancy could have become a wonderful school teacher or nurse or any other kind of professional person that society depends on, any of which would have made her 'better' than Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts ain't saving any babies by stroking her ego on a film set in Hollywood. Nancy was just too lazy to 'compete' with her sister, and since 'competing' with her sister was apparently so important to her, her 'failure' is her own. Face the failure or do something about it, don't go hurting people who love you just because you're peevish and lazy.

Having said all that, if Nancy had actual, factual, verifiable dirt on Julia and not just the ramblings of a jealous drug addict I want to know what it is.

Good grief, this 37 year old sounded like a helpless child. Yay, found my wedding dress! Boo, my sister hates me! Hiss, I have no family to comfort me, only my fiance .... What a nightmare.
