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

This explains more to me

Retired antique dealer Motes lives with his male partner Timothy Raasch and is a volunteer minister at his local church.

But nothing excuses Julia's behaviour re A Low Vera & some other spiteful things she's has done.

Danny Thomas!

The dead half sister killed herself because she couldn't live with the envy she felt over Julia's success. The fact that she dedicated 2/3 of her wall of text suicide note to bitching about Julia is evidence of this.
That's narcissism too, it's not always about feeling superior to others. Instead of realizing she had neither the looks nor the temperament for Hollywood, she should have looked for another career rather than constantly comparing herself to her Hollywood actress half sister.
I want to feel bad for her and I do, I mean the poor woman is dead, but I also feel like at that age, you should have moved past your envy and inadequacy.
envy is a powerful thing. I truly believe it's one of the worst (if not the worst) human emotions.

are we not over that yet? It's been what, 15 years and several kids? I bet even vera is over it by now.

How can we forget epic a-hole behavior like that? That kind of stooping is one for the ages. It also helps that even now Roberts can't confront/explain her behavior (like when Oprah asked about it)

I agree it was pretty insane and assholeish but again, 15 years ago. No one died. Let's move the fuck on. And if that's the worst public act of assholery she's ever committed, that doesn't exactly make her the monster people want to make her out to be. I don't particularly like Julia but I don't understand the extent of people's hatred of her.

Since when does anybody have to justify hatred of a celebrity here? That's practically the entrance fee for getting in. And it's not about getting over it, it's just a big WTF? in her past that is amusing.

Hey I hated Whorlia way before she ever A Lowed anyone and I ain't letting it go.

*cough*

I can't say I "hate" her, I just don't buy her BS PR.
She's got a long line of spiteful behaviour in her past, some of it not so "past". I don't need to gloss over than & say it was a one off, or a long time ago, or it was unimportant. Just my opinion ymmv.

**tulip** · April 22nd, 2014, 05:41 PM

She's spiteful, petty and full of herself. She just wraps it up in an "aw shucks" false modesty package.

**sluce** · April 22nd, 2014, 07:12 PM

I like her and the a low vera shirt didn't bother me at all. We have no idea what Vera was doing in the background. I know she moved on quickly too.

**CornFlakegrl** · April 22nd, 2014, 07:23 PM

I don't mind her unless she's gumming it up for a camera ... she grates. I'll bet she's a diva but then again, she's one of a few very big super stars so I have low expectations of decent human behavior.

But it's everyone's right to hate whomever they chose and the A Low Vera thing was epic so I doubt it will ever go away.

**Trixie** · April 22nd, 2014, 08:58 PM

I think A Low Vera moved on quickly because she was paid off quite nicely. I guess it could be worse, most aren't lucky enough to have their husbands leave them for a very rich selfish bitch who is willing to shell out big time to get him a really really quick divorce.

Oh, it won't go away. It really stands out for a celeb who was so petty and entitled that they couldn't keep their private war with a "civilian" private and had to go wearing a custom t-shirt for the paparazzi as a way of one-upping them.

The dad has some Native American blood IIRC. Eric has his features, but got his nose broken at some point. Can't remember if it was a fight or an accident.

**PeaPrincess** · April 23rd, 2014, 09:47 AM

Meh. I've done and said much meaner shit than that Vera bit. It just wasn't in the tabloids!!
i sometimes like her, sometimes don't, but the half sister sounds mentally exhausting to deal with.
