Unauthorized bio claims Marie Osmand attempted suicide as a child

Anyone remember the SNL skit of Donny and Marie? Marie was played by a young Julia Louis Dreyfus and Donny by....I forget. Anyway, they are singing together and end up making out for like 10 minutes. Its hilarious...

I have a friend who will believe that Victoria Principal killed Andy Gibb to the day he dies. Not intentionally, but that she was the root cause of his issues, therefore, she is to blame. He hates that bitch to this day.

LOL, I know people like that, too. As a matter of fact,
there are those who deem the Osmond clan responsible
for his cocaine habit (totally ignoring the fact that he
got addicted while touring when his first single soared
to #1 on the charts, and that by that time he hadn't
even met Marie yet). They claim Andy resorted to drugs
because the Osmond family forbade him to date Marie
because of their different religions (Mormon vs. Anglican
I believe).
Fact is that Andy was too sweet for the business and
probably too young to be so successful right from his
first internationally released single, as well. He'd been
in music since he was a teen, but it still blew him away
to be part of the world he'd seen from a distance when
his older brothers were world famous when still in their
late teens and early twenties. He could've learned
from their mistakes but then, everybody needs to learn
from their own, I guess.

Children can suffer from depression, and if it's severe depression, that is enough to make someone have thoughts of suicide. There doesn't necessarily have to be anything bad going on in the person's life.

The thing about abuse is it seems to be a catch-all these days. "Oh, I'll just say I was abused [even if I wasn't] and that will excuse everything." I hate that! The story implies a mental illness, so it's possible she did just make it up.

Lookie ... my first multi-quote!!!

Congrats on your first multi-quote!

After I made that post about her attempted suicide, I thought about the exact same thing you just mentioned. It's certainly possible that she suffered from severe depression, and it could've been compounded by the intense pressure her parents put on her to keep up the cheerful persona. I don't give a damn what anyone says, her parents were stageparents, and were probably tyrants just like most of the others.

If she lied about being abused, that is extremely low, and I hope karma comes back to get her.
