Robin WIlliams
Here's an aspect of the story almost no one will explore. Everyone is talking about how tortured Robin Williams was.
Yes, Robin Williams was tortured primarily by wives and incredibly unfair divorce laws.
"Getting any deeper, however, remains typically out of the question for mainstream coverage. Journalists are noting that his relapse back into drinking helped lead to his second divorce. No one is questioning whether his second marriage helped lead to his relapse."
"What we do know is on the public record. Robin Williams was a talented and wildly successful artist who accumulated a fortune over the span of his career. After being drained of tens of millions in two divorces and getting married a third time he was faced with selling off his most valuable property and the prospect, at 63, of trying to make a comeback in standup, just to make ends meet."
"In a press conference Lt. Keith Boyd said that Williams’s wife, Susan Schneider, went to bed at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. According to Boyd, Williams ‘retired’ to another room in the house.
In the morning Schneider left, reportedly thinking Williams was still asleep. Later his assistant, worried about him, came to the house and found his body. That was at 11:45 a.m…
[...]
It is not, however, outside the realm of reason to wonder why an assistant would be concerned enough about Robin Williams’ well-being to enter his home searching for him 75 minutes after his wife left the same home without any concern."
"I have to wonder how Williams might have felt, already panicked after two financially devastating divorces, if there was a chance he was looking at a third. And I have to wonder why a man, known by everyone close to him to be in very rough emotional shape, might still be hanging there were it not for the concern of an employee. I’d like to know if Williams had the level of support available at home that could have prevented this."
"Still, what I see as I read in and between as many lines as possible in this tragic story, is a man crushed beneath the weight of keeping others in luxury; a man who faced spending his final days scraping and bowing and begging, doing anything and everything so that those who once found him useful would allow him another day of tending to their 'needs.'
Robin Williams was telling us this, in his own words. Pity no one was listening."
war on women.
Did the family courts kill Robin Williams, or was it just us?
