I think that the severe drug use was related to the Trimspa contract, and the fact that she HAD to have the weight off to get paid.

I've been looking at the interviews the Trimspa guy has done throughout this, and it's painfully obvious. And I think that it was HKS's "job" to make sure that she stayed thin. IMHO, the only way she could do it, was a pretty potent cocktail of drugs.....and they had the docs to prescribe it.

That Trimspa guy is very annoying...

She claimed to have a herniated disc in her back in 1999, when she was first making some of her bankruptcy court appearances, so she hobbled instead of walking.

I also heard that some of her back problems were from the weight of the gigantic bazoombas. I'm certain this was part of the "pill problem." Or, vice versa.
