Guilty!

I mean, if it was what she really wanted, who am I to disagree...?
And if she was serious, she would have succeeded - she is just trying to become a victim AGAIN.
Personally, I think she is lying and just trying to be relevant.
Her body, her choice...
Next time triple the dosage.
L
She should sue some drug company for ineffective meds.
lives in hollywierd and can’t score some good fentanyl laced heroin... faker
Sure she did. Her then required trip to the ER would have been top tabloid news.
Notice me! Notice me!
You can’t do anything right, can you Kathy?
A about a 100? Won’t enough apparently, huh GriffonIdiot?
Better luck next time, Kathy!
I remember her.She spoke to a disturbed teenager online, and encouraged him to follow through on his posts about suicide. I think she walked out of the courtroom free but with some kind of probation.
