“I got along with everyone,” Curtin told People in a new interview.
“But I did have problems with John,” the funny woman added. “But that was because John wasn’t John. He was an addict.”
Belushi’s drug problem plagued his short life and career and he died via an overdose from a speedball mix of heroin and cocaine. Original “SNL” cast member Chevy Chase revealed last year that the “Blues Brothers” star’s addiction was so severe that he stole Chase’s own stash of cocaine.

“So severe he stole Chase’s stash of cocaine...”

Apparently not just a jackass, but a druggie jackass.

I can see in a lot of Belushi’s movies he looks like he just did a ton of cocaine. Blotchy, wet nose, sound like he was stuffed up, it looks obvious now.

It was the 70s, everybody in Hollywood was doing tons of cocaine.

Some people if I see on TV I will automatically change the channel. Chase and Jim Carrey make me physically ill when I see their evil personas.

What a cutting interview. About 30 words from Jane Curtin about John Belushi.
If John was ripping off someone’s stash, I’m glad it was Chevy’s.
As for the rest of it - this isn’t news. Belushi lived and he died. We all know the lifestyle he lived and how he died. No one was going to prevent it, and if Jane was so concerned about him she’d have more than 30 words to say about him.
