“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.

Saget himself was an Oscar winner, scoring a student Academy Award in 1977 for his black-and-white documentary “Through Adam’s Eyes.” Twitter was quick to point out the Academy’s glaring omission in its special segment to honor those who were lost in the past year. “Rioting because Bob Saget wasn’t in the In Memoriam portion of the #Oscars,” one fan pointed out. “No but seriously, why wasn’t Bob Saget in the memoriam?” added another. “Cancel the #oscars for not mentioning...

Much love to you all,” he wrote alongside a video of himself explaining his situation.
