You DO NOT get to fuck up the lives of other people and then enter "rehab" (which is often nothing more than a posh spa) and have the slate wiped clean. You DO NOT get to blame your actions on alcohol or drugs or whatever else, then portray YOURSELF as a "victim", and therefore, really, blameless.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS, STOP LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BLAME SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE, ELSE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
Celebrities think this is all they ever have to do to atone for their transgressions. REAL people have to make REAL amends, pay REAL consequences.
We need to stop giving these people a pass.
