and I do believe partner abuse is a serious issue --
but when we are talking about celebs like this,
we are talking COKE PYSCHOSIS.
Everyone whose partner does coke needs to know that sooner or later they have one of these paranoid episodes where they lash out at the nearest and dearest who are the closest targets. I know more than one woman beaten into hospital by a boyfriend under these circumstances.
Whitney Houston took back the guy who beat an already unconscious man into a bloody pulp.
I was once in a public service job in Chicago, at a very busy interesction in Lincoln Park, and I can tell you I witnessed not just one or two instances of this.
