that's kind of a douchie comment. Especially since googling is easier than taking the time to ask here. She has also been all over the news.
Look, this back and forth takes more time than googling. And googling takes more time than the ini Googling is not easier than my question. Also, this back and forth is more time and trouble than anything. I'd also like to point out that I didn't make the assertion in the first place and was simply seeking the clarification that comes with the making of any assertion. So, not 'douchie' at all, as you put it. 'Douchie' is your assertion that my seeking of clarification was 'douchie'. Lastly, I don't find it worth my time to read about every person that makes the popular news that I might also find galactically uninteresting.
Used to enjoy watching his travels which he seemed to truly enjoy, but he got swept up and exploited by the whole irrational hate/juvenile reaction of the anti-Trumpers and he became an angry, depressing bummer. In a way, he was murdered by George Soros.
George Soros killed Bourdain? I nominate George Soros for one of Trump's so freely given pardons. Also, I never knew Bourdain had any politics in him. All I knew was that he ate some mighty strange food.
I often wonder when mental health will be taken seriously in this country. It still seems as a joke to a lot of people or a lot of people misunderstand it and all sorts of mental illnesses. It’s why I always hated when a shooting happens the first thing people do is blame guns. The last few days we have had two very successful people kill themselves. Vets kill themselves all the time, etc. bourdain, his story, and show were amazing. Dude had a way of words and narration. Didn’t see it coming. That’s the case with a lot of mental illness though. Nobody cares and nobody sees it coming and when something happens from mental illness, people deflect and often don’t talk about it. There needs to be an actual conversation about it taken seriously
You don't need to wonder Cippy….people do take mental illness seriously, especially those close to the mentally ill. I counseled PTSD war vets before I got out of the military….I've had friends die throughout my life from addictions and depression. None were famous so people didn't take much notice outside of those who were close to them...many were addicted to heroin as a response to chronic depression. As to Bourdain, Heath Ledger, David Carradine, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Willliams etc....all were junkies at some point or alcoholics and in the end commited suicide. Fame and wealth had little to do with it. People do address it when famous people do the death dance but fact is, people most don't know do this all the time. I have less grief for those who have ways and means to get into rehab than those who fall between the cracks such as the homeless. Heroin is a drug of pure apathy. Bourdain was addicted to heroin and cocaine most of his adult life. He also spent most of his time outside of this country so it's not like he hung himself in New York.....he was in France...Bourdain drank heavily...alcohol is an enabler for depression. Unfortunately freedom of choice also includes freedom to end your life if you so choose.
Well then clearly you don't understand it though you claim you do. Just because Bordain got wealthy and had his own show and lived a good life and had past issues with drugs doesn't make him any different from anybody else with mental health problems.
Depression is depression...as I said...alchohol is the great enabler as well...in his case that could've been the trigger...I know a bit about mental disorders, bipolar disorders, PTSD, etc....disrespecting that isn't really necessary or useful to the issue...people of wealth do have ways and means to address their own mental illness was my point...average Joe out there might not. Bourdain checked out...I liked the guy's show..sad for him and his. There's no gloating about his status involved. There are patterns in suicidal behavior though.
We don't really know what kind of life he was living in the end....I sure didn't know about Robin Williams brain disease until after the fact
Could of been but either way he was still suffering with mental issues. I mean you really gotta be somewhere mentally low to just kill yourself at 61 while you are filming for your show. Who knows. Obviously depression is something he had, who knows what else. Some mental illnesses aren't very clear. Same thing with somebody like Robin Williams. Robin suffered from depression his whole life. Sometimes treatments don't work. It's very hard to find professionals who understand these disorders. Generally you are offered an anti depressant and that's it, it's basically good luck from there. I just don't think America as a whole is doing enough to care about the issue. Some people get it. Most don't unfortunately. I have heard so many people refer to homeless people as crazy when that's not really the case. A lot of them suffer from serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, etc. Drugs they take only make it worse. It enhances this type of disorder and increases things like hallucinations, voices, etc. It's sad really.
David Carradine did not commit suicide. Philip Seymour Hoffman did not commit suicide. Heath Ledger did not commit suicide.
They didn't? I can't recall where I learned about their alleged suicides so I guess it's possible they didn't but I sure seem to think I learned it someplace.
sure.....not what I read....one hung himself in Thailand ...the other two overdosed on drugs...more than even they could handle...not sure where you get all this stuff but hey.....maybe some deep state conspiracy I'm not aware of?
His girlfriend, who he was crazy about, was cheating on him with a much younger guy. Photos came out, and Bourdain was never heard from again. I was a huge fan of his and followed him on social media and he didn’t post anything from the day those pictures came out to the day he died. I’m not saying that was the reason, but there’s no way it didn’t trigger it, especially since he already wasn’t the most mentally stable person. And it would have been at least the second time he got fucked over. His ex wife cheated on him with one of her MMA buddies. He probably had a moment of weakness and said fuck it, see ya.
His GF was also a #MeToo Weinstein accuser. She's the one who said Harvey Weinstein gave her oral sex without her permission, then continued to date him for several years afterwards. She's pretty much bat shit crazy. She french kissed a dog on camera for a movie where she was practically naked too.
She also posted a picture of herself a few hours before Bourdain was found dead in a Sex Pistols shirt with the caption “fuck everyone, you know who you are.” She deleted it as soon as the news broke. It’s interesting because Bourdain was known on the culinary circuit as Sid Vicious. Bourdains best friend, the guy who found him, also mentioned that he was in a bad mood the last couple of days. My guess? Photos get published. Bourdain finds out. Calls her out on it. She says fuck you. He’s devastated, gets fucked up, and finally acts on an impulse he’s openly talked about in the past (mentioned he routinely thought of suicide back in the day.) Just sad. He was great, and maybe the only “celebrity” I genuinely admired.
Sounds like they got in a huge fight. French police mentioned that they thought the suicide was on "impulse", something I hear is more common nowadays. A traumatic event occurs, a panic attack sets in and someone not thinking right kills themself as a rash decision. I met Bourdain back in 2004 at a book signing for his Les Halles cookbook. I really wanted to eat there, as I was a huge nerd for his series "A Cook's Tour", watched it over and over again on TiVo....my first expose to travel shows. I was in the middle of going through the A Cook's Tour audiobook and found out one afternoon he was doing an appearance at a book store in Orange County. I went there, they passed around some soup he cooked and he gave a short talk, got a pic with him and everything. He was just such a real guy, but I think he's had bad luck with women throughout his life.
