I watched the E movie the other night and I believe it was DB who quoted something Freddie had said to him once.
"Friends come with the ratings,when the ratings are good you hear from everyone and when the ratings slip no one call."
Isn't that a sad statement? What does that say about hollywood? I wold say that when things were going poorly that was the time you need your friends.
No wonder poor Freddie was always worried about ratings and what the public would think if he would have sought treatment for his deamons.
After hearing that comment I have to wholeheartedly DISAGREE with James Komack that Hollywood wasn't to blame.
Maybe not directly, and maybe not totally but with that kind of moral support it sure didn't help him any.

You're so right. All of us on here would've been his real friends. Cuz we all would've stuck to him thru thick & thin. So sad. I was watching a CATM episode earlier with my hubby (Todays one) & realized poor thing he didn't know anyone cared. Oh how sad. Cried... So sad... I used to think oh these episodes don't get to me & just noticed the funny stuff on there. But knowing what I know now, it's starting to get to me...
