Default Was Gary Coleman's outburst on The Insider the Final Curtain?

Does anyone feel or think that the outburst that Gary had on The Insider the straw that broke the camel's back when he got mad and walked off the show?

He was said to have had a seizure backstage on the set.

He was mad enough to hit on of the girls, but he didn't. I think though, that they peppered him into the heated argument because they knew or have heard that Gary has a short fuse!!

His private (marital) life was questioned as well as his finances and health issues. I think that if he hadn't have gotten so outraged that he might have still been with us today!!

The Insider is a tabloid show. That's how they operate. They want controversy. They provoked him into exploding. I don't know if that was the final straw. It's sad but I always thought something bad was going to happen to Gary. He was always so angry. It's just too bad that he couldn't make peace with his past. I know it's hard to do sometimes.

Yeah, they're just drama queens.

They knew just what strings to pull and what buttons to push to entice Gary into blowing a fuse with them!! Being that Gary was very straight-forwarded and outspoken, they use that against him in a way, and he was never the type that would take any crap from people.

I knew that he was epileptic, but I thought that he could keep it controlled with medicine. One too many maybe.

It was also said that he had stopped taking his meds and that his health had taken a turn for the worst.

So sad!!
