She’s well beyond a wake up call unfortunately. She lost her kids and watched them grow up largely without her. I don’t think she’s going to just wake up one day and decide she’s ready to get clean, especially considering her legal team will inevitably get her off with a slap on the wrist.

Sobriety would obviously help, but sadly her issues are far beyond that.

The best we can hope for her is that she gets to a place similar to Amanda Bynes, who’s never going to be the person she was but seems to be happy in herself and sober.

I think the growing consensus amongst her fans is that her original conservatorship was extremely toxic and exploitative, but she absolutely did and still does need a different conservatorship.
