Thank you for sharing.

There are so many actors, comedians out there that were on top of their game years ago - wonder where they are now. So many struggles for Brett. Wish her the best.

For some, the pressure of being in the limelight can overwhelm them causing them to do unthinkable things. Others too misspend their fortunes. Using BB's example in the aforementioned story, she was making $250,000 per episode. Some actors in such a situation treat and spend that income like it's going to be an ongoing, lifelong income stream. Then, when the show reaches its end and that income source dries up, they have a hard time adjusting to their new "salaries" being used to live on the income they had while shooting the hit show.
