A registered nurse and a legal team enabled Jackson and Chris Brown. One died, perhaps so that others may learn.
Enablers of the month:
Nutritionist and registered nurse Cherilyn Lee, 56, who said, despite Michael Jackson’s repeated demands for the heavyweight drug Diprivan, which is given intravenously for anesthesia, “He wasn’t looking to get high or feel good and sedated from drugs. This was a person who was not on drugs.” Believing his addict-talk, she quoted Jackson: “I don’t like drugs. I don’t want any drugs.” She explained that he “just wanted more energy.” Lee spoke out in an effort to “protect” Jackson’s reputation from what she considers unfounded allegations of drug “abuse.” Unfortunately, Ms. Lee, given Jackson’s extraordinarily bizarre behaviors, his reputation would suffer if he had not been a poly-drug addict. The fact that you have overlooked the enormous weight of evidence for his drug addiction qualifies you as one of the great enablers of all time.
R & B singer Chris Brown’s legal team who advised him to let his assault case against former girlfriend, pop star Rihanna, 21, work its way through the system. His lawyer admitted that the performer for months had wanted to “take responsibility” for the altercation and tell the public that domestic violence is “not acceptable.” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg ordered a 10-yard buffer between the two at parties and public events, while sentencing him to a yearlong domestic violence prevention class and 1,400 hours of “community labor.” That should teach the sober Brown, 20, to never hit anyone. The issue of what is done about the monster he apparently becomes when drinking was not addressed, for example, by ordering him into a program that might encourage him to stay off the hooch that likely causes his personality to change from a very likeable and rational Mr. Hyde to a rather monstrous Dr. Jekyll.
