During the emotional ep, she opened up about seeing the I Want Candy singer struggle for YEARS — and while trying to help him through it, also preparing herself for the worst case scenario.

That’s so heartbreaking. Grieving the life of someone who was still alive at the time… Ugh. She continued:
She added that between Leslie’s death and later their dad’s, Aaron’s addiction unfortunately just “grew and grew and got worse.”

So sad. Sending all the love and kindness in the world…

Michael Jackson reportedly died with over $500million (£395million) worth of debt, court filings have revealed.In a document filed on June 21 by executors of his estate, The King of Pop – who died in June 2009 from a heart attack – was apparently dealing with a staggering $500million in “debt and creditors’ claims, with some of the debt accruing interest at extremely high interest rates, and some debt in default”.Filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the document showed that Jackson had more than 65 claims made against him by creditors, which sparked further litigation. Executors wrote in the filing that they did settle these claims or had otherwise resolved them.Along with creditors, Jackson’s untimely death also left his estate liable financially – he reportedly owed $40million to promoter AEG for his ‘This Is It’ residency.
