Casey Johnson Was Struggling For Years

So sad.

Casey Johnson's family has been concerned about her mental and physical state for quite some time now making her death not much of a surprise to those who were close to her.

Casey had been dealing with mental problems including being unable to sleep and ordering prescription meds on the Internet to help her sleep.

Oftentimes she would crash in the middle of the day sleeping up to 16 hours after being awake for days partying. Casey also dabbled in cocaine usage.

Casey would also wake up her 3-year-old daughter Ava-Monroe in the middle of the night to play before she was eventually taken away by Casey's mother.

The Johnson family was also very concerned about Casey's questionable relationship with Tila Tequila and their engagement.

Her family also wanted to take her to the best rehab facility in the country, but it seems that Casey didn't want the help despite her family's desperation.

Casey's funeral will be held later this week. Her family released the following statement:

"The Johnson family wishes to thank everyone who has expressed condolences and support during this trying time. Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated."

Our thoughts are with them.

    that foul famepig tila tequila should be packed up in a fed ex box, shipped off to afghanistan and dropped in the deepest, darkest hole they can find with the nastiest taliban assholes that can be found. she's a toxic human being that brings nothing but septic disaster with her everywhere she goes.

    her mental problems include lesbianism and drugs…not a good combo for stability

    The family has my deepest sympathies but it appears she was a messed up gal. Anyone who would get engaged to Tila Tequila has to be mentally ill.

    SAD

    Why the fuck do you keep writing about her.
    In life she was a fucking nobody that came from a rich family.
    She was a no talent, drug and alcohol addict who finally died due to her own careless lifestyle.



  8. 8

    she was mentally fucked up and used drugs? No shit, Sherlock.

    what a mess

    R.I.P



  10. 10

    Why is there so much coverage on this poor girl? I had never heard of her until she passed away. Sad.



  11. 11

    Although the story is sad - I want to know how in the world was someone that was so messed up able to adopt? Don't they do background checks? I thinks it's a sad sad thing that the agency approved her for a child. Funny gay couples have a difficult time adopting - yet a single rich white girl with numerous issues had no problem at all. Messed up world we live in.



  12. 12

    who?



  13. 13

    You know what her whole problem was? She never got off her ass and got a job. I`m sorry, but being a "socialite" is not a job. "Socialite" is nothing more than a polite term for someone who leeches off the hard work of other people usually because of someone elses money. Simply put, it`s a bums life. Paris Hilton, Casey and those ilk are bums. And what do bums do? They get wasted because they get bored and feel they have nothing better to do.

    pigz tell us about ur twotter fight with t -i l a tekila thats the most inneresting part about you right now.



  15. 15

    How was this crazy hot mess allowed to adopt a child?!?



  16. 16

    RIP! You are now home with the angels. God bless and prayers to her family and child.



  17. 17

    Being a lesbian is not a mental problem. To die so young is truly sad, and even if Perez has previously insulted her, I believe he's sincere that his thoughts are with her family.

    -
    this bitch again??? fuck her and her fucking rotting corpse, there is nothing sad about a spoiled, brainless trust fund baby who abused drugs and got what was coming to her
    -
    the greatest measure of a person is their peers - this bimbo can count Tila idiot and Lindsay idiot among hers, 'nuf said….

    who cares

    Re: buck

    This coming from a concervative mental defect. LOL.



  21. 21

    there you go again mario, kicking people when they are down



  22. 22

    WHY DID YOU PUT THIS IN 'DRUGS' MARIO??? Her autopsy results aren't out yet, and they actually point to a diabetic related collapse, or haven't u had a chance to scope the other gossip websites for your headlines? You are so pathetic! You hated her and treated her like shit, then when something happens you're all 'SO SAD' and 'RIP BB'. Guess you hunting for an invite to the funeral hey!!!



  23. 23

    fuck this dead bitch



  24. 24

    Re: buck – lesbianism is a mental problem? uh-oh, looks like someone is a bible thumping douchebag with an inability to think for themselves. if there is a God, He will give you a homosexual child!!

    I agree with the others who are dumbfounded as to how this women was allowed to adopt a child. I think the US really need to look into their adoption laws. This poor child :(



  26. 26

    Re: courtney-86 – we don't need to see the results. even if it was related to diabetes, you don't just go into diabetic comas. diabetics who are taking care of themselves check their blood sugars regularly, and are able to determine when a problem is arising, and do something about it. casey was a drug addict, and was not living a life conducive to managing her diabetes properly.



  27. 27

    I don't understand the "questionable relationship" with Tila Tequila. What does that mean? Okay, TT is a famewhore…just like Casey. TT is a pAArtier..just like Casey. TT acts crazy and brings trouble where she goes…just like Casey. Sounds like a perfect match to me. Why have we not seen or heard from TT since the night the story broke? Why was she not at N Hilton's memorial for Casey? Why have her friends/family not included TT in their "prayers"? Look, at the end of the day, Casey Johnson was her own worst enemy and brought this on herself. No wonder the girl was so effed up - TAKE NOTE LOHANS: BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR CHILD'S PROBLEMS IS CALLED ENABLING! P.S. She bought her baby from overseas and in some countries no one cares who adopts as longs as there's a big $$ payoff. Voila!



  28. 28

    Johnson's biggest mistake was begin associated with the whore Tia. That piece of low class human garbage would drive anyone to take drugs!



  29. 29

    Re: candyass
    "you don't just go into diabetic comas" Im guessing you have never heard of hypoglycemia unawarness which can even happen to people with good control of thier diabetes. Type 1 is very hard to control. I check my sugars regularly and have good 3 month averages but still can wake up in the middle of the night weak and nausious having to stumble to the kitchen to get something to eat. This is a serious disease. Not to mention that a lot of diabetics do have drug problems and are depressed because of this disease. Hopefully her death will raise awareness about how important it is to take care of yourself as a Type 1 diabetic.



  30. 30

    I truly believe she was taken because her life became unbearably painful…just look at her sweet angelic face, and I'm sure her personality matched. The sad thing is that no one was there to intervene….to step in and help her emotionally and spiritually to fill the emptiness in her life. Where were her "so-called" friends like Paris?
    ____
    Oh, and the Tila tequila involvement was the worst thing that could have happened to here! I'm so appalled at little Tila. >:o She seriously needs to seek therapy herself (she's clearly insane and seems to be drugged out 24/7). Why is she constantly on the little blue bird site posting weird remarks?? Especially so soon following Casey's death? So heartless!!! How could someone be THAT desperate for fame??? It's sickening! Tila is partly to blame for Casey's final fall from grace. This is all so sad :( May she finally RIP, sweet angel.



  31. 31

    Re: ||Jenna|| – you really shouldn't judge. Let's let casey RIP.



  32. 32

    Mental issues or not, she most definitely had one thing right: she absolutely hated your guts, Mario.



  33. 33

    Regardless of the circumstances surrounding her death, there is someone out there right now mourning a daughter, sister, niece, grandchild, mother. People feel free to write nasty things behind the safety of their computer screen, but this woman was a real person with obvious problems. Hopefully there is someone in her family who will be able to provide her precious daughter with a loving, stable and secure life.



  34. 34

    why was this woman allowed to adopt a child????



  35. 35

    Re: sarahforsale – actually fuckface I'm a registered nurse and I know if you take care of yourself, even if you are a brittle diabetic, you are aware of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and can recognize them in yourself before you just up and go into a fucking coma. this girl obviously didn't take care of herself nor did she live a life where she could properly control her sugars. you even said it yourself, you wake up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous, a symptom of your disease. people who cloud their judgement with substance abuse are unable to do what you do reported doing. i've taken care of numerous people over the years who have brain injuries due to substance abuse with the comorbidity of diabetes. hopefully her death will let diabetics know they esp cannot abuse drugs or alcohol, it is far more dangerous for them!

    You can't fault Perez for snarking on someone who later happens to die. What, is Perez supposed to write that everyone in Hollywood/NY is an angel, just in case they drop dead? No one would bother reading such a website.



  37. 37

    Re: prim&proper – wow, i'm such a hypocrite! Here I am saying "you really shouldn't judge"..then I judged Tila. opps, my bad. sorry. I'll just say–Tila needs to seek help and end it with that.



  38. 38

    The agency that placed a child with her should be brought up on charges.



  39. 39

    Mario, STFU! No one wants to hear your crazy shit that you stole from other sources and then you claim them as yours. I will not be surprised when the subpoena comes in for you commiting plagiarism. That is a big no, no even for someone that owns a tiny little site like yours that people are getting tired of reading all that shit that is either hours or days old by the time it hits your site. You just don' get it, no one likes you and no one will. All this crap that you are spewing out all over the place will come back to bite you in the ass someday.



  40. 40

    Everything is here say unless you were there seen it or heard it. There are so many people out there that want to be rich and famous and don't realize what this people have to go through their entire life. Just imagine your whole life is different; no going to the grocery store, Walmart or anywhere else to shop without paps following your every move. These poor souls are scrutinized every single day under a microscope, because someone is waiting for them to screw up so that they can get a story. Paps do this their entire lives; for God sakes leave these people and family alone when the need to have privacy and stop throwing stones. I think you have done enough harm with your little white pen marking the photos and the cruelty you show this people in their time of need. You are heartless… I hope it comes back on you 10 fold.



  41. 41

    Re: eyezwideopen – csey johnson didn't have people following her every move. the only pap shots of her are from parties wih red carpets that she chose to walk down. whatever happened to freedom of speech? don't all gossip writers get their information somewhere? and if you hate Perez so much, why did you waste so much time reading his blog, joining the Perez Posse and commenting? You just made him even more $, so he wins! And do you really think he personally these comments? Doubt it jackass.



  42. 42

    I'm sorry but she was a fukn spoilt junkie I mean she named the kid Ava Monroe like it was a fukn fashion item like she'd always be associated with Ava Gardiner and Marilyn Monroe so sad indeed

    Casey's not suffering where she is. It's the family and friends she's left behind that will suffer from her sudden and permanent absence. RIP.
