Several celebrities and friends of Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson are mourning her death today after the tragic news yesterday.
However, there are some friends who found the news of her death “sad but not surprising.”
These pals refer to Casey as “wild,” frequently partying in NYC an LA in an effort to forget her “personal problems”, like her family or her daughter, Ava. The source recalls that during one of the periods where her family cut her off, Casey even tried to squeeze money out of her friends by saying she needed it for her daughter. The source says:
“Recently she was reaching out to her friends for money. Casey would claim she need the money for baby Ava, but all of her friends knew that her mother had taken Ava to live with her. Her life was out of control, and she couldn’t take care of Ava”
So what led to all this crazy behavior? What else – lust for fame!
One source suggests that Casey was desperate to find the kind of recognition her childhood friend Paris Hilton had gotten, to the point that she got obsessed with it. The insider said:
“Casey adored Paris Hilton, Brittny Gastineau and even ex-girlfriend Courtenay Semel. She loved to be around them, but she was also obsessed with Paris’ fame. She never knew what to do to get the fame, so she was always craving it.”
She had so much else going for her, it’s sad to think she may have thrown it all away for something so trivial and fleeting.
