2000s

In a 2006 interview with ABC??s —Good Morning America,?? Williams admitted to falling off the wagon. Months earlier he had checked into rehab, where he was treated for alcohol addiction. He told ABC??s Diane Sawyer that falling back into abuse was —very gradual,?? and that addiction is a sickness that knows no statute of limitations. —It waits,?? he said. —It lays in wait for the time when you think, —It's fine now, I'm OK.?? Then, the next thing you know, it's not OK.??

In 2009, Williams had heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. Although drug and alcohol addiction are known to cause heart problems, Williams had a family history of heart disease, and Dr. Timothy Gardner, then the president of the American Heart Association, told ABC in 2009 that his condition was not likely related to his past substance abuse.

Soon after his recovery, Williams announced a 20-date tour for his comedy show —Weapons of Self-Destruction?? (embedded below), which he said drew from —a relapse, three years of heavy drinking, going to rehab in wine country to keep my options open, coming out of that, divorce, and open heart surgery.??

Have some fucking respect instead of turning all of this into some dramallama because you're a heartless cunt. He clearly was suffering, his family is suffering, the whole thing is just sad any way you spin it. The world has lost one of the comedic greats and his family is mourning.

Some of you are no better than some of the tacky ass tabloids. Go get some class or gtfo pls. kthx.



No need to be defensive and nasty, it's a waste of energy because it just bounced off of me and unfortunately for you, doesn't change what I think or feel AT ALL.

To glorify suicide is FUCKED UP. I'm not fucked up, I just look at the facts here and the REALITY of it. No drama about that whatsoever hun.
