After a recent GoFundMe plea alerted the world that the actress was in financial straits, she opens up about her depression, her squandered sitcom fortune and her potential comeback.
Butler is no stranger to hard times. When she was discovered doing stand-up in New York City during the mid-1980s, she already had overcome alcoholism and an abusive marriage — the result of a self-fulfilling cycle of violence, as her father was an abusive alcoholic, too. Later, the pressures of starring on the hit Chuck Lorre sitcom, based on her own life , led to a Vicodin addiction.
“At the bloody bitter end, I really was difficult,” Butler concedes. “I was out of my mind. Drugs will do that to you. The show should have been pulled sooner than it was.” A few years after that, Butler fled Hollywood for Georgia, where she bought a bucolic property she’d spotted on the internet. That, too, ended badly. After failing to keep up with mortgage payments, she literally lost the farm. Contrary to ansegment that aired in 2011, however, she never lived “in a homeless shelter.” She insists she always had a roof over her head and that anproducer, who paid her for the appearance, fabricated the homelessness detail for ratings.
Flash forward to 2021, however, and amid the production slowdown caused by COVID-19, the specter of homelessness was looking to be more and more inevitable.
