Grey Gardens

AT LEAST CASEY JOHNSON DIDN’T DIE IN SQUALOR

The deluge of information about Casey Johnson’s tragic death left some pertinent questions unanswered: If she was too poor to pay her utility bills, how could a MAID have discovered her body? If she had no water or lights, how could she get dressed up and go out to clubs at night? Her living conditions were described as filthy and neglected “like Grey Gardens“ but the house pictured above where her body was discovered is immaculate. If she couldn’t pay utility bills, how could she pay her rent? We investigated and were enlightened by a friendly neighbor. He clarified the following: Casey often stayed at the GUEST HOUSE of the multimillion dollar West Hollywood house pictured above. The owner was a friend of her parents. Probably she went there to escape a ramshackle abode elsewhere. Especially if bill collectors were after her. The maid belonged to the expensive main house’s owner and the property and pool are kept in pristine condition. At least Casey didn’t die under horrible conditions. Right now there’s a security guard sitting in a car in front of this house.

CASEY JOHNSON HAD HIT ROCK BOTTOM

We were horrified to learn that the late Casey Johnson was living in “Grey Gardens” type squalor when she died. Her rented LA house was filled with garbage and had no electricity, water, or gas, because she couldn’t pay the utility bills. She kept her Porsche hidden in a garage so it wouldn’t be repossessed. The walls were covered with graffiti and the swimming pool was like a green swamp. How she managed to get dressed up and go out is a mystery. Neighbors said sleazy looking types stopped by her house at all hours. When she refused to go to rehab, her parents cut off her finances. They’ve been criticized for letting Casey live like that, but they thought “tough love” was the right move, and might force her to get help. If they HAD supported her financially, they would have been facilitating her self destructive habits. We feel sorry for the parents – Casey had a bad drug habit and probably mental illness – you can’t FORCE someone like that to clean up unless they WANT to. Neglect is not the issue here. There really is no answer, is there?
