It's bad enough we lost her. Now this vulture gets to swoop in and profit off bs...

I will say I have heard this same thing from a source who was very close to Chris...as much as we may not like to imagine her sad, I do think she struggled with loneliness a lot. That's not to say she wasn't a dynamic, positive, amazing person who jumped back into life after 2012 and obviously brought so much joy to those around her, but privately, I do think she-- maybe like a lot of older women who find themselves without a permanent partner (and in her case, without children also) -- she could often feel a bit too 'on her own'.

So while i take issue with about a thousand other things in this jones book lol, this particular topic i think may indeed be true, or the impression jones got from whatever time she spent with chris, because i heard that about her long before this book came out.
