Those shots in the Master Class show? I wonder if those are real - all those shots seemed staged to me. Or do you mean there are old pics somwhere of her pill bottles? I'd be interested to know if the docs are still practicing.

Here's the thing - was it a bad idea for Stevie to take Klonopin? Yes. Was it illegal? Nope. Was it unethical? The doctor could claim that it was necessary for her mental state at the time. If she was put on it as a mood stabilizer or to combat anxiety, it was being used correctly, at least at first. Lots of people become addicted to prescription drugs - sometimes the physician is partially at fault, sometimes he/she is not.
