I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.
My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.
I think she also changed her name and/or socially detransitioned. She didn’t feel she could safely live as Isabel after all the bad press.
I didn’t know about NK Jemisin’s involvement, but I’ve lost some respect for her now.
