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 got ripped off for the Deluxe Last Unicorn edition by that snake. I’m still mad, esp as money is very tight.

      Yeah, I mentioned those a couple of comments down. There were a few promised items that never were produced even though there were pre orders.

        I’m dumber than most. Sometime in 2014, I got mad about the wait and found Colan’s phone number. I’d been emailing a pile of assistants, but I found his home number. He offered me a refund, but talked me out of it, since he was “so close” to getting them done.
