Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why the fuck are you even here? This woman probably went through a mental hell and here you are being insensitive to her death. At least she was someone unlike you.
Why are you so angry?
Maybe jealous? Maybe doesn't like women?
Shrugs
Maybe just having a bad day?
Kitchen staff do have a super high rate of addiction. It's almost like they're there through Stockholm Syndrome. I have a friend who was in that and had to GTFO. He couldn't stay in food service and get clean.
White privileged? Certainly! Her family owned a little flower shop in the middle of Pennsylvania. Started her off in a local college for an associate's degree in communication, and they sent her to a local culinary institute when she wanted to pursue it. She graduated from that and showed talent, so they sent her off to a cooking school in Italy. Even moderate wealth begets wealth.
She returned to the US as a sous chef, hopped a couple of places, and got noticed by some well-known chefs. It was a lot of privilege, but she had some pretty decent talent. She moved to teaching at a culinary institute. A restaurant in the Village in NYC recruited her as their Executive Chef. She left there after a year due to the chaos, and was thinking of opening her own place. Food Network, always on the lookout for a bargain, picked her up and used her to run several shows. She had a decent personality. She opened up her own restaurant with the FN money, and it failed out of the gate like most do.
She wrote a couple of cookbooks, got married to someone she met on an online dating site a couple of years ago, was leaving the cooking scene altogether, and trying to edge into improv comedy, when she took a bunch of pills after 1 am and was found dead by her husband. She was 55.
It's hard to discern online personality and editing from real life. She was funny, charismatic. They never made her into the callibur of asshole they normally seem to do to make her palatable to cooking show enthusiasts.
