[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
We have a uncommon replace right this moment on a narrative from approach again in 2014. In truth, it’s from precisely ten years in the past.
For those that don’t know, Julia Roberts‘ sister Nancy Motes tragically died by suicide on February 9, 2014. At the time, phrase was she had written a prolonged word — and in it had principally blamed her film star sister. A supply informed the NY Daily News that an EMT discovered a 5-web page word through which there “were three pages of rantings that her sister drove her to do this.”
Important to notice: Mental well being specialists advise psychological sickness is advanced, and nobody occasion or particular person needs to be seen because the trigger for one more’s suicide.
It was an terrible factor to listen to, however it did match what Nancy was saying on-line. She had infamously tweeted simply 4 months earlier:
“So my ‘sister’ said that with all her friends & fans she doesn’t need anymore love. Just so you all know ‘America’s Sweetheart’ is a BITCH!!”
We can’t think about having such a falling out with a sibling. After Nancy’s passing, her fiancé John Dilbeck appeared to be in search of peace, even when it was too late for his love. He put out a press release saying his late beloved actually did love her household nonetheless:
“John Dilbeck and his extended family would like to express their heartfelt condolences to all of Nancy Motes’ family and friends. We loved her dearly and will miss her always. Please know that the words she wrote in online venues were those of someone in pain who loved her family and longed for a closer bond with them.”
But now he’s modified his tune. The years have apparently solely made him really feel extra inclined to carry resentment towards Julia for what occurred with Nancy.

In his a part of the word — which was apparently a complete of 13 pages, with a few of it going on to Julia and a few on to their mom Betty — Nancy did point out her disdain for her sister. She wrote in a bit keen her earthly possessions to John:
“My mother and so-called ‘siblings’ get nothing except the memory that they are the ones that drove me into the deepest depression I’ve ever been in.”
Nancy’s dying haunts John. Even 10 years later, time has not come near therapeutic this wound. He tells DailyMail.com on Friday:
“It feels like I’ve been trapped in a coma. Life kind of stopped, the whole world fell apart after her death. I never recovered. You know, I’ve never had another serious relationship. Even after ten years, I’m devastated. Nancy was the world to me. It’s a hole in my soul. I just feel so empty and incomplete without her. They say you’re really fortunate if you ever find one soulmate in a life and maybe that was it. I still try to be hopeful, but here we are a decade later. It doesn’t feel that long, it feels like a blur. Once Nancy died, the pieces never got back together. I never found another solution. My life was very much ruined because I thought that was my future.”
So unhappy…
Julia has by no means spoken about her sister’s dying publicly. And lower than a month afterward she was sharing her megawatt smile on the Oscars, participating in Ellen DeGeneres‘ web-breaking selfie.
Living 10 years with the contents of that word — and nothing from Julia to vary his thoughts — he’s come to imagine Nancy’s model of occasions. He says:
“The note makes it very clear how horrible and wretched Julia had tormented Nancy her whole life. It showed the despair Nancy felt. It’s so heartbreaking. Anyone could see why someone In Nancy’s position had been pushed so far that the only way to escape her torment was to take her own life. That’s clearly what Nancy believed.”
Now he believes Julia was accountable — and if she actually is such a horrible human being, he assumed in the future the opposite shoe would drop:
“So many people have been outed, the toxic stars, I’ve been waiting for Julia to fall, I felt like it was a matter of time. But now that story gets overshadowed by other scandalous events, which seem to happen on a weekly basis, we just move onto the next scandal.”
Maybe this interview is to step into that shoe and take the following step himself? He definitely expresses a deep ache:
“I still feel resentful, anger. The wound doesn’t go away, it doesn’t heal. I can’t even forgive Julia for all that she’s done, because she lives in a fantasy bubble, where she would just deny everything.”
Why would he assume that?

Damn, Kevin Spacey AND Jared Leto? That picture actually didn’t age effectively…
Anyway, John continues:
“Nancy was made to look like some sort of drug addict that died of an overdose, which it turns out was never the case. The prescription medication was used by Nancy as a means to an end. Julia drove her into the deepest depression. But it’s a side of the story that’s kind of brushed off just like people don’t want to believe that Santa Claus isn’t real. At the time, Julia was the self-proclaimed American sweetheart – she is anything but.”
John claims he was banned from the funeral, that the household stored the situation from him and threatened anybody else who informed him. He says he discovered later Julia gave a eulogy he thought was “harsh,” through which she mentioned needed to wring her sister’s neck “because she didn’t wait to see the joy that comes with the morning.” He doesn’t assume it was proper:
“I asked some friends afterwards what it was like, ‘Do you think that’s what Nancy would have wanted?’ And they all unanimously said, ‘Absolutely no, she would be appalled by it’. Everyone there said they felt very awkward especially when Julia got up to speak. It just adds insult to injury.”
He nonetheless thinks the opposite shoe is coming, explaining:
(*10*)
Wow. He actually isn’t making an attempt to maintain any form of peace anymore. Such a devastating story.
