They aren’t all on drugs but there is a dark not so secret side to the industry that is harmful

That's what Elton John was probably referring to in the lyrics to "Candle In the Wind"

It seems that just about every other day a celebrity would OD on something, or even commit suicide or have some awful meltdown, or just expire from a lifetime of "Dr. Feelgood" like what happened to Elvis Presley and later Michael Jackson who followed in his footsteps.

Then there's the personal relationships, often with kids involved, that are like a Jerry Springer episode just with less trailer park and more luxury mansion, but still the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a trailer park in Appalachia. Same kinds of stuff, just with more digits to the left of the decimal place as to the size of the incomes and lifestyles.

He’s now released a rap song about his innocence and denies that he is a felon. How crazy is he going to get? Does anyone still support him?

He sounds kind of "5150" level of delusional.

Yes, a huge amount of drug use. They have money and access.

Whitney Houston was another...

FWIW

I remember seeing a short little PSA on television about 40 years ago that showed a huge mirror lying on a table in a dressing room. The word "Hollywood" was being spelled out in lines of cocaine.

Someone, seen from the back so the face wasn't visible, then rolled up a $100 bill and used it to snort it.

They may be successful but they aren’t smart.  That stuff destroys and kills.
