Your husband takes his life, and because you truly care...you go ON THE AIR to discuss the trauma of it all...Dr. Phil (who has helped every publicly troubled persona since aiding Oprah in her Texas trial. Way to go Taylor, way to hit the PR trails with the passing of your husband (who himself was trying to give a fake persona as well...."renting" in Beverly Hills), he likely left you what you deserve: debt.
