There's definitely a lot more to this story. If she's a neighbor of Sheen's, she's not some random deranged fan or anything. This was in Malibu, which is very expensive and was very expensive before this latest real estate crisis. This is a wealthy woman who had some sort of personal issue with Sheen.

I'm not trying to defend her actions or anything, they were obviously inexcusable. I just think this goes beyond 'random crazy person.'

Could very well be a random crazy rich person.

Poor people are "crazy". Rich people are "eccentric" 😉

The more money you have, the longer it takes for others to realize your elevator stopped going up a long time ago.

Others realize it, they just don't say or do anything about it because of either wanting a piece or fear of retribution that the wealthy can afford.

This is definitely true, but it's not like rich people aren't also dangerous, unhinged criminals lol

I might lose my shit if I lived next to a rich cokehead with nothing but time on his hands, too.
