    She is full of BS. As someone who has 13 years of sobriety, there is NO ONE responsible for my behavior but me. That includes choosing to drink. I can’t count the number of times people encourage/push me to have a drink. It’s up to me to say no if I want a life of sobriety. She made the choice to return to the show multiple times for the money. She says that in this interview, that it was impossible to pass up. Bullshit. I’ve left good jobs due to bad work environments. You move on. She made a choice to prioritize money over her sobriety and mental health. She made the choice to drink knowing she was an addict. She made the choice to drink while on meds for mental health. She made the choice to join knowing anything and everything in your life is up for exposure. I’ve even heard Andy say that people should never go on reality TV if they have secrets currently or in the past because it will like be found out, usually by fans and exposed. And for her to say she “chose not to come back is a joke. Her show was cancelled. I saw her in an interview while they were in hiatus saying she hoped the show continued and she wanted to come back. I have several family members with bipolar and part of management is making sure you set up your life to not have chaos and avoid stress.
    She must be looking for a settlement because there’s no way she could win this.

It was so obvious but instead she said she gives people benefit of the doubt. Lol. Anyways I’m rambling now but amen to this comment and congrats on 13 years! That’s no small accomplishment!!

    She wanted to retire her mom? I got a sense from the show that she came from money. I think her mom was/is a psychotherapist in NYC. I forgot what her father did/does. Anyway, if we’re to believe what she’s saying is true then she is admitting that SHE put greed before her own mental and physical health. And as far as her claim that she decided to not sign on for another season, the network suspended production of the show which has yet to return to the airwaves. I think it’s a pathetic grab for attention and a big payday.

    The one thing that comes to mind is of nearly every reality show cast member commenting at some point on how they are basically placed at a lunch or dinner table... and plied with alcohol. I'm not stating that's ethically right.. but it is most definitely something that cast members would be very aware of.. and I think that's why she added in the part of how "they" would say to her "people miss the old Leah.. not the sober Leah".. which doesn't even make sense because it hadn't even aired because they were obviously just filming it. And even if it did.. that still doesn't equate to being forced to consume alcohol. It would be so refreshing to see one or more of these (generally) women who sue for allegedly moral reasons.. to do so with a true sense of protectiveness for other women.. and without financial incentive. It is extraordinary that a court could even assess this as being worthy of court process. She obviously thought that the 250k, for 1 week of work was excessive.. and there is often alot that is implied in a financial bonus- that wouldn't go down in a contract.. especially for an all expenses paid week away in Thailand with a group of women who you have had a big history of drinking with. And fr, she sounds like any addict/alcoholic who is incapable of taking basic accountability about the AA meetings. I understand she is trying to answer every basic and logical question before she is asked.. but maybe she could have done an online meeting.. or caught an uber to a meeting with the 250k you reveived for 7 days' work! 😅
    America really caters to these types of women.. and that is super problematic for women...

Unlikable reality TV stars CAN be suffering with mental health, alcoholism and addiction and STILL be treated with the same compassion as everyone else. If it was EASY for everyone to simply STOP using and get sober, what need would there be for rehab? Stop judging and educate yourself!
