[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
We now have a uncommon replace in the present day on a narrative from method again in 2014. The truth is, it’s from precisely ten years in the past.
For individuals who don’t know, Julia Roberts‘ sister Nancy Motes tragically died by suicide on February 9, 2014. On the time, phrase was she had written a prolonged word — and in it had principally blamed her film star sister. A supply advised the NY Day by day Information that an EMT discovered a 5-page word during which there “had been three pages of rantings that her sister drove her to do that.”
Necessary to notice: Psychological well being consultants advise psychological sickness is complicated, and nobody occasion or individual ought to be seen because the trigger for one more’s suicide.
It was an terrible factor to listen to, nevertheless it did match what Nancy was saying on-line. She had infamously tweeted simply 4 months earlier:
“So my ‘sister’ stated that with all her mates & followers she doesn’t want anymore love. Simply so that you all know ‘America’s Sweetheart’ is a BITCH!!”
We are able to’t think about having such a falling out with a sibling. After Nancy’s passing, her fiancé John Dilbeck gave the impression 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 prolonged household wish to categorical their heartfelt condolences to all of Nancy Motes’ household and mates. We beloved her dearly and can miss her at all times. Please know that the phrases she wrote in on-line venues had been these of somebody in ache who beloved her household and longed for a more in-depth bond with them.”
However 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 piece keen her earthly possessions to John:
“My mom and so-called ‘siblings’ get nothing besides the reminiscence that they’re those that drove me into the deepest melancholy 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 appears like I’ve been trapped in a coma. Life form of stopped, the entire world fell aside after her dying. I by no means recovered. You already know, I’ve by no means had one other severe relationship. Even after ten years, I’m devastated. Nancy was the world to me. It’s a gap in my soul. I simply really feel so empty and incomplete with out her. They are saying you’re actually lucky when you ever discover one soulmate in a life and perhaps that was it. I nonetheless attempt to be hopeful, however right here we’re a decade later. It doesn’t really feel that lengthy, it appears like a blur. As soon as Nancy died, the items by no means bought again collectively. I by no means discovered one other answer. My life was very a lot ruined as a result of I believed that was my future.”
So unhappy…
Julia has by no means spoken about her sister’s dying publicly. And fewer than a month afterward she was sharing her megawatt smile on the Oscars, participating in Ellen DeGeneres‘ internet-breaking selfie.
Dwelling 10 years with the contents of that word — and nothing from Julia to alter his thoughts — he’s come to imagine Nancy’s model of occasions. He says:
“The word makes it very clear how horrible and wretched Julia had tormented Nancy her entire life. It confirmed the despair Nancy felt. It’s so heartbreaking. Anybody might see why somebody In Nancy’s place had been pushed up to now that the one method to escape her torment was to take her personal 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 at some point the opposite shoe would drop:
“So many individuals have been outed, the poisonous stars, I’ve been ready for Julia to fall, I felt prefer it was a matter of time. However now that story will get overshadowed by different scandalous occasions, which appear to occur on a weekly foundation, we simply transfer onto the following scandal.”
Perhaps this interview is to step into that shoe and take the following step himself? He actually expresses a deep ache:
“I nonetheless really feel resentful, anger. The wound doesn’t go away, it doesn’t heal. I can’t even forgive Julia for all that she’s carried out, as a result of she lives in a fantasy bubble, the place she would simply deny the whole lot.”
Why would he suppose that?

Rattling, Kevin Spacey AND Jared Leto? That picture actually didn’t age nicely…
Anyway, John continues:
“Nancy was made to appear to be some form of drug addict that died of an overdose, which it seems was by no means the case. The prescription medicine was utilized by Nancy as a method to an finish. Julia drove her into the deepest melancholy. Nevertheless it’s a aspect of the story that’s form of dismissed identical to individuals don’t wish to imagine that Santa Claus isn’t actual. On the time, Julia was the self-proclaimed American sweetheart – she is something however.”
John claims he was banned from the funeral, that the household saved the placement from him and threatened anybody else who advised him. He says he discovered later Julia gave a eulogy he thought was “harsh,” during which she stated wished to wring her sister’s neck “as a result of she didn’t wait to see the enjoyment that comes with the morning.” He doesn’t suppose it was proper:
“I requested some mates afterwards what it was like, ‘Do you suppose that’s what Nancy would have wished?’ And so they all unanimously stated, ‘Completely no, she can be appalled by it’. Everybody there stated they felt very awkward particularly when Julia bought as much as communicate. It simply provides insult to damage.”
He nonetheless thinks the opposite shoe is coming, explaining:
“However I imagine she’s actually bought dangerous Karma coming. I’ve bought to imagine that in some way Karma has to get this girl. She is completely wretched.”
Wow. He actually isn’t attempting to maintain any form of peace anymore. Such a devastating story.
