“Other women have been so amazing to me; both the ones I don’t know who have reached out to me on Instagram – literally hundreds of thousands of them – and the ones I do know, my actual friends, my family, my daughters and also lots of showbiz women that I have worked with over the years.
“They have taken the time to send messages and actually be there for me.
“It is a real example of, you know, when you are going through a difficult time in life, how support from other women can be the lifeline that really keeps you afloat when you think you might be going under.”
