Some big Skepic finally spilled her tea about junkie BenC.

So a big name in skepticdom, a BNIS, is using the rather alarming reference to the “tea party” to spill out the “truth about junkie BenC” she claims to know with a weird tone of insider pathos.
Of course I am very skeptical of this skeptic's elevated status. A real insider would never spill her precious tea in some random post on the tumblr.
Still I am rather certain that she is correct. Yet one does not need to be a bloody insider, one just needs EYES and a little experience with life and drugs and the US media and movie industry to know that BenC has been a junkie roughly since he got involved with the heavy US marketing machinery last fall (hence HW).
I only disagree with her as to him being clean now.
That spooky interview on US today showed a sexy beast from a distance (the wonderful bratty bit on the twitter imposter), and from a close range a person who is either very sick or a junkie of some sorts.
Also explains why he is such a bad Hamlet. He just pushes and rushes through like a typical coke nose, not finding any quiet strength to really live and breathe in his part.
Oh I hate the US for their insane drug and pharma cult.
Oh I hate them for making every single naïve moon calf who is caught in their web of fame and money and bad habits a junkie wreck within months.
May the gods punish you, you evil empire!
Obviously everything Cronenberg is showing in his “Maps to the Stars” is true, and worse.
Other than that GatedFish I do not need some “insider creds” to make a very sad prediction: I am afraid HW and everything else killed BenC's magic talent.
I am afraid that he will, as long as he remains a junkie, never ever give a really good and deep and subtle performance ever again. For other than that evil empire of insane faith in drugs I know for certain that drug addictions kill genius, and never enhance it.
I could elaborate as to why, in biological, neurological and moral terms, but I will rest my sad case for now.
