CNN announced on June 8 that celebrity chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain died of an apparent suicide in his Strasbourg, France hotel room. Bourdain's passing is the second tragic celebrity death at the hands of mental illness within the past week—fashion designer Kate Spade was found dead in her Manhattan apartment on June 5.

In what is surely a difficult time for anyone who suffers from depression, Paula Froelich, the journalist and author who dated Bourdain in 2005, took to social media to write at length about her experiences with the "black dog."


She first posted to Instagram, with a simple caption:

To a good man, a great friend, a loyal love. That's all I'm going to say


 

Froelich then took to Twitter, where she wrote a moving thread that began:

Here's the thing about depression: it's a sneaky little, sticky B****.

You can be rich as hell, totally successful but still lonely AF and the "you're nothing but a fraud" voice only goes away when the ambien takes effect.







Froelich ends on a hopeful note. No matter what we go through, at least we all have each other.

But take heart in knowing: only the best, funniest, loveliest, most empathetic, wonderful, talented people have depression. You're in a good crowd. Now. Let's go fight that black dog. Together.

Many celebrities paid tribute to Bourdain following his passing and continued the important discussion about dealing with clinical depression and destigmatizing mental illness.






None of us have to fight alone.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
