The other day, I talked to you about Misha Barton, one of the IT Girls of the first decade of the millennium.
The two sisters, Lindsay Lohan, Britney, Paris and Nikki Hilton, who were active at the same time as her, were the top celebrities of the year.
But many people don't know that among the IT Girls, who were active at the same time as the Hilton sisters, there is also a top celebrity from a billionaire family. She went out with the Hilton sisters almost every week and made headlines in bloody gossip magazines.
She has always been at the center of the Hilton sisters' network universe, participated in and witnessed various disputes in the circle, and also exposed the outrageous drama of her boyfriend being snatched away by a famous aunt.
This famous lady is the famous Johnson and Johnson family, Kathy Johnson.
Casey belongs to a wealthy Johnson & Johnson family, her great-great-great-grandfather Robert Wood Johnson & Johnson, co-founder of Johnson & Johnson, and Woody Johnson , the owner of the $3.6 billion New York Jets football team.
As the heiress of the Johnson family, Casey enjoyed prosperity and wealth from birth, buying Chanel at the age of 10, wearing snakeskin high heels at the age of 11, and sending a car to his father at the age of 16 before he had a driver's license.
To outsiders, she is no different from the doted ladies who grew up in New York's upper class. After the Hilton sisters, who are similar in age, became best friends, they became a new generation of party queens together, arrogant and domineering.
But unlike Paris, who later became popular through live-action shows, and Nikki Hilton, who later married the noble son of the Rothschild family, Casey died mysteriously at the age of 30 and was found several days after his death.
The life of a top celebrity is full of chaotic tragedies.
Casey was born in 1979 and is the eldest daughter in the family. Her mother, Sal Johnson, is a singer who became a celebrity and active in social circles after marrying into the Johnson family.
According to the growth route of people's stereotypical celebrities, Casey should have attended private school since she was a child, attended the Ivy League, and went to work in a family business or do charity after graduation.
Unfortunately, Casey was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 8, began to see a psychiatrist at the age of 9, and was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in adolescence.
Because of her illness, her mood swings were very large, except for the doctor, who could not suppress it at all. While her mother was helpless against her, her father had been indifferent to her because he disliked his daughter's bad state, only giving money and not caring, and the relationship between father and daughter was very indifferent.
Casey had said that she had sought her father's approval all her life, but had never received it.
After stumbling into high school, she became classmates with Paris Hilton. Both of them are very rebellious, often taking their little sister Nikki Hilton to skip school and sneak out to crazy parties, becoming the "notorious" new generation of Manhattan celebrities.
After graduating from high school, Casey enrolled in Brown University, but because dogs were not allowed in the school dormitory, he dropped out of school and returned to Manhattan, worked as a singing teacher at the school he attended in high school, and went to work as a beauty editor in a fashion magazine.
The pay for doing these jobs is meagre, but Kathy enjoys it, saying bluntly, "It's nice to have a place that needs me!" ”
But her ambition is not just to be an editor. Casey began to learn to sing at the age of 6 and has always dreamed of becoming a singer and movie star.
In 2003, Paris Hilton's reality show "Simple Life" began to cast, originally she wanted to find the best girlfriend Casey at first, but Casey felt that the reality show was not serious and would have an impact on her future acting career, and declined it.
She also earned the nickname "Paris Hilton with Brains".
Who knows, after the show started, it caught fire, and Paris and another friend, Nicole Ritchie, became top red stars.
Casey later told the media that not filming the show was her most regrettable decision, otherwise she could take advantage of the situation to manage her dream of stardom.
The explosion of Paris's show also became a watershed in Casey's life.
During this period, her parents divorced, and in order to chase another star dream, Casey bought a large villa in California for $3.2 million and moved to Hollywood with four dogs.
But everywhere she went, most people would only make friends with her "Johnson" surname. Some people picture her name, some people value her money, and few people think that she has any real skills. Some of her cameo roles are famous ladies with similar identities to herself, and her acting skills are on the surface.
In Casey's social circle, some people evaluate her as a walking "mean girl", not only will call and directly scold people she doesn't like, but also write very vicious emails to ridicule others for being fat and ugly and white garbage.
However, Kathy's good friends also think that she is very generous, although it can become very terrible if betrayed. She once quarreled with her girlfriends and ex-boyfriend in a bar, went to court, and finally her father came forward to help her settle the case.
Although Woody Johnson is completely free-range and emotionally cares about his daughter, who suffers from diabetes and mental illness, he helps her with anything that happens.
In addition to settling the brawl lawsuit, his daughter's dog had diarrhea in a luxury hotel and destroyed furniture, and he had to pay tens of thousands of dollars, and he paid quickly. His daughter is going to Hollywood to chase her dream of stars, and he arranges for the trust fund to make regular money. For him, anything can be solved with money.
His father was so conniving because although Casey did not tarnish the family's reputation too much, at most he was arrogant and domineering.
However, in 2006, she and her aunt Ribette Johnson (Daddy's sister) publicly quarreled with each other, which completely angered the family and became the trigger for her early death.
(Aunt and multiple little boyfriends)
In 2005, Casey had a stable boyfriend named John Dee, who was a musician from an ordinary background, who looked okay, and insiders said that he was very good at making women happy, and he was a little fond of soft rice to find rich women.
After the two dating, Casey would take him to some events, and sometimes Aunt Ribette was present.
This year, her aunt Ribet, who has been doing charity in Cambodia for many years, invited Kathy and John to visit the orphanage together.
According to a 2006 interview, her aunt may have seen John in the right eye and proposed that each of the three should have a room instead of her and her boyfriend.
Casey said that after her aunt and John met in 2005, they cheated on her for almost a year.
In 2006, the editor of Gossip Weekly emailed her with a love letter correspondence between her aunt and John. All this made her very stimulated, very angry, and simply stabbed the matter to "Vanity Fair" magazine, directly scolding her aunt for robbing her boyfriend.
You know, the Johnson & Johnson family has always been low-key, and the family style is not to show off and steal wealth. Casey made such a mess, even if she was not wrong to stand on the moral high ground, but threw her aunt into that gossip vortex, which disgraced the Johnson and Johnson family.
The family's reproach dealt a blow to Casey, who already had some mental problems, and at the same time, Woody Johnson, who had always kept her prosperous and wealthy, cut off his daughter's trust fund in order to "educate her and sober her", and only helped pay the rent.
After having an unpleasant fight with her aunt, Casey mentioned in an interview with Vanity Fair that her aunt and ex-boyfriend did not do things properly, but her charity trip in Cambodia still made her gain a lot and gave birth to the idea of adopting a child.
Casey's parents are strongly opposed to this. Her mother persuaded Casey, hoping that after she did her own life, she would consider becoming a mother, raising a child is not raising a dog, and if she can't raise it, she can't give it to others.
But where would Casey listen? Relying on some pocket money left behind, she actually adopted a daughter from abroad in 2007 and named her Ava-Monroe, on the grounds that she liked Marilyn Monroe. After this operation, her father became even more indifferent to her.
After adopting his daughter in 2007, Casey took her daughter to the residence of her father and second wife, hoping that he would see her granddaughter.
But when she arrived at her father's mansion, her stepmother drove her away and forbade her to enter the door, and her father did not ask. She wrote many letters and emails to her father, but no one responded.

The father's indifference, the loneliness of parenting, and the embarrassment of money made Casey collapse. She was in a poor mental state and started taking tranquilizers. At the same time, it is necessary to inject insulin all the time to control blood sugar, often full and hungry, and the body becomes worse.
Her mother later decided to intervene and wanted Casey to be hospitalized to recover and then help bring her granddaughter herself, but Casey disagreed and was very stubborn.
Casey's mom later told the media:
"Her father didn't care about his daughter at all, because she did have so many things. However, the father should have 'stopped the bullets' for the children, but he ran.
I can't justify his actions, because it's really scary, he is such a person, he has no emotional capacity, and loves to be an ostrich to escape. ”
In August 2009, Casey was hospitalized in poor health and finally handed over her daughter to her mother to help take care of. She had just been discharged from the hospital, and her parents stopped paying her rent on the grounds that "now you have to be truly self-reliant."
Ill, Casey couldn't work, her car was mortgaged, she defaulted on rent, and was taken in by a friend of her mother.
Her financial straits, and in early December 2009, Casey was arrested for stealing from friends' clothes and jewelry, worsening her reputation.
However, in order to make money, Casey still had to maintain her exposure, she continued to attend some Hollywood events, and even got engaged to a female Internet celebrity named Tila Tequila.
This Internet celebrity has always been very good at creating topics to attract traffic, constantly showing off his engagement to Johnson & Johnson, and the topic has soared.
As it turned out, Casey was still confused.
During Christmas 2009, after a big fight with her "fiancée", she left her to hang out on her own. No one knew what happened to Casey for the next few days, until the morning of January 4, 2010, when the servant who went to work after the holiday knocked on her door, she found Casey, who had been out of breath for a long time.
The autopsy report revealed that Casey died of complications of diabetes and did not have insulin injections before her death. The famous lady of the Johnson & Johnson health care family, the cause of death is so, how ironic.
After her death, the Johnson & Johnson family quickly held a funeral and were not even willing to mention Casey's name again.
Her father told the media: "Casey always wanted to find herself, she was rebellious, she made some bad decisions, she went through a lot of things, and she was responsible for these things. My mother and the doctor should not be the ones who force her to grow, she should eventually take the initiative to change. ”
Kathy Johnson was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, but died early at the age of 30. Even if you are rich, you can't hide from the impermanence of fate, and you are a little embarrassed.
