14 DAY TRIAL // For those of you that don't remember, last month Academy nominee Julia Roberts was involved in an embarrassing and tragic scandal after she was blamed for the suicide of her estranged step sister, Nancy Motes, who decided to take her own life with a drug overdose.
After the tragic news made its way in the press, it was revealed that Nancy blamed Julia for a lot of her misfortunes in life and also her entire family for pushing her away due to her drug addiction and her weight issues.
Now, Radar is claiming that some disturbing parts of her video diary taken during her last days has been leaked online and it could prove to be further damaging to Julia Roberts' career and public image.
It appears that at least some parts of the video diary deal with Motes' relationship with her estranged step-sister as the late Motes apparently offers a heartfelt confession to the camera. A preview for the video, called “Now That I Have Your Attention,” made its way on YouTube on Monday.
The description said that the video was aimed at exposing “how [Motes] was bullied about her weight by her family and how her life day to day … really was by her own words. Real Life Moments.” Unfortunately, the video has been since taken down by Motes' estate which claims to have copyright over it, meaning that the footage will more than likely not see the light of day.
In a part of the clip apparently filmed on May 15, 2013, Motes can be heard saying “Same old same old with my family. Situation doesn’t change … There’s been some crap …”
Her issues with her famous sister seemed to put a sad note over her recent engagement and also her weight loss due to a gastric bypass operation. It seems that Motes simply could not shake the fact that her family, and Julia Roberts in particular, had abandoned her and wanted nothing to do with her anymore.
The same point was made by people close to Nancy in the final months of her life, who pointed blaming fingers at the actress and claimed that she drove her sister to suicide. Prior to her death on February 9, Nancy posted a couple of bitter tweets about her sister in which she publicly accused her of not caring.
““So my ‘sister’ said that with all her friends & fans she doesn’t need anymore love,” Motes said “Just so you all know ‘America’s Sweetheart’ is a [expletive]!!” and later added “Do you want to be a fan of someone so cruel? She’s not even that good of an actress. Happy you totally [expletive] with me?”
