If as speculated their relationship was on the rocks, please, no finger-pointing. Elvis' handlers remarked that "You cannot save a man from himself." We're talking a very dark and sad pathology here people; none that any associates of Ms. Scott's seemed to detect, she being perceived as social, giving, and strong. But obviously, great suffering was going on at the same time. It's tragic. By all accounts and appearances she was a unique woman. While it's easy to say that the whole thing seems unnecessary, many among us manage personal demons...

But to call the assistant...imagine that scene. I find that selfish. Sorry to offend...I feel for the assistant, as I do for the desperate moment Ms. Scott found herself in.

it's interesting - i always thought her career was a sparkling success- some of the biggest names in the world wear her- but it seems like it was a giant facade - makes one wonder about other "successes" as they are presented to the public - another problem in a society today that thrives on hype over substance. We don't know what demons drove her to this tragic act, but it would appear that this particular pressure may have played a part. She was going to have a long and hard road ahead with lawsuits, loss of reputation etc - a tough moment in life -

I personally think it is inappropriate for any of us to run wild with speculation and repeat what the tabloids are saying because right now Mick is in bad pain...no matter the circumstances, and if we care about MICK, the man, we should simply send positive, healing thoughts and prayers his way (and to her family and friends.)..nothing else should matter...this was someone very close to him, end of story...all of the gossip and guessing about this VERY PERSONAL MATTER is frankly disgusting.

Let's face it - this is a giant f#ck you to Jagger. This is not about money. This is the downside to Jagger being a narracisit Rolling Stone. Suicide is an act of anger and outward aggression to those around you.

I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.

We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.

She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me.

I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.

I will never forget her,
Mick

Sad and terrible news indeed. I have friend who attemted suicide (unsuccessfully) and he told me" when you're in that black hole, nothing and nobody can talk you out of it." Who knows what goes on in the mind of a person in that black hole. Peace to her and her family and friends.

Very strong anxiety and depression can put almost anyone into that hole, even a very strong person. And she seemed to me as a strong person. Anyone in that hole should seek professional help as soon as possible, also family and friends are extremely important in that condition.

Anxiety can be sometimes so strong that it's like strong physical pain all the time and a person wants to do anything to escape that pain.

Of course there can be different reasons for a suicide but often there is strong anxiety behind the decision.

I know,because i´ve been there.

Hope you are doing ok now marko.

I´m ok now,but it took 3 years to recover completely.

Hi HB, I was very surprised at the state of her business as well. I read a lot of the fashion magazines and in the past year her name has started appearing a lot more frequently. One of my favorite beauty products is the Caudalie Exilir spray. I heard that she was a fan too and the next time I went to buy it, the design had changed and her name was now on the bottle, so she must have cut some kind of deal. Then recently she got into a makeup deal with the Bobbie Brown line. Many of her tweets in the last few months were to promote specific products. Late last year I saw that she started designing a casual line for Banana Republic. So even if her own L'Wren Scott line isn't performing, it surprises me that she's struggling financially.

i just saw this too - and found it curious that the photo he chose to include was of her alone- not the two of them together.

paulm, on this:
"We're talking a very dark and sad pathology here people; none that any associates of Ms. Scott's seemed to detect, she being perceived as social, giving, and strong."

It is starting to come out, per my reading online, that her friends may have picked up something of her declining mood during the last week.

I realize this is not known fact at this point, just an inkling of what may have gone on.


Cristiano, thanks so much for Mick's FB update.

He's probably not thinking too clearly right now...I'd cut him a bit of slack.

I agree, Treaclefingers. I know someone who lost a wife to suicide... and they were through a divorce... just because the relationship had ended (and I'm not speculating about Mick) didn't mean that it wasn't still a shattering event - and in fact the pain was almost worse because of the fractured relationship. I don't think anyone should judge Mick at the moment.

I was so afraid of this. These bastards have no shame, and it's only the beginning.

but it's nothing really new- come on- spectacular celebrity crash and burns have always been tabloid cat nip - why? because the people will pay for it.

I think he wanted a picture that captured her spirit, which this one does. It's about her life, not their life together. As to the formal nature of the message, Mick is a very private person, for him to write this much is probably more than he feels comfortable with. I think we can all agree that there's no right or wrong in how people express their grief.

So well said, hbwriter. Spot-on, I think.

Jagger's statement was perfectly lovely and perfectly dignified.
