J.K. Rowling Considered Ending It All

March 24, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K

If we didn’t have J.K. Rowling, we wouldn’t have Harry Potter which means we wouldn’t have Daniel Radcliffe. That makes me sad. J.K. Rowling recently said she contemplated killing herself after her first marriage to Jorge Arante ended. She said, “We’re talking suicidal thoughts here, we’re not talking ‘I’m a little bit miserable. Mid-twenties life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted.”

After she left Jorge, friends helped her pay the security deposit on an apartment where she wrote Harry Potter. And the rest is history! J.K. said her daughter kept her going and she also sought the help of a therapist.

Who hasn’t contemplated swallowing a whole bottle of Tylenol at least once in their life? I contemplated leaving this cruel world when I learned “The Charmings” was being taken off the air. Hey, I was 8 and I really liked Snow White.

I’m sure Jorge is now the one that’s suicidal after he learned J.K. is richer than fucking fuck.
