In an interview with police, Charice's grandmother Mrs Teresita Relucio explained that the singer had been dealing with a lot of stress financially after being written off of the US hit TV show Glee.
Since leaving the show, Charice has suffered with bullying for the way she dresses and her sexual orientation. Charice reportedly attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, but is yet to make a statement surrounding her problems.
Charice played character Sunshine Corazon in an episode of Glee. Earlier this year Charice's co-star Cory Monteith died from a drugs overdose in a hotel room.

(5,721 posts)She appeared in 3 episodes 2-3 years ago in a minor role in a large ensemble cast. It's time people stop building these performers expectations and careers into something they aren't.

(4,868 posts)The girl has trouble dealing with the way things have been going (on top of any other emotional or mental stress she may have) and you pile on. Good job piling on to a girl that tried to kill herself. Jerk.

(6,665 posts)It implies her stardom came from her three episode appearance, rather than her incredible work outside that show. Going back to my generation, it's like saying "Beverly Hillbillies star Gloria Swanson" because she appeared on one episode of that show. Yeah, she was a Beverly Hillbillies star to those younger viewers who had no concept of her massive fame prior to that.

I hope she is able to get the long-term help she needs.
