Have you seen the documentary Nothing Compares? She said that she didn't throw away any career, because she never wanted to be a pop star.
I have seen it. I didn't say she threw anything away, just that it had an impact on what her trajectory may have looked like, which is undeniable.
Right, makes sense. I suppose I was reading a bit too much into your "damaged" there. You're right, it definitely changed her career path a lot. I think the really bad consequence was that a lot of people had this impression that it was okay to attack her in some pretty nasty ways. Like when Joe Pesci said he'd physically attack her, it was obviously deemed acceptable by public.
