When someone told MJ no, he cut them out of his life and looked for someone who'd tell him yes. He wanted to do what he wanted to do and to hell with anyone telling him otherwise.

And please note - this is coming from someone who has hypothyroidism and wasn't sad, but instead suffered an array of other problems as a result of it. This condition is nothing to brush off, it can lead to severe heart complications if left untreated. In short, it can kill you. And there's probably some viewers who are ignoring potential symptoms, not aggressively monitoring it or taking medication and making the appropriate lifestyle changes (I saw parts of the episode where Oprah talked about her post-hypo diet, there was no fiber, kinda important if you have hypothyroidism actually).

It's a little pathetic, when you think about it, that the world's richest woman can't handle something millions of men and women deal with everyday, without access to healthcare, organic food, assistants, etc. I really hope this story blows up, as it would at least help educate the American public about hyper and hypothyroidism and the autoimmune disorders that can cause it.
