Maybe not, but it does impact the studio's decision whether or not to
employ someone who might go nutso again at any moment or bring bad
press coverage t their products.

The same has happened with numerous other celebrities who went nutso.
Some manage to claw back their careers, others get stranded doing only
low grade productions or presenting "reality" TV shows, and some
disappear from the limelight completely ... a few somehow manage to
make being nutso their career (Britney Spears being one).
