Julia Roberts’ half-sister Nancy Motes claimed in a handwritten suicide note that her ‘so-called siblings’ and mother were the ones who ‘drove [her] into the deepest depression’.

Motes passed away earlier this year, reported Ace Showbiz . “My mother and so-called ‘siblings’ get nothing except the memory that they are the ones that drove me into the deepest depression I’ve ever been in,” read the note.

“I’ve suffered through this disease all my life, however it has never been this bad. I burst into tears every morning because I woke up,” the note further read.

The Los Angeles County Coroner concluded that Motes committed suicide in February by taking various drugs and climbing into a bathtub filled with water.

Addressing her fiancé John Dilbeck, Motes wrote, “I know this will affect you the most and I can’t apologise enough. I was truly blessed and lucky to have you as my true love and best friend. I will carry you with me forever.”
