Curtis further discussed her family troubles — pointing out that her late brother also suffered from drug addiction.
“There was a period of time where I was the only child that was talking to him. I had six siblings. I have five. My brother, Nicholas, died of a heroin overdose when he was 21 years old. But I shared drugs with my dad,” Curtis confessed.
The 60-year-old then discussed partaking in drugs with her late father.

“I did cocaine and freebased once with my dad,” she said. “But that was the only time I did that, and I did that with him. He did end up getting sober for a short period of time and was very active in recovery for about three years.”
“It didn’t last that long. But he found recovery for a minute,” Curtis continued.
