I have no idea why this came up on my Facebook feed today

and it's something for which I have no recollection. But I wanted to see if this was in-fact a true event, and it was. It happened in 1999. Of course, she was messed-up on drugs, but reportedly the callers into the show were brutal, and Howard was sometimes defending her, and sometimes making jokes about her situation. Years later, her son shot himself.
Has this been brought up since?
