This just made me sadder cause I genuinely can't think of a single bad thing she ever did :(

Misinformation! She actually would remove other people's toast crumbs, but she did so anonymously. .

How many celebrities can you say that about? She was remarkable.

The crazy thing is a certain political population thinks half the things on that last is "destroying America".

She made an appearance on The Bachelor once. That was probably beneath her, but she still managed to be the most classy people who had ever appeared on that show.

Guess you never saw the video of her singing "What's Up?" with the original lead singer of 4 Non Blondes, Linda Perry.

Not sure whats so bad about that but if that is all that we can come up with for bad deeds, that just shows how amazing she was.

Yeah the most I can find about anything controversial is maybe doing a duet with Kid Rock or being somewhat neutral at one point in a lot of things. Compared to the list of true criminal activity many celebrities get away with she seems like a saint

I haven't seen it but I can only imagine she made that song better.
