EXCLUSIVE: Casey Johnson's Downward Spiral On Prescription Drugs
Semel, whose father is ex-Yahoo! honcho Terry Semel, shared a passionate -- and sometimes dangerous -- relationship with the late Johnson & Johnson heiress, including a 2009 incident which she allegedly beat Casey up before setting her hair on fire. Semel also was the one who reported Johnson to police on burglary charges involving British model Jasmine Lennard in December.
“The truth is that she needs to get serious help,” Semel prophetically told the NY Post following Johnson’s arrest last month. “But what worries me is that she will hit rock bottom before she does that."
Semel has also been romantically tied to Johnson's fiancé at her time of death, Tila Tequila, and to Lindsay Lohan.
