After making about $250,000 per episode from her ABC sitcom, the comedian admitted to losing her millions due to her \u201cprofligate\u201d spending and financial carelessness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brett revealed: \u201cI was a little bit too trusting with some people that worked for me, and I had a lot of things stolen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just stupid on my part, not to have insurance for those things. And to loan and give a lot of money away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added: “I really just felt so guilty for having it \u2014 I almost couldn\u2019t get rid of it fast enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the TV star might be facing eviction from her Los Angeles apartment, Brett asked her closest friend, Lon Strickler, to “form a GoFundMe account for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead star was hesitant at first but finally relented because she was “so screwed right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brett realized that she “waited too long to do” the\u00a0GoFundMe page<\/a>\u00a0because she was “almost ashamed to death.”<\/p>\n

The Morning Show actress felt people would not sympathize with her ordeals and said: \u201cMost people that are in it never had the opportunities I did. It doesn\u2019t really lessen my self-loathing or fear about it, but I do realize that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>‘PEASE HELP MY FRIEND’<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to the crowdfunding site<\/a>, Lon has been organizing the fundraiser on behalf of his friend.<\/p>\n

Lon claimed that Brett’s situation was “urgent” because she “has exhausted all of her resources.”<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that the “stress of looming eviction is straining her mentally and physically.”<\/p>\n

Lon mentioned: “Brett is one of the kindest down to earth people that any one will meet. She has helped me get through some rough times and I feel it\u2019s time for me, and her friends, to help get her through this.<\/p>\n

“Brett has many fans all over the world. I am praying hearts will open and you will give what you can.”<\/p>\n

The blogger concluded: “She has made millions of people laugh over the years. It\u2019s time to give back to her for her gift of laughter to all of us.”<\/p>\n

The fundraiser has currently reached up to more than $14,000 of its $20,000 goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>THE SITCOM<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brett became popular among TV fans as the feisty Grace Burdette-Kelly during the ’90s. The Grace Under Fire show lasted for about five seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recently divorced and a recovering alcoholic, Grace dealt with the pressures of being a single mother who supported her three children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After getting sober back in July 1998, Brett has insisted that she has not touched drugs or alcohol since then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
