I never spoke about this accident in public before. This is the first time I bring myself to talk about it. What I got to say about this is that she struggled against a very terrible disease called Alcoholism. I have no idea how bad it is or was. I have no idea what addiction is.
Addiction is a terrible disease.
It's not something they control and it has to be treated as a disease. And all this I didn't know until now. So, I started a Foundation in my wife's name, Nerine Shatner, in the United States. And with that money we will try and help other addicts. And then she had the accident and wasn't able to continue.
