Philip Seymour Hoffman's life partner Mimi O'Donnell is finally speaking out about the Oscar winner's death over 15 months after he tragically passed away from a heroin overdose.
In a new interview with The New York Times, O'Donnell reveals for the first time what she and their three kids went through after Hoffman's untimely passing.
"I was pretty stubborn in my falling apart," the 47-year-old theater director said. "And my kids saw all of it, because they should. What, am I going to hide it from them? I don't want them to hide it from me. And, even as the artistic director, there were times when I was like, ?I can't do this right now, and I'm not going to pretend I can.'"
After Hoffman died, Hoffman took time off to mourn the 46-year-old actor's death with her family. O'Donnell says it was last summer's Sydney Theater Company production of The Maids at City Center starring Cate Blanchett that helped her feel semi-normal again.??
