Common sense and a bit of psychology 101. Most people need fairly large families for real grounded support. Richie doesn't have that. Jon has a large family that helps to keep him grounded as does David and Tico. Richie does not.
Richie is vulnerable because... (IMO) someone like Richie, (could be anyone), but celebs, especially, that do not have that real life grounded support, (someone to tell them to take out the garbage, someone to tell them that the world does not center around them, someone or some people to surround them with grounded love, etc.) look for all of of those things in other places.
It could be gambling, alcohol, drugs, the wrong type of friends, a mis guided religion or cult. They are looking for a place to fit in, a place that accepts them, unconditionally.
A good example is as follows: Young kids that have horrible home lives sometimes drift towards gangs as a way to have a "family".
Richie, as someone else said, *seems*, so desperate for attention. IF he's becoming involved in Scientology, imo, he's substituted the alcohol for that religion or cult. (It's about a way to fill up the hole of loneliness or feeling as if they are not worthy or feeling as if they are not getting enough attention, etc.)
Now, that would be a "personal issue". One that scares me beyond words.
What jessycardy has posted seems to be finally filling in the pieces to the puzzle, at least for me...
JMO for now.
