My take on what could have happened when Erin OD’ed at Steven Addler’s home, based on what I’ve read so far:

First of all, I read somewhere (really sorry, I don’t remember the source but if I ever come across it again I will include it here) that in the famous interview Erin gave to People’s Magazine there was a BIG misled when they stated that Erin ended up in hospital after a fight with Axl. Actually, People’s Magazine intentionally manipulated the story to make it juicier for readers, implying that Axl’s agression was so severe that Erin ended up hospitalized. There was indeed a fight and Erin ended up hospitalized but NOT because of Axl’s aggression (although, according to Erin in Andy Mccoy’s book, their fight did get physical that day) but she ended up hospitalized because of the OD she had following the fight.That doesn’t excuse Axl’s wrongdoings but I just hate media’s  efforts to make him look worse than he is!

Regarding the OD itself, I believe Andy Mccoys and Angela Nicolletti’s version more than Steven’s.

Addler’s version seems to not be really accurate and it might just be that, because of his drug habits, he’s a bit confused about what happened. I just find that Mccoys’s version makes more sense.

On his book, Steven says that Erin’s OD happened AFTER he was fired from GNR. Andy Mccoy says that his firing actually only happened in the days following Erin’s OD. This makes more sense with the interview that Axl gave to MTV in 1990 when he talks about why Steven was fired.

Also, apparently Angela Nicolletti wasn’t a drug user at all so it’d be weird she would have given heroin to Erin. Actually, Addler’s doesn’t even seem to remembers Angela’s name correctly because on his book he calls her Laura.

The part that disturb me the most is why Erin was found with her pants down. I really hope that Steven didn’t abuse her, although again, if he was indeed drugged up, anything could have happened.
