Former party animal and socialite Kali Bowyer describes her wild ways in the 90s which included a hot affair with racy comedian Chris Rock and long drug binges with film director Spike Lee.
Life was fun… that was before reality started crashing down all around her and she had to deal with the ugly side of addiction. Getting pregnant with Chris’ son saved her life, pulling her out of the party circuit. Little did she know Chris—once a goofy well-meaning guy, would turn in to her biggest enemy who still haunts her to this day…
…………………………………………………………………….
New York, NY , July 25, 2008 Kali Bowyer now resides in a bucolic section of Georgia and every day she is grateful that she is alive. Fifteen years ago she was teetering on the edge of insanity as she slept all day and drugged it up all night with Hollywood’s most promising young talent along with its biggest stars.
It all started in 1991 when Kali headed on her own from her hometown of Laguna Beach to pursue a career in acting. She was fresh off the bus, but she was well aware of all the clichés that went along with being a starry-eyed youth. She thought she could handle the challenges in front of her because she had a hard knock upbringing; being the only daughter of "Rehab Doctor" to the stars. Unfortunately, she was seduced by the glamour of it all.
Kali quickly landed in the right circles, making friends with the Comedy Store club which included Pauly Shore and Jay Leno. Roxbury’s became her home away from home attending some of the most prestigious private parties in town. She clicked well with Chris Rock, who was just making a name for himself. Insecure and immature, Chris was not the power performer he is today. Chris doted on Kali, making her feel like a queen. He introduced her to all his friends, Arsenio Hall, Spike Lee, Madonna and Eddie Murphy.
And that’s when the trouble began.
Drugs were everywhere and Kali didn’t know when to stop the press button. That is until she became pregnant with Chris’ baby. Kali retreated from this reckless lifestyle to bring up her son in a healthy environment. She moved out of the 90210 and tried her best to be a good mother.
Thirteen years later she discovered her son suffered from a rare illness. She reached out to Chris for help in the past. She wanted him to at the very least pay the doctor bills. But she never got Chris on the phone. She could only talk to his lawyers. Bullying, nasty phone calls, doctored paternity tests, stalking and threats followed, sending Kali into a state of panic where she couldn’t sleep for fear of Chris’ poison-tongued thugs.
