From the moment Paula Yates draped her legs over Michael Hutchence’s lap during a flirty television interview in 1994, the chemistry between them was palpable.
INXS frontman Hutchence, who was still in a relationship with model Helena Christensen at the time, and music journalist Yates, who was married to Sir Bob Geldof, soon struck up a relationship – becoming, to this day, one of music’s most iconic couples.

They went on to have a child together; Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence, or Tiger Lily as she is most commonly known, who was raised by Yates' ex-husband Sir Bob Geldof after the death of both of her parents.
Yates was found dead in her London home at 41, just three years after Hutchence died in 2000, following an accidental heroin overdose.

Paula had borderline personality disorder....that explains a few things, that's for sure. Untreated, sufferers can put family members through absolute hell.
“She [Paula] could not face the fact that she wasn’t enough [for Michael],” Tina told the publication. “He didn’t want to live for her. She just couldn’t handle it that he’d leave her.”
What a disturbing and deleterious viewpoint on the drivers of depression and suicide. I suspect that there wasn't much love lost between Paula and Tina.
Not really surprising and perhaps quite accurate if you believe the accounts that Yates had borderline personality disorder. Intense attachment issues and a fear of being left or rejected are often cardinal to the disorder.
