Debbie Gibson Struggled With Money
According to People, Debbie Gibson and her mom, Diane Gibson, did their best to keep her working. Unfortunately, it didn’t always go their way.
“So, spending money I didn’t have, I put a down payment on a rustic, two-bedroom, ivy-covered house on Forest Knoll Drive, off Sunset Plaza Drive, and now I had a mortgage. I’m not a big fan of mortgages: Don’t pay the note and see who owns your home. I had bought my two New York apartments outright, but this time around, my financial advisors encouraged me to take a loan, and, impressionable during a confusing period, I was swayed,” Debbie wrote.
Debbie Gibson explained she received support from someone who might surprise you.
“I’ll never forget the day when Lance Bass’s assistant delivered five thousand dollars cash in a brown paper bag, a loan from a true friend who knew I needed some support and has since never made me feel less than,” Debbie wrote.
Today, Debbie Gibson and Lance Bass remain friends, and she’s a very busy person. She performs live and travels the country to play for her beloved fans. Her music speaks to their hearts, and Debbie is very thankful to have them.
