Brett Butler of 'Grace Under Fire' explains why she's broke

Former "Grace Under Fire" star Brett Butler has fallen on hard times.

She was recently the subject of a GoFundMe fundraiser started by a friend -- despite having made $250,000 an episode for her 1990s hit ABC comedy series. Butler told The Hollywood Reporter she was six months behind on her rent and worried that she may have waited too long to allow her friend to launch the GoFundMe.
