Being famous doesn't automatically drive you to have destructive tendencies... that's more on the person himself.
Some people appear to be very social and welcoming of the popularity but it still hurts them. Chris Farley was an example of this. In part what drove him to depression and drugs was the fame. He hated being the fat guy on SNL rather than being known for actual comedy; yet he made that sacrifice for fame. And it arguably drove him to depression and eventually a fatal overdose.
