"At 14, I became the support of my family. Everything was about Keisha – it took me a long time to realize that I had my own problems, "she said in 2012.
It was really difficult for [my parents] understand. Why did I have this life seemingly charmed while they were all at home without knowing if there was enough money for dinner? It completely tore up my family.
In 2010, Keisha told the weekly New Zealand weekly Woman's Weekly that she had stopped drinking after imagining herself leaving a support meeting for alcoholics.
Maternity: Three years after being nominated for an Oscar, Keisha is pregnant with her first child, just 16 years old. Felicity, her daughter (left) is now 11 years old and lives with her father.
"All my dirty laundry has now been released and I am free to continue my life," she said at the time, adding that the publication of the photos was "a huge blow" but also "very liberating" .
In 2011, it was reported that Keisha was involved in a "bar fight" at an Auckland nightclub after a customer acknowledged her and made a "derogatory" remark.
She then claimed that she was not drinking at night.
The family first: "She's like an ordinary 11-year-old girl, which a parent can hope for," Keisha said.
