Like everyone else I'm on the outside looking in and don't claim to know, but it certainly appears that he's around the bend and spinning out of control, and possibly there already - just hasn't completely snapped yet. Those Hollywood people - they have talent, money, privelege, sometimes they have looks, and it all does many of them in. The privelege part, I think, is what tips the scales, too much of it over time, too many people stroking you and using you, and if you don't have the character to handle it all that stuff can't and won't make you happy.
My prediction : in the near future he'll go into rehab. He knows his image is damaged almost beyond repair, and he'll have to humble himself and that's where to begin. He'll come out and make a big deal of having faced hell and coming out the other side, find someone to hire him and behave impeccably. And he;ll talk about it, ofetn and loudly, reminding everyone how humbled he is. Or, less cynically, maybe he'll reach his personal rock bottom and want to save himself, for himself and those he loves and he'll go into rehab. Whatever his motive for seeking recovery and doing the amends thing, actually living a spiritual life is a whole lot different from talking about it. I do predict that rehab is in his near future, though......
As for her - again, I don't know if she's a golddigger or someone who got into a real bad and dysfunctional relationship and is scared shitless of him and knows him well enough to be scared shitless of him. If it's the latter, why shouldn't she tape him if he's acting like a lunatic? If someone you cared about was in that position wouldn't you encourage her to use every resource, every weapon she can to fight back? And it may not be her who released the tapes - if there's a buck to be made from stuff like that it'll get out somehow. He has himself to blame for his actions, not the person who taped him in the midst of his actions.....
