Mischa Barton's bad luck continues, she was killed off The O.C. for reportedly being too hard to work with, now her boyfriend has left her.
This run-on sentence contains two comma splices. Three independent clauses are separated by two commas. A comma cannot separate independent clauses in a sentence. Only a semicolon or a conjunction can separate independent clauses in a sentence.
One way of correcting this error is to isolate one of the clauses as its own sentence and join the two remaining clauses properly.
