The O.C. star Mischa Barton is reportedly recovering from a mental breakdown after being hospitalized. We hope the troubled actress who has been battling substance abuse problems is able to make a full recovery. Mischa was arrested in 2007 on suspicion of a DUI, possession of marijuana and a controlled substance. Her friends told the New York Post that Mischa’s excessive partying and drug binges have made her a hot mess. The production start date CW series the “Beautiful Life” has been pushed back a week, however, the network claims the delay has nothing to do with Mishca Barton’s condition.
A pal tells the publication, “She’s in very bad shape. She’s running out of money and can’t find love, so now she is looking for a good time to escape her misery. She is on a downward spiral. She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess.”[source]
This week Mischa Barton was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center under an involuntary psychiatric hold (also known as a 5150) by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Shades of Britney Spears’ famous freakout.
But Mischa’s beginning was so full of promise. How did a young, beautiful and talented actress end up like this?
Rumors have been circulating for over a year about Mischa’s reported increased drug and alcohol consumption, bad habits, heavy smoking, late nights hanging out with musicians and stumbling out of London and LA clubs.
Her weight — a startling gain and a sudden loss — raised eyebrows and made headlines. Then there was that embarrassing paparazzi shot of her horribly dimpled thighs while she wore a bikini. Ouch.
Back in May 2007, we got the first clue about her hard-partying ways when she was rushed to the hospital from a Malibu beach party, reportedly for a reaction to cold medicine. Later that year, she was arrested for a DUI and pot possession and received a fine and three years of unsupervised parole.
Barton later admitted she quietly sneaked away to a rehab to get a softer sentence.
She recently told Marie Claire’s British edition: “I wanted to prove to the court that I would take it completely seriously, so I went to rehab to prove I was sober. It really helped in getting the more serious aspects of my case dropped because, you know, that’s what they want to hear; you’re not an alcoholic and you don’t have a problem…. I just did the program and got through it.”[source]
