Mischa Barton is revealing that after her arrest for DUI she secretly checked in to rehab according to
WSYR.
“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. So I did it in the most low-key way possible – I didn’t make a fuss about it and I didn’t tell a lot of my friends. I just did the program and got through it.”
And she’s still angry with herself for driving while over the limit.
She adds, “The thing is, I hate drunk drivers. Living in L.A., I can’t stand them, and that’s why I was so disappointed in myself. It’s so not worth it when you put other lives at risk.”
I wish more celebs who need to go to rehab could get the help they need secretly like her. I just wish she didn’t come off as she only did it to get the charges lowered.
