Unfortunately, actress Kirsten Dunst’s visit to rehab didn’t help. She went because of her addiction to alcohol, but after being released and celebrating her birthday she got drunk again and friends and family are worried about her. "She got worse as the night went on. She started out pretty chilled, but hours later she was dancing and jumping like a crazed animal... She indulged in any guy who would have her attention. She also went up to several guys and started flirting with them hard-core…She was just completely out of it. It was obvious that whatever happened in rehab didn't stick."

I didn't even know she had a problem with alcohol. It seems like the more I read the news I find someone else addicted to something. It seems like addiction is taking over the world, and we are struggling to fight in this war.

I just read an article saying that she went to that facility because of a depression problem, not alcohol or drugs. “It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too.  But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”


She adds, “There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family. Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something.”

Celebrities are just like everyone else, we're all in the same boat.  I'm glad she made the decision to go.  I hope she gets well, I love her movies!
