Kirsten Dunst talks rehab
May 28th 2008 00:03
Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst has broken her silence on her recent stint in rehab, saying that she was seeking help for depression, not drug or alcohol abuse. In February she entered the Cirque Lodge Treatment Centre in Utah - the same facility where Eva Mendes and Lindsay Lohan have been treated.
The 26-year-old said that her family and friends urged her to make the decision to enter rehab. "I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," she said. "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too."
Upon her entering the treatment facility, another friend told People magazine, "She's been crying a lot lately. Everybody hits that bottom where you feel so scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up. It's good she's getting herself help."
When asked why she was breaking her silence on her personal struggles now, Dunst responded, "Now that I'm feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something... Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about."
