It feels like centuries ago that Mischa Barton was on top of the TV world as one of the stars of the hit FOX show The O.C. However, since the show’s run ended it’s been a tough run for Barton who hasn’t seemed to land many major roles and is having a difficult time living her life. A few years ago she appeared headed in the right direction but unfortunately it didn’t last long. Everything came to a head when she was spotted screaming that her mother was a witch while standing on the fence of her home.
Neighbors called the police when they saw Barton screaming frantically. Only a day after her 31st birthday she was reportedly wailing about the end of the world, Ziggy Stardust and her mother. Police also said she fell off the fence before paramedics arrived at her West Hollywood home. She is said to have gone voluntarily with the paramedics and has been put under a psychiatric hold. Barton had cooperated and went willingly to the hospital.
This isn’t first time the actress has been hospitalized. Back in 2009 she was placed on a psych hold for threatening to kill herself. At the time she was extremely depressed and said
“It was a full-on breakdown. It was terrifying. I was never suicidal, I was just overworked and depressed. But one slip of the tongue in a heightened moment and you find yourself in that situation.”
In 2007 she was arrested for drunken driving. It appears her issues with her mother have been going on for some time. We obviously wish her well and hope that she comes out of this OK. Remember, she’s only 31 years old so she’s got plenty of time to straighten things out. It’s not easy when you’re thrust into the limelight at such a young age like Barton was with The O.C.
