Mischa Barton Claims She Was Drugged Following Hospitalisation After ‘Breakdown’

Needless to say, it’s been a pretty difficult week for Mischa Barton.

Just a few days ago, the former ‘O.C.’ actress was admitted to hospital following a display of erratic behavior at her home in Hollywood.

After sparking concern from fans, the actress has now released a statement confirming that she’s no longer under medical care, as well as claiming that she had been drugged on her birthday:

“On the evening of the 25th, I went out with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. While having drinks, I realized that something was not right as my behavior was becoming erratic and continued to intensify over the next several hours.”

"I voluntarily went to get professional help, and I was informed by their staff that I had been given GHB. After an overnight stay, I am home and doing well.”

GHB gained notoriety in recent years after it became known as the 'date rape drug’ – causing those who’d been given it to behave more erratically and then not remembering their actions.

Sgt. Enrique Manduga of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Mischa’s hospitalisation yesterday when emergency responders found Barton at a West Hollywood apartment following complaints from neighbours.

She was allegedly shouting that her mother was a witch.

As confirmed in her statement, she cooperated with the medical teams and was voluntarily taken to hospital for an evaluation.

We hope she’s on the mend now :)
