Country Singer Mindy McCready Enters Rehab
Wednesday July 23, 2008
Wednesday July 23, 2008
Country singer Mindy McCready has entered rehab following an emergency visit to a Nashville, Tennessee hospital, her rep confirmed to Usmagazine.com Wednesday.
"Mindy McCready did receive emergency care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center," her rep said. "Other issues made it prudent for her to seek longer term and broader based treatment."
"To her credit, she has entered into an extended care facility where she will receive the care needed and for the moment we ask that everyone respect her privacy," the rep added.
The New York Daily News reported Wednesday that she suffered a nervous breakdown.
Citing sources close to McCready, the paper claimed her longtime on-again/off-again romance with former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens took a toll on the singer. The pair became involved in 1991 when McCready was 15-years-old.
"She's at the end of her rope," a source told the Daily News.

TMZ.com reported Wednesday that McCready had entered an Arizona rehab facility after mixing vodka and Ambien in an alleged suicide attempt.
McCready has a 2004 drug conviction and lost custody of her 2-year-old son Zander with country singer Billy McKnight.
McCready was scheduled to release an album later this year. In a recent YouTube video, she told fans, "I miss you so much and can't wait to see you."

Wow, I guess Roger Clemens is an even bigger scumbag than I previously thought he was. I hope this girl gets her head straight and learns to tame, and eventually conquer, her MAJOR self-destructive tendencies. I certainly wish her well.

Do any of you passing judgement on Mindy even know what she's been through? She was in a very abusive relationship which, I can only imagine, takes a huge tole on ones self esteem. Thank goodness she's getting help. Let's remember that not one of us are perfect, celebrities just happen to have their tough times spread thru the media. Yes, she has had a few hit songs, but if you are not a country music fan, you probably would not know that.

Roger Clemens took advantage of a teenager who was desperately seeking attention from an older man. She's responsible for her own problems, but let's just say he helped her along.

What is she famous for? I have never heard her songs on the radio. The so-called media just have to mention her whenever shs has a problem. Do they think she represent current country music artists?

You would think that once she had a child of her own she would be over this period. She has already been to jail and now this.....

How sad. A once rising star hitting rock bottom once again. Hopefully she will remain sober once and for all after this stint in rehab. Best wishes to her and her family.
