Mischa Barton learned the hard way last weekend that booze and pills don’t mix.
Attending a barbecue at her friend Masha Gordon’s L.A. home May 27, Mischa Barton suddenly fell ill after mixing antibiotics and a “s—tload” of alcohol, says a source close to the star.
Blogger Perez Hilton reported that recreational drugs may have been involved (the actress was photographed smoking what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette on May 20 in Cannes, France), but the source insists there was nothing “truly toxic” in her system.
But a party guest tells Us that Barton’s sickness was no less dramatic.
“Her face turned completely white, and she spent over 30 minutes in the bathroom,” says a party guest. “It was really scary.”
Things got so bad that the former O.C. star, 21, was rushed by ambulance to Sherman Oaks Hospital, where her family – including younger sister Hania, 19 – was waiting.
