Mindy McCready Gets Committed To A Treatment Facility

The "personal life" section of Mindy McCready's Wikipedia page reads like the plots of ten Lifetime movies. If you took the most fucked up parts of Britney Spears' breakdown and the most fucked up parts of Lindsay Lohan's life and mashed them together, you'd have Mindy McCready's life. Mindy's ex-boyfriend tried to choke her to death, she's tried to kill herself several times (including once when she was pregnant), she's overdosed at least three times that we know of, she's been on Celebrity Rehab, she kidnapped her son during a custody battle and the father of her second child died of a gunshot wound last month. Mindy says that her boyfriend David Wilson shot himself, but there's a rumor that the police aren't sure and are investing her over his death. Mindy denied that she killed him and here we are now...

E! News says that Mindy's family went to court yesterday and asked a judge to commit her to a treatment facility for alcohol abuse and mental health issues. The judge did commit Mindy for 21 days and the Department of Human Services took her two young sons, 6-year-old Zander and 9-month-old Zayne, out of her home in Arkansas. During the hearing, Mindy admitted that she dealt with David's death by drowning her sorrows in the sweet nectar a little too much. A source told E!, "Mindy needs to get help and we all care and love her and we want her to get the right help so she can move on."

On Monday, I cursed out Time Warner, cursed out my Tivo and cursed my life when RuPaul's Drag Race didn't record, but I need to stop. It could always be a billion times worse. I could have Mindy McCready's life. Mindy McCready used to sing country songs (I think) and now she is the most depressing country song ever. Dean Cain, stop what you're doing, grab your Wilson's leather jacket and your black turtleneck and come and get Mindy!

This makes me so sad. Mindy's songs were the soundtrack of my high school and college life. I hope she finds some peace in her life.

No one " attempts" suicide this many times without succeeding. If you really want to kill yourself it can't be that hard. I have a cousin like this. It's so tiring. They don't want help- just attention. Her children and family would be better off if she died and gave them some peace.

Just so you know, those who have unsuccessful suicide attempts are statistically likely to eventually get it right. A little bit of compassion costs you nothing btw.

I really feel for her. She's had some super fucked up shit happen to her in her life, and it just seems to keep getting worse.

Police Investigating 101 would dictate the police should have tested her hands for gun powder residue. Hopefully they were smart enough to do that when they arrived at the scene. Follow the gun powder residue.....

What's more sad than the fact that 10,000 animals got euthanized today? The fact that because of the ignorance of humans, it will happen again tomorrow. End the cycle. Spay and neuter your pets & please adopt your next pet from a shelter.

...because as we all know someone with a batshit gf would most certainly want to leave his 9 month old in her care as he takes himself off the planet.

I used to feel sorry for Mindy but this is just too much.

"I just finished reading Augusten Burroughs "Dry"."
That book actually made me cry at one point. (You probably know what I mean, the part where he gets the present-don't want to spoil it for anyone else)

Not an Augustin Bourroughs fan, but "Dry" is his best book.

I hope things get better for Mindy. I loved her music when i was a sad rural teenager in the 90s.

Dean Cain gay?? Noooooo! Didn't Brooke Shields lose her virginity to him while they attended Princeton?

As for this cuntry-fried mess, I blame it all on that steroid-shooting, head-hunting, lying sack of human excrement known as Roger Clemens.

jelliebean's picture

I just finished reading Augusten Burroughs "Dry" about his time in rehab and his getting sober. I loved it. I agree Mindy needs long term mental health and alcohol treatment. Ever since this epic film

I will always be a little freaked out by Dean.
That's okay, I love freaks.

Why are screwed crazoids like this always so fertile? Attempting suicide when youre pregnant? I cant have kids at all thank to not just 1 but 2 autoimmune diseases? Yet the Lawd or Buddha or fate or karma or whatever gives this narcississt kids? Somebody give me a religious statue so I can kick it against my wall. And no I aint got NO sympathy for this twat--once you have kids u need to get off the drugs and the booze and grow your ass up!

If you can't stay sober, you can't make headway in your psychological treatment." In total agreement. She sounds like a lot of people I know/work with where I can't even figure out if the booze and pills cause the problems or are a result of some severe abuse/biochemical disorder. Chicken or the egg?
ITA also with those questioning why anyone would go on Celebrity Rehab. Dr. Pinsky's a bigger fame-whore than the Kardassians. Are the celbrities paid to appear? (I've never seen the show but I used to listen to his old radio show way back when)

Confession: I totally bought the misunderstood and mistreated. She was out of money and was trying to get her life together.. So someone offered her a place to stay. Stay she did until hauled out by police escort from her hosts home. She's scary.
________________________________________________

...yes I remember that...she moved in with another chick from the show...former beauty queen or something...really scary girl who got the Celeb Rehab nurse fired...

...anyway, it was that girl who ended up having pics of some boring 3s*me with Rebecca whats-her-name and that dude from Grey's anatomy released to the media...

...and from what I gathered it looked awfully spishus that her houseguest Ms. McCready was the one who leaked the photos...

I'm not all that familiar with this cunt's music, but I have heard about her shenanigans, and I have not an ounce of sympathy for her, whenever I saw how everyone kissed her ass on Celebrity Rehab and how they made her out to be just so sweet and the next mother Theresa of the show, it rubbed me the wrong way, especially after I read up about all the shit she pulled even at THAT POINT, she's a con.
And what's with the Z names? I swear I know a bitch who's sister has 3 kids and all of their names start with a Z. And they are the most Obnoxious madeup names ever, it's like she took a normal name and threw a Z in to make it sound unique.

I'd have no freaking idea who she was if it weren't for these lurid stories. FUBAR

I saw her on Celebrity Rehab too (joke of a show) and her siezure was scary as hell.

If she's this bad and her family is able to have a judge send her to rehab, was she able to stay sober during her pregnancy? Doubtful.

I just don't see her as the type of personality that murders. She seems like she takes it out on herself. But if she did indeed kill her boyfriend, well then she needs to spend the rest of her life at McPherson.

This is so sad. I saw her on Celebrity Rehab and she seemed like a nice person. Her seizure on that show was horrifying. I hope she is able to recover and move forward with her life.

So, it's rare, but I have no snark for this one.

She had some impressive seizures on CR. Dean Cain may look nice, but I don't think he was/is a particularly nice boyfriend. Her poor kids. Hot mess is all they will know.

Celebrity Rehab on TV is a fucking joke. No one who is serious about getting sober would go on that stupid show. I think this chick shot that dude or had something to do with his getting shot.

Now is the time. You're not promised tomorrow. -PR

crazyinjapan's picture

I saw her on Celebrity Rehab, and she seemed very sweet, empathetic, and sad. Rehab on TV is just fucking ridiculous. I hope that she gets real help this time and gets better. I think this one, like many, needs a two-pronged approach--treatment for mental illness at the same time as treatment for substance abuse. If you are completely fucking miserable, it's very hard to stay sober. If you can't stay sober, you can't make headway in your psychological treatment.

NOT IMPRESSED's picture

LMAO @ the Dean Cain photo.

Seriously, though. I'm surprised she's still alive. Her drama does make Lohan's shit seem somewhat tame by comparison.
