Chynna Phillips Is Anxious

Chynna Phillips, one third of Wilson Phillips and Billy Baldwin's wife, checked herself into rehab over the weekend for anxiety. Chynna's manager is Lizzie Grubman so she could've taken a page out of her book and drove her SUV into a crowd of hos to deal with her anxiety, but she decided to get some help instead. Lizzie issued this statement (which smells like burnt skin and yellow nails):

"After much thoughtful deliberation Chynna Phillips has checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility for anxiety. With the full support of her family and friends, she is looking forward to her recovery. We ask that people respect her and her family's privacy at this time."

This isn't all that surprising because when I first read about Chynna's father Flowers-in-the-Attic-ing Mackenzie Phillips, I wanted to eat a Xanax. So I'm sure it really fucked with Chynna's nerves. Hoooold on for one more day, Chynna, and get into this:

Okay, I'm upset because I just sat through 4 minutes of that crap thinking it was the video where the 2 skinny WPs get hot guys and someone delivers a dachsund to Carnie to dogsit. One of the funniest videos ever and now i have to go search for that crap.

Unless someone knows off the top of their heads which it is? thanks

I met Chynna Phillips at charity golfing event some years back..very nice lady.

That being said...Chunna can go into "rehab" with Brooke Mueller so they can both get over their anxiety & pneumonia together...

Oy Vey!!!

I LOVE Wilson Phillips and Chynna was always my favorite. Was it mandatory for her to become plain & dumpy after finding God or something? She was once a gorgeous girl.

Well, judging by her eyes in the photo, her anxiety is chemically induced. Rehab is not for anxiety, it is for susbstance abuse/chemical dependency. Psychiatric facilities are for anxiety treatment, usually without accompanying addiction/dependency. What we probably have here is a case of someone self-medicating her anxiety disorder or doing a stimulant to the point of causing an anxiety disorder as a side effect. It is common. Usually when the stimulant is discontinued, the anxiety subsides. Judging by her receding hairline and huge pupils, she's in rehab for substance abuse, plain and simple. Why publicists insist on lying for their clients and think the general public is stupid will never make sense to me. Chyna has a right to privacy and owes no explanation to the public if she doesn't want to address it. It would be better to say nothing at all than to make up a bullshit story.

I read "Flowers in the Attic" when I was a kid and saw the movie and was disappointed. Recently I watched the movie again with my 9 yr old daughter who has seen plenty of horror movies and never been affected by them. THIS movie tho scared the CRAP out of her! A scary grandma is more horrifying than Freddy or Jason! LOL! I enjoyed the movie much more this time too for the look of it - so 80's!

Get better Chynna. At least Chynna believes her sisters accusations unlike her dense mother. Wellness to Chynna AND Mackenzie! Loving "Celebrity Rehab" once again.

I wonder if Lizzie Grubman, PR hack from hell, understands there is a thing called a HIPPA statement. This gal has the god given right to check in for treatment and no one can gain access to her files or know she's even there.

I hate Lizzie Grubaman, she is an embarrassment to not only PR hacks, but NY'ers, women in general..ok..all humans period.

If she ıs so fuckıng anxıous she should have just checked herself ınto rehab wıthout goıng through a publıcıst to announce ıt.
*********************************************************

Rehab for "Anxiety". So, you go to "rehab" and BAM! No more anxiety? Bullshit. If she's in rehab it's for either booze, pills and/or narcotics.

You_Complete_Me.'s picture

Yeah, I smell shit on this one, too. A steaming busload o' shit.

It's either dependency and/or withdrawal issues related to RX psychoactive meds (withdrawal can be far worse than the original condition), or bitch is a raging alkie or coke-/meth-head.

The Wilson Phillips debut album was really good, of course Glen Ballard is to thank for that. Chynna seemed to be having alot of fun and was very friendly and interactive with the audience. I saw them in concert back around 90 or 91 at the "Uncle Sam Jam" concert 4th of July weekend. They performed along with Neneh Cherry, and of course, Milli Vanilli. One of the most memorable concerts I've been to becauuse all the acts were so popular. Even though we all knew Milli Vanilla did not sing. They were also vulgar too and there were alot of kids in the audience.

how stupid. nobody cares about Chyna Phillips. Like if she just went in for anxiaty treatment and her pr person didn't make a statement, no one would know...or care. it's not like she's relevent anymore.

I hit post once and it double posts again. Dammit.

My two year old just trotted up to the screen and said 'Wow! S' cool!' and then walked off. What have i done?

Everyone has anxiety nowadays. How can you NOT? Not sure what they can do for it but throw meds her way.

This is straight up doctor's office music and i love that. And Submitted by ImpertinentVixen on Mon, 02/15/2010 - 6:48pm.- That;s so funny she DID have privacy. She wants to write a book, go on Oprah soon.. and this is the beginning /laying the groundwork for her 'return journey'i suppose. Sigh.

Her hair needs rehab & that egghead needs Rogaine.

Is there anyone in her family who hasn't been to rehab...Phillips meet the O'neals.

"After much thoughtful deliberation, intense abdominal cramping and noxious gases emanating from her ass, Chynna Phillips has locked herself in the restroom to drop an unholy load following a particularly bad serving of Mexican food. With the full support of her family and friends, she is looking forward to intense relief after expelling this most distressing waste from her bowels. We ask that people respect her and her family's privacy during poo time."

LOL! Seriously, I this made me tear up I laughed so hard. Wickedly funny. And yes, it just may get that ridiculous. After all, 10 years ago, had anyone imagined jokers like Sarah Palin and Tila Tequila would be on anyone's radar?

I had a bout with anxiety a few years ago. I would just get nervous out of nowhere and have to sit down. Cold sweats etc... It was stress related. I took some meds for about two months, changed jobs and my man and it went away.

It was scary shit, especially when everything starts going black and you think you're having a heart attack....

Rehabilitation for anxiety? I thought they just gave you anti-anxiety drugs for that? Maybe she doubled up on the drugs and now has an addiction problem. That would explain the need for rehab.

azgirl's picture

My sister in law has anxiety, what a mess that is. She freaks the shit out if she knows company is coming over and we have to give her at least 3 hours notice before we do anything because she can't handle it and needs time to prepare.
She also had to go to the ER because her insomnia meds were messing with her anxiety meds and she had a seizure. Very scary.

Okay, back to snark. 10 bucks says she has a new project out in a few months like a song or book. She has try to get relevant again. Such a shame that she is using a problem so many people suffer from to get into the lime light.

ImpertinentVixen -- hey sweets, what meds are you on for anxiety? I've tried everything and am now doing so-so on a Lexapro/Seroquel combo (have depression, too).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, I've had the D word too. I take generic Paxil CR, and it's like heaven. I tried Prozac but it made me zombified and whacked out. I have two boys on the autism spectrum, and without Paxil I would have long ago jumped in front of a train. I had depression and anxiety before I had the kids, but their problems made it worse. Paxil makes it better, my whole attitude toward life. When they work right, they do wonders. I've also never slept so good.

Keep trying with your meds; you may find the right combo. Until then, there's DLISTED!

thx. that PHOENIX bitch (is, of course, all powerful with that fusion/fission thing going on) has been my fave since i was 8.

Anxiety can be really frickin' scary, and sometimes the meds that are used work well to begin with, then a tolerance is developed. Then you are fucked, because you're hooked on these meds that aren't really helping, but if you go off them, the consequences can be worse than the anxiety you had to start with. Maybe she's detoxing off the anti-anxiety meds?

Agreeing with everyone else here. Why do has-been pseudo-celebs have to use a private matter such as this to get publicity.....then whine about wanting privacy during this "difficult" time? She hasn't been in the limelight for quite some time now; no one would have even known she was in treatment, let alone the CVS Pharmacy down the street, if it weren't for the usual canned statement from the UGLIEST publicist ever put on the Earth. (Sidebar: if you don't know what Lizzie Grubworm looks like, grab a trash can and Google that bitch. You will projectile vomit stuff you ate two weeks ago!)

It's not like the office ho you work with sends out a mass e-mail message that she's off to the free clinic to deal with yet another genital wart. Why do people on the left coast feel this is necessary? Is publicity going to get to THIS point:

"After much thoughtful deliberation, intense abdominal cramping and noxious gases emanating from her ass, Chynna Phillips has locked herself in the restroom to drop an unholy load following a particularly bad serving of Mexican food.

Twat -- yep, it made me MORE depressed, acutely suicidal (I was holding a gun to my head at one point), and according to my boyfriend and daughter, I fell asleep in the middle of sentences. I cried CONSTANTLY. BF marched me back to the doctor after a few weeks to get my ass straightened out, and that's when I learned it had some nasty-ass side effects for some of us crazy folks.

I'm now on a combo of Citalopram & Wellbutrin that seems to be doing the trick.

don't know whether to laugh or cry at Chyna's story though; says something about society.

yea i'd have a major case of anxiety too if i were related to her family

PoodleLover's picture

wait, she couldnt just see her therapist to work thru it, she had to check in to a facility? I aint buying it, she's hanging with Jack Daniels too much

Yes, I think they're spinning this and it's really something else, like she's bipolar, with more of the manic/anxiety side than the depressive one. She could be on her 19th nervous breakdown. BTW, love your avatar! Performance is strange but great.

Back in the day, (1930s-60s), lots of ladies used to check themselves into wealthy people's clinics for a rest cure - Edie Sedgwick (Silver Hill), Margaret Sullavan's kids (Menninger's) and various other people. It was called taking a 'rest cure.' haha!

Which reminds me, one of the best parties I've ever heard of "Bea Stewart's Nervous Breakdown Party," a grand affair celebrating the return of a famous writer's wife from the nuthouse. It's where Carole Lombard got together w/ Clark Gable. She made her entrance via an ambulance and had them put her stretcher down in the middle of the party, with a sheet covering her face. She then popped up and said, "Surprise!" Much to everyone's delight. Ya sure couldn't get away with shit these days. Those must have been fun times.

these statements crack me up...if they hadn't said anything NO ONE would have ever known and she would have had more privacy...is not like she is one of the hottest celebs that paps are constantly following and reporting on anyway. Up until her sister came out with those crazy statements Chyna had pretty much dissapeared from the public's mind.
