Depression Not Drugs For Drunkst
Filed under: Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst has revealed that she received treatment for depression, not drug or alcohol abuse, at Cirque Lodge in Utah last year.
Or so she'd like us to believe!
Dunst said, "There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family. Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something."
Kiki says mental illness doesn’t know any boundaries — Hollywood stars, your non-Hollywood next door neighbor — it hits everyone, “We’re all in the same boat together. Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.”
We're glad that she got the help she needed, whatever it was for.
And we hope she's not lying about why she went into rehab!

i love kirsten! i hope she feels better soon!
1st
First?
seriously people wouldnt have to defend if you werent doing anything wrong
honestly if u didnt do shit you'd just be like w.e but no u obviously did somthing
and made a big deal about it when it went public
welcome to hollywood bitch
SHE IS STILL FUG ANYWAYZ
19 th?
Wouldn't she have to go to the mental hospital if her depression was that bad?
I just have to say its sad that there is speculation for why she sought help for MEDICAL reasons (alcoholism and depression are both diseases and shouldn't be joked about). Who cares if she is lying, the fact is she probably is telling the truth in order to defend herself. Just because they are in Hollywood doesn't mean it's fair that they pay the price of scrutiny and living in a fish bowl. It seems because they have an ounce of fame they are no longer afforded the luxury of PRIVACY or being HUMAN, for that matter. This will be my last visit to this intrusive site (not that it matters) and I hope others see the waste of money, time and energy this site encompasses. On another note, Perez's fame is ridiculous. Because hes a bitchy homosexual with a big mouth does not equate to talent nor does it deserve any respect. You're just as bad as those you bash on this site. You are a hypocrite and making a living off of the fallen fruit of Hollywood. Good Riddance. FYI: Before judging another regardless of there status, perhaps Perez and everyone else should take a good long look in the mirror.
what a puta
white power
bitch…
I totally agree- and empathize
Yeah and I go to the gym for fast food! Fucking ugly and stupid skank!
i think she tell the truth
first!!! leave her alone perez,, she rocks!!! you suck!!1
Be nice to Kirstin! I was so surprised when I first heard she was going to rehab and now it makes more sense. I applaud her bravery
1st
poor thing
don't be such a dick to her all the time. i dont know why u hate her
who cares???
You hope she isn't lying about this? Why would someone lie about having a serious illness such as depression? You need to rethink some of your commentary. Sad, sad, sad….
No wonder people don't want to come out and talk about mental health issues.
Well It`s Good That She Was Strong Enough To Realise That She Needed Help, And That Now She Is Better!
aww…
i feel sorry for her.
depression is serious and can lead you to do drugs and binge drinking so i wouldn't jump to conclusions that she is lying. maybe she was just treating the underlying problem!
You've become so judgmental, Perez, it's and it's disappointing. I'm no fan of Dunst, but not every celebrity out there who is in need of some sort help is a drug abuser or alcoholic. I was in a rehabilitation center last year for the exact same reason, depression, and I heard the same crap from people. You should only be wishing Kirsten a speedy recovery and good spirits for the future, not jumping to a conclusions on a matter concerning someone you know nothing about. It's rude, insensitive, and inappropriate on all levels.
Re: nonya – good one!!!
I hope she's feeling better, now–
That whore on drugs. Depression my ass.
to everybody that comments below me, you are gay, like perez
She's on drugs, depression my left nut.
BS- drugs and alcohol can make u depressed but they dont have any specific program at the lodge for depression or anxiety just how not to reach for drugs when you are.
God for a hollywood starlet this bitch has bad taste in fashion! FTW!
AHHH….DO YOU SMELL THAT?!???!…..SMELLS LIKE…..B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T KIKI!!!
I dont think she is lying…but depression is often the cause of addictions…so she might not tell the whole truth about this…she might have had problems with some addiction or some kinds of drugs coz she was depressed..and u often treat the addiction by treating the things that where behind it in the first place..
love herrrrr!
Perez, if she was depressed and can admit it, then what's the problem? Not everyone is on drugs. And you should know what depression feels like. No doubt you are in a permanent depression from being fat, ugly, useless, and doing nothing meaningful with your life.
She seems to be ar regular "kid". Go Kiki! I love her! Hope she's ok now… She really doesn't deserve all the hate!
hey depression is horrible Perez!
everyone gets depression…didn't u get it before honey?!
its scary! no…more than scary!
glad she's better!
love ya KD!
P.S. if u ever get it again ur fans will be here for ya perez babY!
Re: jajajinks –
ahhh
Perez, the people who really know about websites know that you fib your audience rankings. FATASS, YOU'RE A PAGE RANK 7. You don't get 4 million visitors a day. NICE TRY. YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURS SOON.
This bitch is a has-been… should have not given herpes to Tobey BITCH!
THIS is why there is such a hard to shake stereotype about mental illness in society Perez. you post "Good Causes" but then you do this…
it completely disintegrates all the "good" you're trying to do.

So why are you picking at her? You shouldn't have been doing it in the first place, and you really shouldn't be doing it now. Pick on that cunt Angelina.
depression is NO JOKE!
perez I'm actually seriously asking you not to make fun of this, because you don't know how many of you FANS your offending, Depresion is really serious and its disgusting how people laugh at mental health like this, You really don't know who could be suffering from it, you would be surprised

You should be wishing her luck, perez I'm so dispointed you can laugh at this, Its really disgusting and offensive. and I would ask you to apolagise to your fans for this
Who cares why she went atleast she went
kiki is the best….my favorite!!! all the other girls in hollywood pale in comparison.
depression is really serious and has killed many, many people not willing to admit that there was a problem to begin with. it's really sad… lay off her perez. why not show a little support for once?
Good for KiKi for being brave enough to speak up (if that's the truth) …
And it is VERY true that depression can lead to substance abuse.
That being said, aren't "depression" or "bipolar disorder" becoming the standard buzzwords for drug abuse with these celebs?
And if they are REALLY suffering from them, why don't they lend their names more often to awareness causes and/or fundraising instead of just claiming such diseases only when it's convenient for them to do so?
Kiki, Owen, Britney - any celeb who claims a mental illness should give the money that they're spending on their coke, heroin, meth, whatever to fund research for mental illness instead and EVERYONE would be a lot better off.
If you have never been through depression, you have no idea how much it messes you up like a drug problem. If you didn't know, you would swear the person had a drug or drinking problem.
Depression is life changing and horrible.
I have walked down the raod of having clouds follow you around every day, and "how can things just be normal for everyone else when i'm crashing and burning"?
Depression sucks and i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I didn't eat drugs to snap out of it because drugs to help with depression only make it worse if you try to stop taking them.
I wish her only the best if it really is depression.
keep the faith girl…it's all you'll really have.
She's pulling a Britney I don't believe this why don't they just come clean?
Lame, lame, LAME Perez……… can't you ever believe something as horrible as depression. That's not something you would wish on your worse enemy.
Why do you always insist its drugs or drink…. depression is a horrible disease.
Please lots of people suffer from depression but they don't go to rehab to seek treatment. She is self medicating herself with drugs and now has to be treated in rehab for the drugs and hopefully therapy for the depression.
Perez, why should you give a shit whether she is lying or not? It's none of your fucking business. It is particularly trashy to fuel rumors through speculation that some of your readers swallow as truth. Let's do th same thing to your mother, or yiour sister, or your daughter, or your promiscuous fucking dog. Asshole.
this goes to perez,
how gracious and mature of you to make fun of someone who suffers from depression. i agree with most of who commented, u are being completely judgmental towards people's problems. were human and last time i checked ur a fat queen bitch who hasnt gotten laid. feel better bring people down perez, u would dick.
Part 1 due to Perez’s comment length restrictions….OK as far as Perez on his GOOD CAUSES. Please, P doesnt give money to any of them he only links to them because supposedly it makes him look good. But does he ever make a commentary on WHY you should give? No. He just links to "a good cause". Yet he slams celebs who actually donate their time to one saying theyve got deep pockets and should give their own money.
As far as Kiki. It takes a LOT to speak out about depression. Ive experienced it myself and many many others have. Its not something we can CHOOSE to have or not have and yes many do try to self-medicate. So what. Does that make them a bad person? HELL NO. It just makes life a hell of a lot tougher and fat, ugly, talentless, douchebags dont have any right to make commentary on other peoples personal private issues.
Perez youre a fucking idiot and everyone is SOOOOOOOOOOO sick of your misguided opinions and high school gossip. You're not 16 Perez grow up. How would you like it if I ran a website based on your obvious insecurities which are so evident by you making fun of others FAR MORE accomplished than yourself? How about if I posted daily pics of you getting fatter and fatter and fatter and poke fun at your obvious eating disorder and obsession with food? And about the massive void in your life you are trying to fill with cheetos? And cake, and chorizo, and pinkberry, and…and…and
Part 2 due to Perez’s comment length restrictions…You making fun of all these people only shows how deeply insecure you are. They need to look bad to make you look better. You define yourself by constant self-praise and "who" your are hanging out with, or should I say met ONCE at an event that no one spoke to you at.
Lets see your cottage cheese thighs on a beach.
You poke fun at Victoria Beckhams line for tanking, and for a lot of actors/actresses taking on designer roles then YOU DO THE EXACT SAME SHIT! I cant wait to see your sales figures. Im sure TMZ will have a field day with your failure. And the hilarious part is that you are constantly making fun of Pete Wentz and Avril for dressing like they shop at Hot Topic then you suddenly quiet down on that when they let you have one. Which is absolute shit. You aren't at Kitson my friend so shut the fuck up.
I can just say I loved the ONE time you appeared on TMZ. It was a pic of you on the paddleboat and I think the headline was something about you being a complete fat fuck.
Enjoy minute 14 Perez.
I feel for her, depression can make you physically sick. I was under stress and feeling down and i would get lightheaded/dizzy/ and couldn't sleep.
I hate how people think it just people feeling sorry for themselves.
It can effect anyone and I wish her well.
Perez, STFU.
Depression is the leading cause of suicide - someone dies every 16 minutes from an attempt. Some of the most prolific contributors in Hollywood died via suicide. Who knows what would have happened if someone had paid attention.
www.afsp.org . maybe you can even make it one of your do-good daily posts…..

Is it just me or has Perez turned into a mean little bitch lately. Give this girl a break. Just because you got the story wrong….
Depression is a very traumatic thing to go through, I have been there myself, and was also hospitalized. I had never been depressed (other than the blue's, there IS a difference), until last year, had a breakdown and spent a week in the hospital. My life is normal, low stress, and Kirsten is right, it can effect anyone and it is brutal.
I wish her well, have always been a fan.
I went to Cirque for depression, and then to another rehab for the same. Rehabs, unlike psych wards, don't treat you like you're crazy so it's a very effective place to go. Common misconception.
YAY Kiki!!!!!!!!! Looking good as usual, too. I'm very happy to her on the mend. She is a truly talented actress and not one of the usual mopes that are usually followed by paparazzi. I can only wish her the best.
Re: Kel – Great comment Kel. Let's see if this douchebag actually posts this as a "worthwhile cause".
Doubt it.
Mean spirited and cruel.
You should issue an apology.
Your officially an idiot
Okay got that out of my system. I wrote a response and it never got posted!!!
I can't even remember what the freak I said. But it was good b/c I was heated and now it's cooled off b/c I've already gotten it out of my system.
Thanks a fucking lot for ruining everything!!!
But what the gyst of what I said was that Why would you think someone would cover up drugs and alcohol by saying they are depressed?
Mental illness has far wider stigmatization. In this day and age of drugs and rock and roll it's probably cooler to say you went to rehab for that than depression!!
Get a grip perez.
I meant to say - I'm glad to SEE she's on the mend.
~Oh fuck off Perez…
