Is She Lying???

Filed under: Kirsten Dunst > Z List

wenn5011108.jpg

Kristen Dunst is still speaking up about her time spent in rehab.

The unkempt actress spent some time a few months ago at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center, a Lohan favorite, in Utah.

However, she has adamantly denied it was for drug or alcohol abuse.

Dunst says, "I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself."

Riiiiiight.

According to Star Magazine, though, the Cirque Lodge usually doesn't treat patients suffering from just depression - only if they also have some type of chemical dependency.

A sources says, "They would refer you somewhere else if it's just depression."

Wonder who to believe!

Our bet is that Dunst was probably there for something more than depression.

      Drugs cause depression. Even marijuana does have that affect. And we KNOW she's been smoking pot. Just like Britney did before she want all apeshit. In my opinion people who use drugs deserve all that's coming to them, you're very aware what drugs are capable of doing. You don't deserve any sympathy for being a selfish idiot.

      I can't believe advertisers pay money to be on this site! Who cares what she did or why? Who the hell cares? She's a pretty good actress. Leave it a t that.

      She's got some BIG money and I bet she can get special treatment wherever she goes, so even if they don't USUALLY let people come there for "Only" depression, it could be possible… Why even bother?
      Drug abuse (AND/OR depression), is a serious and personal problem.

      a lot of people with depression problems also have problems with drugs or alcohol. hell, she could have been abusing prescription drugs for the depression as well. honestly i think this is one of those times where you just need to leave the girl alone. isn't it a GOOD thing she's been through rehab and trying to get better from whatever it is that's wrong??

      A LOT of people turn to drugs and alcohol for untreated depression. MANY people who go to rehab come out saying the same thing because they have not yet "become full blown addicts/alcoholics" or they are in denial that they are.

      I apologize to bring up other gossip blogs but another I'll leave nameless pointed out, "You go to the bar when you're depressed and get drunk, and if you're really depressed you're always at the bar which means you're always drunk, and will eventually need rehab. See how that works?" I think that sums it up nicely.

      45

      I don't see why this is so hard to believe. Depression, bipolar disorder, etc, they all carry a stigma STILL. It just seems like when someone in Hollywood had a drug problem, all is forgiven- but when someone has depression they're a nutjob.
      Which is really upsetting, but I would assume she'd know that- and wouldn't make that up. Hell if she wanted to get away from the drug/alcohol abuse rumor- couldn't she get away with the good ol' "exhaustion" excuse? instead of depression? come on now.
      But some people go in for depression and its figured out they drink too much or maybe use drugs beyond casual, controlled use.
      That may have happened too. But she probably did go IN for depression, just my opinion.

    46. CVD says – reply to this


      46

      And it seems like most of your readers agree- you're not really getting it Perez. Have you ever been to a rehab? Have you ever been to an inpatient hospital or even an ourpatient hospital for depression treatment? Ever worked in one? Probably not. You seem so clueless, it's pathetic.

    47. She is says – reply to this


      47

      My son went to a traditional rehab center for his depression. Often times they WILL take depression cases because they work on depression secondary to drug/alchohol/sex/video game addictions. Either way - why crucify the girl - if she has either problem I COMMEND her for recognizing that she needs some assistance and tools to improve her life. I BELIEVE SHE WAS DEPRESSED.

      I used to like you Perez, but posts like this are making your site a lot less interesting. How about you get a life and try to find something interesting to post that isnt a pathetic jab at someone who is trying to get help (and it doesnt matter what she's getting help for).

      61

      Sorry perez, I have to agree with some of the people here. She used to have a career and just went downhill. Everybody has had those moments in their life. Just not a Hollywood one…with money and a movie career. I really like her too, she is I think a good person with crazy small teeth.lol But in all seriousness, she is probably lying because she doesn't think it is right for anyone to know what she went in for. It could have been a combonation of things put together. Plus, I really don't think that a person seeking help from a treatment facility will be turned away just because they don't treat depression there. That's ludacris!!! I don't know about you but I am going to show my support for her because I know what it's like to go through life suffering from whatever aliments…..and got off the pills tooooo quickly and went through a major set back. I am doing much better now then I was doing back then. So please just give her a break. Much love OXOX Lalakitty2ccc

      she was probobly depressed, which is probobly led her to use drugs and alcohol which led to an addiction, before being able to beat those addictions one has to take care of depression first and then everything follows. i cant stand her tho, she annoys me, her and rachel ray.

      Quoted from the Cirque Lodge web site: "Upon arriving at Cirque Lodge, an assessment is completed and based upon the information received an individualized treatment program is developed. Special attention is given to provide the best drug treatment protocol for each resident, including an individualized drug treatment program and dietary considerations. Cirque Lodge also treats co-occurring disorders such as eating disorders or mood disorders. Rooms are assigned depending on each resident's requirements as determined by the staff.

She looks so unhappy. I wish her all the luck in the world. Why do you kick them when they're down, Perez? What has she ever done to you? Why plop scribbles over her face? Are you that insensitive and cold? You really do give me the creeps. How do you sleep at night, brother? You must be one fucked up soul to be going after a struggling woman like Kirsten. Stand up and be an honorable gay man or your turn will come and noone will have a nice word to say about you.

      Cirque Lodge DOES do a treatment programme for depression - I've been on it, twice.

      In this day and age it's actually harder and more embarassing to admit to having depression than to admit to substance abuse. Cut her some slack.

      79

      being alcoholic usually come from depression so it all fits together, she's not lying - her main problem is obviously depression which is probably why she drank her sorrows away at times. So going there would have been to deal with her depression and how 'not to' turn to alcohol

    80. Alisa says – reply to this


      80

      The claim seems fishy to me. If she was only suffering from depression, why not just go to a shrink or hire one to come to her house if she doesn't want to be seen going to their office. It doesn't make sense to go away to a "treatment facility" just for depression. I'm not really buying this story.

    81. cathy says – reply to this


      81

      Most rehab centers have a program for what they call "dual-diagnosis"…aka substance abuse and depression. Most people in the depths of substance abuse are have an underlying depression and many people with depression use substances to self-medicate. She was most likely there for both…and good for her for getting help.

      When Heath Ledger was in London working on the Terry Gilliam Movie and even earlier, there were some pictures of him with Kirsten and another girl, a friend of hers. They were sitting on the grass at a park in the daytime, just hanging out, talking. They were all smiling and looked relaxed, happy and really into their conversation. Kirsten checked into rehab just weeks after Heath died. So did Eva Mendes and a couple of others. Joaquin Phoenix, who was a very close friend of Heath's sort of "disappeared" from public view for a while, too. I think Heath's deaht had one hell of an impact on a lot of people. If so, then at least some small good came from a terrible tragedy.

      My admiration for the person and talent that is Kirsten increases as she faces her demons and gets help and lives to tell about it. Likewise, my opinion of the mysognist that is Perez continues to devolve as he is ingesting his little blip of publicity which evaporates a lot sooner than he thinks right now. All publicity, shine-on-shit.

      And, shame on you for your liberal use of the word "slut" and the distasteful put-downs of Clooney's girlfriend on the split. You create such pain, and love to twist the knife. Your day of betrayal will come.

      Well, while I'm sure Kristen Dunst suffers from more than just depression (coughcoughdrugsalcoholismegoismcoughcough), I'm more inclined to believe her. Since she is a celebrity and therefore could bring this rehab some publicity, they probably made an acception just for her.

      I totally agree with you, #89, Perez glorifies misogyny by calling most females he posts about "sluts", "skanks", and "whores" with no justification, and for no reason, only to pass it off as being witty and funny when it's really just cruel, and redundant. Mario, you consider yourself to be a proud spokesperson for minorities such as the gay and latino community, yet you pick on another long-oppressed group throughout the world- females- which is purely hypocritical. Shame on you. Being a latino woman myself, I would never look up to you as a latino role model because of your blatant hypocrisy and misogyny.

      True, depression is not a joke. But neither is it an addiction. Visit Cirque's website. They are quite clear about the nature of their treatments, which are all explicitely catered towards drug and alcohol addiction.
      I can see how people would think she's lying. And then to use depression as her scapegoat? That's not very PC either.
      Check out the "experimental treatment". I wish I could go fishing, hiking and camping to treat anything!!
      I don't care what you say, depression is treated the old-fashioned way - with drugs, out-patient therapy or in-patient stays at the looney bin.

      Jesus Christ! God forbid she should want a little privacy in dealing with her addiction! I like your website Perez, but so much of the time you are such an insufferable, judgmental little prick! What did this girl ever do to you or anyone else? Why don't you try to develop some compassion? It's funny to make fun of asshole celebrities but everybody has problems and I would think you could show a little sympathy.
