Tatum O’ Neal Barks Up the Wrong Tree!
Child Star Tatum O’ Neal is blaming the loss of her dog as the reason for driving her to Cocaine. After being caught buying the dope by police, Tatum first tried the “doing research for a film” excuse, but now the Paper Moon actress’s dog alibi is even more paper-thin.
Calling the mutt the “fabric” of her family, Tatum says she was too devastated after putting the old, cancerous dog down.
“I couldn’t get out of it. I was going to my psychiatrist. I was doing everything I could do. I have the disease of alcoholism. It’s lifelong. I treat it every day by going to my 12-step program.”
She insists that she is still clean and that the drug bust was a close call.
adding, “I’m still sober! Just when I was about to change that and wreck my life, . . . I was saved by the bell!”
Now there’s and excuse that finally makes sense! Film research and the death of a dog are flimsy stories; but being rescued by a Saturday morning teen sitcom,- that I can believe in! See you in detention rehab!
