Mischa Barton Maxes Out, Seeks Medical Help
Skinny vs. bloated. Off the radar vs. all over the news (for all the wrong reasons).
The 23-year-old actress, who has attracted more attention in recent years for her yo-yoing weight and propensity to party than her TV and film roles, missed the premiere of her latest movie after being removed from her home by the Los Angeles Police Department Wednesday.
An LAPD spokeswoman confirmed to ABC News that officers responded to a call at Barton’s home to assist her with a “medical issue.”
While Access Hollywood reported that police placed Barton under an involuntary, 72-hour psychiatric hold (also known as a 5150, the same code used to commit Britney Spears twice in L.A. in 2008), the LAPD would not elaborate on the nature of their role in assisting her or her current health status.
