Macaulay Culkin: $6k-a-month heroine addiction denied by rep
Actor Macaulay Culkin's rep has hit back at claims that the former child actor is dying from a heroin addiction, describing the stories as "destructive and insulting".
Recently, The National Enquirer reported that, Culkin has a $6,000-a-month habit and has turned his Manhattan home into a 'drug den'.
This article, under the headline 'Six Months To Live', alleged that he is addicted to heroin and painkiller oxycodone, dubbed hillbilly heroin.
The publicist of Culkin, Michelle Bega, told TMZ that the story is "not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious".
The publicist also added: "We beseech the responsible media to consider the source and its reputation and to please not perpetuate this destructive and insulting story by pursuing it any further."
The 'Home Alone' star's spokesperson was previously forced to deny reports of his ill health in February after pictures of the 31-year-old looking dishevelled with a can of Red Bull in his hand began circulating online.
