 Kirsten Dunst: Says, "Rehab was for depression, not for drugs"
Kirsten Dunst, who acted in "Spider-Man", said that she was in rehab earlier this year because she was suffering from depression, not battling drugs or alcohol.
In an interview, the 26 year old actress said that she went to the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah after months of feeling depression.
Kirsten Dunst said, "I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too".
Dunst said that she has decided to go public with her depression to highlight the struggle faced by so many other successful woman and also to dispel rumors of chronic drug and alcohol abuse.
Kirsten Dunst told in the interview, "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".
She surged to fame as a child actress in films such as "Interview With the Vampire," and recently played the title role in director Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette".
Kirsten Dunst is currently shooting her new film "All Good Things" with Ryan Gosling in New York. |
