This is an actress I love. I was sorry to hear she had a drug adiction and was in rehab, but glad she sought help. I came across this article and wanted to share it with you. Let's wish her luck and keep her in our prayers.
Eva Mendes is more than willing to chat about her recent rehab stint and abuse issues, but don't joke around about it.
Mendes' cover story with Interview magazine turned south quickly when reporter David Colman seemed to poke fun at celebrities and how frequently they go to rehab. With questions like "Now let's talk about substance abuse. My favorite topic," and "They're going to have to change the name of it to 'Alcoholics Unanimous,'" it didn't take long for Mendes to get defensive.
"I'm not making jokes, because people die from this stuff. So, honestly, I think it's a bit tacky that you made a joke. I've got to be honest," the 'Hitch' starlet said, taking offense at Colman's tone.
His response? "You're angry."
Mendes shot back, saying: "I'm not angry. People have died, and I've lost friends too--even recently. So I can be a little sensitive on the subject."
Colman saves the interview from complete derailment by saying he hasn't drank in 11 years, and that he was "just trying to be light-hearted about it, because it's an awkward topic."
Mendes goes on, saying that there "are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge," saying that the celebrity-obsessed culture has very little fact involved nowadays. Mendes said in a way, the lies are a good thing, because "when it's true, that's when I'd be like, 'Oh, my God!' It's time to rethink who's in your circle, because stuff got out."
