Liza Minnelli
Just recently, PEOPLE confirmed that Liza Minnelli has been admitted into a treatment facility due to abuse of substance.
“The 69 year old actress was check into an unnamed facility” stated Scott Gorenstein who represented Minnelli. Gorenstein went on to say that she might be released soon since she’s doing quite well.
It’s no longer news that she has been facing substance abuse over the years and has been on the look out for treatment. If you recall well, Minnelli was treated for alcohol and drug addiction in 1984 after her mother’s death- Judy Garland who also overdosed on sleeping pills in 1969. A lifelong friend of Minnelli who grew up with her in Beverly hills went on to say that “Minneli is kinda living her mother’s career all over again- as a big star in show business, doing well in movies, absurd marriages, engaging in the use of pills and booze”.
Her divorce in 2002 from her fourth husband (producer-promoter David Gest) was also reportedly said to have been partly due to the abusive usage of alcohol. This was revealed by court papers and in a 14 page complaint filled document by Gest who claimed alcohol, abusive incidents that took place during their 1year and 4 months marriage.
