Troubled Tatum O'Neal put on a happy face all through her court date Monday for her recent drug arrest, trying to keep the mood light by cracking jokes with court officers at Manhattan Criminal Court. When faced with reporters just outside who questioned the actress whether or not she purchased cocaine and crack, she quietly answered, "No."
Disheveled, yet smiling, O'Neal left with her boyfriend, architect Ron Castellano. Even though the two are on a "break" in their relationship, he was the person who showed up to take Tatum home.
Most recently, Tatum struggled to cope with the death of her family pet, Lena, a Scottish terrier. Three weeks ago, O'Neal said of her dog, "She was the fabric of our family. We had to let her go to heaven. My daughter and I had to put her down. It was too horrible for words."
As for Tatum's plan to regain her sobriety, law enforcement officials said, "She's going to go to her own, high-priced, out-of-the-spotlight rehab to get clean -- again." Then I guess that means she won't be showing up on my shameful, addiction: Celebrity Rehab.

Yeah, you know, when I first read it and her comments about "I'm doing it for a role, and "can we forget about this", I was just horrified and humiliated for her. I can't imagine that world she grew up in--without choice. And as an adult she obviously can't handle the pressure.
One of the worst things for her must be her dipsh*t ex cackling in the background over her most recent misfortune. It must take every ounce of her willpower not to beat him to a pulp with her bare hands. He is such an arrogant a**.
