Liza Minnelli may be 69 years old, but that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten how to party. Perhaps a bit too hard, in fact, since she’s checked into rehab this week for substance abuse. She’s apparently responding well to treatment and won’t be there too long, and this isn’t her first time at the rodeo, so to speak, but here we are.
From People:
The actress, 69, has already checked into the facility, the name of which is not being disclosed, says Scott Gorenstein, a spokesperson for Minnelli.
“Considering she’s doing so well, we expect that she’ll be released shortly,” Gorenstein tells PEOPLE of the Cabaret star.
Minnelli has battled substance abuse over the years and has sought out treatment in the past.
Unfortunately, addiction like this is a lifelong battle, but good for her for recognizing she was in trouble again and seeking help for it.
I suppose my only question here is why her spokesperson needed to make a statement on this and why she couldn’t just discretely check into rehab? It’s not like she’s Taylor Swift and is constantly in the public eye, so none of us would have ever been the wiser if no announcement was made.
Somehow I am seeing flashes of Kris Kardashian when I look at this picture of Liza. Crazy resemblance.
