Stephanie Pratt got a DUI and at first she blamed it on anyone she could: the cops, her brother, MTV producers, but now she’s finally owning up to it and will do a stint in rehab to appease both the courts and the critics.
Pratt plead guilty today on the count of a misdemeanor DUI and will be spending 30 days in the ‘hab, according to her lawyer. While this may just seem like another step in the wrong direction for another Young Hollywood type, let’s give this girl some credit: Not only is she facing up to her actions (which she should have in the first place), but she’s publicly announcing her desire to seek treatment and make things right.
Steph’s battled with substance abuse in the past and even though she’s probably the most annoying thing that’s ever happened to my television, I think that for the past couple years she’s shown a lot of self-control when it comes to her vices. The fact that she’s willing to take care of the issue right away and seek treatment shows that maybe, just maybe, one of the Pratt clan is capable of showing some responsibility.
She’ll need at least 90 days to make a difference in her life.
No, she didn’t own up to anything. Please follow the link in the post: her plea was Not Guilty. The rehab is voluntary, the case has not yet gone to trial, she did not plead guilty.
Grrr. Maybe it’s me, I am in the midst of quitting smoking, nerves are shot. But really – just read it before you write about it, okay?
Um, seriously? This isn’t necessarily the World’s Most Selfless/Responsible Act, here. You put yourself in the position to potentially kill innocent people on the road, you pay the consequences. Why are we patting her on the back for this?
No wonder people brush it off as “just” a DUI. You should be more responsible in the first place.
