Mischa Barton Post-DUI Interview
Mischa Barton did break the PR silence after her DUI & drug bust this morning. Mischa Barton gave an exclusive interview to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM show, ‘On Air with Ryan Seacrest’. [Listen Here]
Mischa Barton takes full blame for her actions in the early hours of December 27th.
"Obviously, I’m 100 percent responsible for my actions in this case, and I’m really disappointed in myself. I don’t know what to say about it except that I’m not perfect, I just don’t ever intend to do something this stupid again."
Mischa outlines how the events came to be. She says she had not been driving that night but, when the end of the night rolled around, she just wanted to get her car home. It was a lapse in judgment.
"I didn’t have a license. I grew up in New York, you know. The land of people who don’t have to drive. It’s always been the toughest thing about living in L.A. for me. I usually try not to get behind the wheel…"
Mischa could not go into specifics about her arrest or her upcoming court date (February 28).
She does admit that it’s tough having people talk about her all the time. And having them lump her in with Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. To judge her as ‘one of those gilrs’ based on a single mistake, something she intends never to repeat.
Mischa Barton confirms that she is still filming ‘Homecoming.’ There had been rumors that she was off the film because her name was no longer on imdb, but after investigating it, I thought it was probably just a mistake. Glad I didn’t post those rumors. Mischa also talks of working amidst the writers strike, television versus movie work, and the cancellation of the Golden Globes.

What Mischa has stated is only seemingly convincing. I think she could have addressed more - not so much about her arrest, obviously - but more of why she did it and more about how sorry she is for disappointed fans and people she endangered on the road.
“I grew up in New York, you know. The land of people who don’t have to drive. It’s always been the toughest thing about living in L.A. for me.”
(Sounds a bit of a diva-ish excuse to me. Doesn’t explain the fact that she drove in possession of drugs…)
I believe that she is smart enough to never repeat her actions again but I just don’t think that her statement was enough to prove it to the rest of the public and the media. This isn’t going to be an easy year for her from what I can predict, but if she is consistent in good behavior, she may be remembered for her bundle of 2008 movies as an alternative to the DUI…
I have faith in you, Meesh! Please don’t spoil it again.
