Mischa Barton Voluntarily Hospitalized for Mental Evaluation
A LA County Sheriff's Department spokesman says the actress was voluntarily transported to hospital after officers responded to a disturbance call. TMZ reports that friends of the actress became concerned because she was exhibiting "bizarre behavior." While only wearing a dress shirt and tie, Barton was "hanging over her backyard fence and rambling about her mom being a witch, the world shattering." "At one point she fell backward off the fence and said, 'Oh my God, it's over! I feel it, and it's angry!'" Sheriff's deputies had reportedly responded to a call for a jumper or possible overdose. Fans will remember 'The OC' star was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold in 2009 after she threatened suicide. This time she was voluntary transported to a hospital for an evaluation.
