Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst is speaking out about the time that she spent in rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah.

According to Dunst, who is 26:

“I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression. It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”

When it was announced that Dunst has entered into a rehab facility, it was widely assumed that the actress was seeking treatment for alcohol abuse. Dunst is often photographed drunk, to which many tabloid bloggers nicknamed her “Kirsten Drunkst”.

I’m not sure if I completely believe that she was in rehab strictly for depression and nothing else. That just doesn’t sound likely.
