Kirsten Dunst
has had it with all the rumors about her going to rehab for drug or alcohol addiction.

She wants you people to know she was depressed.

"I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," Dunst told E! Online. "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea too."

That's why she went to Cirque Lodge, the same posh rehab where Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes sought treatment for their issues.

"Now that I'm feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something ... . Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about," Dunst said.

Well, yes. But then neither should drug or alcohol problems.

Congrats for taking care of yourself, Kiki. Keep up the good work.

ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME KIRSTEN !!????? I am depressed ......because of WHAT?!!!! you have a high paying job, famous, rich, no kids or husband no one to support???? ALL this money and nothing to do??? Oh wait, its because you have to worry about childcare, your next meal, gas prices, healthcare, rent, etc.??? thats its??!!!! NO ONE LOVES ME EVERYONE HATES ME!!! Thats it?? GET OVER IT GIRL!!!!! Grow up!! You are 26 yrs old with minor responsibilities. There are millions of people with depression and CANNOT afford help so we all DEAL WITH IT and move on. You should to.


Depression has many causes. The young, beautiful, and rich are not exempt. My suggestion to the previous commentator is that you be a little generous. We're all just flawed human beings trying to do our best. No one outside of her immediate circle knows the pressures to which this young woman is subject. Give her a break. You have no idea what her life is like; don't make assumptions. We all just do our best.
