unfortunately this wasn’t the only such
lapse of judgment Gibson has experienced
having left aggressive angry and racist
voicemails on his exes own which went
public yahoo you had some rough patches
over the last ten years rough patch
uh-huh number eight Randy Quaid this
actor is known for playing eccentric
oddball characters and it turns out such
roles may not actually require that much
effort on his part
are you sure in 2010 Quaid and his wife
were detained in Canada after seeking
asylum from a vast conspiracy network
the couple claimed they were the target
of an international group of Hollywood
star walkers that plot to kill
celebrities this network of individuals
is manipulating the banking system and
the criminal justice system for the

our credibility if that weren’t weird
enough Quaid posted a video in 2015
where he pretended to have sex with his
wife while she donned a crude mask of
Rupert Murdoch number 7 Mariah Carey for
this iconic singer the pressure proved
too much in the summer of 2001 while
promoting her film glitter Mariah took
her shirt off in front of a live
television audience intended them ice
cream bars just days after this bizarre
episode towards the end of July Carey
was taken to a hospital in Westchester
County New York and subsequently
transferred to another hospital and
Connecticut where she stayed until
August the pop star later claimed the
cause of her meltdown was exhaust
Jim regularly putting in 21 hour days
for the better part of three months yeah
sort of workload would set anybody off
throughout my life I’ve imposed this
unrealistic work ethic on myself
number six Sinead O’Connor throughout
her career this Irish singer has been
known for her quirky and often
incendiary behavior remember her
controversial performance on Saturday
Night Live where she tore up a picture
of Pope John Paul the second side the
real enemy
she’s developed a reputation for being
incredibly open about her struggles with
mental illness and thoughts of suicide
in interviews even taking to Twitter in
search of psychiatric aid in 2012 these
bouts with mental illness have led to
multiple hospitalizations over the years
so in 2007 o’connor publicly announced
that she had been diagnosed as bipolar
she later claimed to have been
misdiagnosed after seeking more than one
second opinion
number five demi lovato while on tour
with the jonas brothers in november 2010
this disney star sought help at the
Timberline Knowles treatment center
where she stayed for over two months at
the behest of her family and manager
while at Timberline Knowles the singer
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and
has since opened up about her struggles
with bulimia
drug and alcohol abuse and cutting
herself today Lovato is a mental health
advocate whose goal is to spread
awareness and take away some of the
stigma for those who have been going
through the same problem number four
Charlie Sheen you then I think thought
about seeing a psychiatrist on a regular
basis thought you’d never ask
this successful movie and TV star is no
stranger to break downs or
hospitalizations in 1998 Sheen had a
stroke at the age of 32 that was the
result of a cocaine overdose however the
actor didn’t hit the peak of his
instability until 2011 when he shared
some thoughts about his boss two and a
Half Men creator Chuck Lorre and she
probably should have kept to himself
Sheen would ultimately find that his
series of reckless and seriously strange
interviews not only got the whole world
talking but also cost him his contract
during the meltdown Sheen called himself
a warlock among many other things I’m by
winning I went here and I win there now
what number three Mischa Barton in July
2009 while seeking treatment for a tooth
infection the OSI actress violently
confronted professionals and was
reportedly suicidal afterwards
Barton then 23 years old was committed
for two weeks
under 5150 a code under California law
that allows a patient to be held in
voluntarily
unfortunately her troubles did not end
there in early 2017 neighbors reported
seeing Barton hanging over her backyard
fence rambling incoherently about quote
the world shattering and how her mother
was a quote witch
this resulted in her being taken back to
the hospital though this time
voluntarily oh my god oh my mother I
always knew it
Oh English number two Amanda Bynes from
a young age Amanda Bynes seemed to buck
the trend of young female stars engaging
in reckless behavior but in 2012 that
reputation began to unravel in April of
that year the former Nickelodeon actress
was busted for a DUI and in July 2013
she got in trouble for setting fire to a
neighbor’s driveway among other offenses
for this string of behavior Bynes was
put in what was originally supposed to
be a 72-hour psychiatric hold
but eventually wound up lasting well
over a month sadly she’s had to undergo
repeated treatment with conservatorship
being handed over to her mother on more
than one occasion we need to pray for
her amen but we also need to get her the
hell out of here number one Britney
Spears divorce rarely brings out the
best in people
but Britney Spears split from Kevin
Federline seemingly sent her over the
edge
for more than a year starting in 2007
fear is engaged in a series of bizarre
behaviors that caught the attention of
the media and the public she shaved her
head was repeatedly heard using a
British accent and attacked a car with
an umbrella these eccentric actions
resulted in the singer being put under
psychiatric hold and arguably a low
point losing custody of her two kids to
Cape bed thankfully Spears has since
managed to recover regain custody of her
children and continue to produce hit
