What may have led to Mischa Barton’s mental breakdown? Us. Not the magazine, but we, the people. Friends of Barton say she has major body image issues. Especially in regards to her legs. So when these photos of her cellulite surfaced, she was more than a little distraught. They may have even driven her to drugs.
“She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. … She didn’t like it,” says another source. “That just was something that contributed to her spiraling but she didn’t do much to fix it because of her partying.”
While another friend tells PEOPLE the photos upset the former O.C. star – “[She was] more pissed off than hurt and she complained a lot about that” – she didn’t let them get “to her too much. … I never saw her diet.”
Look what you did. Are you happy with yourselves? You put her in an institution with your unrelenting laughter. You’ve single-handedly ruined her career by critiquing that one picture posted a year ago. What a bunch of jerks, you guys are. Wait. Is that her ass up there? Ugh. You guys are right. I think I’m going to vomit.
