Jan 24 2009Bijou Phillips knows the history of psychiatry, you don't!

In a recent interview with Paper Magazine, Scientologist Bijou Phillips went off on psychiatric medication, basically telling everybody with depression to just man up. Us Weekly reports:

"My grandparents didn't take any pills, and they were fine," Phillips said in the February issue of Paper. "Just buck up and get over it. Stop being such a f---king pansy."

The budding actress frequents Scientology-sponsored events and spoke out against psychiatry and prescribing patients with medication for such mental illnesses as depression or anxiety.

Yeah, I usually find the best treatment for people with depression is to call them a fucking pansy as well. Because no amount of medication or psychiatric help can compete with just telling somebody to stop being depressed. It works for other things too. Just the other day I saw a guy running around on fire screaming for help and I was like "Hey, quit it!" So then he fell to the ground, stopped moving, and the fire eventually went out. I never saw him again once the paramedics pulled the white sheet over his face, but I bet he's doing great now.

Who is this no-named cunt? Who cares about this fake Scientology anyway?

Yeah, I'm sure in her perfect world where she has money, and not a thing to worry about except where she's going to get her anus bleached that mantra works. But for people like me who are pretty poor and not alot of options in life anxiety and depression is a powerful thing. It really sucks when you wake up every day with no sense of self worth and only looking forward to going to sleep to get away from it all.
What a douchebag.

Ok, I looked her up, she is a no named cunt. So, she was in some move, "a Career to Nowhere" a movie about her, and had an album, "I'd rather eat glass" Probably everybody's thought after listening to it as well.
I thought you had to have more money to be into Scientology. Those dipshits are reaching low in this crappy economy I guess.

is this the girl that got tagged team in havoc?

cause I usually like to get my medical advice from someone who isn't a doctor let alone someone who is basically one giant epic fail in her actual job.

luls @ Fish writer.

Well said #2. I feel for you. Keep your head up and it will work out :)

what a waste of air

man fuck this stupid bitch. those who don't believe in medication for psychological or personality disorders, clearly have never lived with anyone who suffers on a day-to-day basis. don't talk about shit you don't understand.

@1

She's the chick that gets dual-primed in Havoc, that's who she is.

----

In any case, it's clear that she's just another Scientology cunt-rag. How anyone can take this business seriously is beyond me...in its way, it's more repugnant than the traditional religions.

Ok so she is nothing more than a rich H-wood party girl and she thinks depression meds are for losers?
Hey Stank Ho - all that BLOW you snort is no different you fucking moron. You and your party girl friends are all doing the same thing, you just buy your shit from a drug dealer not a pharmacist.

I can't help but notice that while she mentions her grandparent not using pills, she doesn't mention her parents. Perhaps that's because he father was the biggest amateur pharmacist of the 60's, John Phillips from The Mamas and the Papas.

For those of you too young or attention deficit challenged to remember Bijou Phillips was basically the Paris Hilton of the mid-late 90s. Someone famous simply for being famous who partied hard and did a lot of naughty stuff to get attention. The main difference being that Bijou was more of a scenester (the 90s indie-film scene) who never broke mainstream(ie make a sex tape and put it on the internet for the whole world to see her scrawny chicken ass).

She fell off the face of the earth just around the time a certain duo of spoiled, racist hotel heiresses that look like alien chicken people started pushing their way onto the scene. Hopefully ten years from now no one will know who the hell Paris is either. That probably won't be the cast but one can dream.

Why is it that men spend their entire life in the pursuit of that part of the female anatomy... then use a derogatory trem for said body part to insult woman.

All I can say is... #1 & 3 with the stupid name... YOU ARE A DICK!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
wow, she's so beautiful!!!
Wanna join a hot and heated forum that discusses the truth about these big stars?
++++ A g e l e ss Ma t e C om ++++++ has lots of sports fans there! besides, it's hot cou gars, mi lfs, sex y chick s and handsome young men and chi cks min gle club!!LOL checka!!

This bitch needs to be raped. Then we'll see if she can "man up" and move on with her life.

Her GRANDparents may not have popped pills ... But her DADDY (John Phillips of the Mamas And The Papas) was the KING of pill poppers. Her family history is LOADED with drug addiction. WTF? Where does she get off advising others?!!!

This vapid cunt needs to die by fire. I would enjoy bring about 12 or 15 guys to brutally gang rape her over a period of several days, then kill her pets in front of her, then forcing her to eat their remains. Then we can see if she can "man up" and go on through the rest of her life chipper and worry free!

I agree with dirk- funny how she doesn't mention her parents who were both junkies.

It's wonderful that her grandparents didn't pass down the genetic precursors to mental ilness, but that "curse" is also a blessing. Some of the most brilliant and innovative people in the world have been afflicted with mental illness (many scientists believe that Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso suffered from bipolar disorder).

For so many people,mental illness is chemical and cannot be treated with verbal therapy, much less through pretending we are all aliens. While I do think mood-altering drugs are over-prescribed in this country, it is ignorant and grossly naive to say that NO ONE needs them.

Nerd rage is scary here. It distracted me from my original thought of, "The only thing more irrelevant then this opinion is the chick who said it."

Didn't we get this whole line of reasoning from the king of Scientology? Look how well that worked out for him and his career.

Yeah, I could see why a chick who admitted she was doing coke, fucking anything that moved, and chowing out chicks at bars when she was 15 would not want to go see psychiatrist. Anyway, this bitch is the reason the phrase "Tits or Get The Fuck Out" was invented ... so TOGTFO !

I'm not a nutcase scientologist but I agree ... depression is for fucking pussies!

Man up! Life is full of ups and downs. Become accountable for your life!

It's nice to see that the Superfish and so many commenters understand that you don't get over a chemical imbalance just by "bucking up." What a stupid comment from a stupid celebrity ...

I never heard of Havoc but if she is being the human finger cuff in it, I'll have to go rent it :)

I will never ever remember what her face looks like.

I have to agree with her. People use this as an excuse. All of these people on ADHD drugs and depression. It gives them comfort to think they have a "disease" so they don't have to deal with the pain of actually doing something.

Make steps to make your life better, some drug isn't going to do it for you.

Who is this person?

Who cares about her bubble-headed opinions?

Jeff, you're an idiot. Taking drugs is a step towards making life better. Anyone who has ever taken antidepressants knows that it's only the first step. The next step is getting therapy, dealing with your issues, making changes in your life. No one just takes antidepressants and sits back and relaxes, that's what people like you think. You're wrong.

Superficial Guy, I think I'm in love with you. Marry me?

Wow! She's cute as a button. No seriously. She's gorgeous.

I think I'm schizophrenic too. One the one hand I think Bijou's a fine piece of ass that I would like to give a long slow ride in the sack. On the other hand, I laughed my ass off when she got tortured and scalped in Hostel II. Do you think I need meds?

She'll see the light after a permanently disfiguring rape.

Has she been in a movie where she does NOT get naked?


Oh well, thinking about that made my anxiety go away.

Time to update my "dumb cunt" list again.

for bijou and all the (very few) posters who disagree with antidepressants you disgust me thorougly

no antidepressants are not the solution so all you do is pop a pill and everythings fine but they are, as Casey said, the very first step that can make a tremendous difference in someone's life

when you're so depressed and can hardly move or get out of bed, you can't do the typical therapies (i.e. CBT) or take action to make life better because you're physical chemistry is affecting you too much

the antidepressants make it so you can wake up and shower for a change and actually start making the behavioural changes that will make your life better which you couldn't do before

antidepressant medication is not for everyone, but the people who say "get over it" are disgusting people who obviously have no clue what it is like to be so depressed you don't have the strength to move. you should NOT by any means be talking about or judging something you obviously have no clue about


"After the Mamas and the Papas broke up, John’s life went into a tailspin. He was hooked on heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, and alcohol. He admits in his autobiography, “Papa John” that he often got high with his teenage daughter, MacKenzie, who was now a star on the television series “One Day at a Time.” Finally, a drug bust in the early eighties pushed him and his wife, Genevieve Waite, into drug therapy. In recent years he has claimed sobriety and toured with a new version of the Mamas and the Papas—himself, Denny Doherty, MacKenzie, and Spanky McFarlane." Oh yeah, he was so fine.

27% of kids in public schools in California are on some type of medication for emotional/mental/psychological disorders. If you think a pill can fix shyness, then dismiss what Bijou says. Then go stand in front of a mirror and call yourself an idiot and take a pill to overcome being a fool.....

I hear that she eats marshmellows

#29 die by fire faggot!

I know what will cure me of my depression, if I see her naked in all her movies!!! How about just watch people doing it or do it yourself!

The only thing all you whiners need to get over your depression is one pill. Just some lead. In between the eyes, or if you prefer, put the gun in your mouth.
But you can't because you are a pussy and that is why you are depressed anyway, because you are a pussy.
Nobody wants to be around your depressed ass so grow up and get over the fact that the world doesn't revolve around you.
You should be happy, Obama promised you a check.
Oh shit, maybe it's just Republicans that are depressed! That would make more sense! I'm not depressed. He is a miserable failure and everyone get so see him fail daily and publicly. Best thing EVER!

Have you ever worked with the kids who are on those medications? I agree that some things are way over diagnosed. However, I have worked with a child who was so shy that she would literally shake and cry during class. She worked with a therapy dog so she would feel a little better (she was a 6th grader), and eventually got some anxiety drugs. She is doing so much better now because she has this help, but that isn't to say she isn't doing anything herself...she works hard to still keep herself under control. She told me she doesn't like taking pills because she doesn't like swallowing things that are whole, but she knows it makes her feel better and have more control over her life. So do you want to tell this 11 year old girl to just buck up and get over it? People like you need to stop talking if you have never experienced it yourself.

Stop being so fucking mental, Bijou.

Tits out for the lads?

what a cunt. yeah, just "stop being depressed". good advice. go fade back into obscurity where you belong

I absolutely 100% agree with her. Big Pharma has a grapple on everyone, and medication of depression and what not is asinine in most cases. Not all cases, most cases.

#44 (and all your clones) - "Nobody wants to be around your depressed ass so grow up and get over the fact that the world doesn't revolve around you.

Oh shit, maybe it's just Republicans that are depressed! That would make more sense! I'm not depressed. He is a miserable failure and everyone get so see him fail daily and publicly. Best thing EVER!"

Take your own advice - Obama won decisively and a huge majority of Americans support him now and expect him to lead. Instead of rooting for him to fail, "grow up and get over the fact that the world doesn't revolve around you" and your rigid political beliefs.

i mostly agree with her, except the whole scientology-based angle of it.

that being said, what a SILF.

Yeah! man up bitches!

also I'd hit it.

I may be just a drug-controlled bi-polar freak, Bijou, but at least I own and know how to use a hairbrush.

You got to remember that there are people and children out there who no matter what, all the talk and help in the world doesn't get the neurons or chemicals to get the o'l brain wiring back in shape so medications to get them back on track as therapy then get them off later when they are much better . Now some people need to be on meds because there brain doesn't produce the chemicals to keep them functional. Its like a band aid for your cut even tho the body heals it takes a band aid to make it heal faster.

#49 Jim, Did you take your advice and support GW Bush? I didn't think so. Not one democrat ever supported him. Go F yourself. It is ridiculous to demand that everyone get behind this ass puppet and support him. I am not supporting one more nigger than I have too. I will not support that ass. He only won with 53%, that isn't huge by any standards. McCain sucks and that's why Obama won. It's that simple. I never liked McCain but I sure don't like Democrats taking my money and "spreading the wealth" with it. If you want your money going to every crack head and for abortions over seas, great, send all your extra money but leave my fucking check alone. Obama ran with 10X the money McCain did and he only won at 53%, that is not something to brag about.
Fuck him, Fuck you and all your democrat know it alls. GO wait for government to fix your broke ass life.

Scientology; the biggest multi-billion dollar tax free industry since christianity was fabricated.

So you're not just a child, you're an angry child. I supported Bush exactly as much as Republicans supported Bill Clinton (although apparently you don't get to impeach a president when all he does is destroy two countries, the U.S. and Iraq).

At least Tom Cruise isn't a cuntnozzle about it.

For the first time on this website.. I think you said something worth while. Being in medical school.. I've definitely seen the amazing changes that treating depression or anxiety can bring. The quality of life for people changes completely. Chemical imbalances in the brain are a problem just like hormonal imbalances, heart disease, anemia, etc. So why be dumb and not treat it?

To #16... She does get raped in the movie Bully. She's naked a lot and looking hot.

@54

Hey, how are things back at the Klavern, you racist faggot? You and the bitch in the article should get together and shut the fuck up, because nobody gives a shit what either of you are saying.

Yeah, this chick is a fucking retard. But I think we can all agree that people with these "disorders" are weak minded. But that being said the medicine does do them a lot of good because they can't get over their weak mindedness on their own. It's not like they can "just buck up and get over it." That is a ridiculous statement.

I really wish her just a happy depression, and would really like to see how wonderfull she's going to deal with it sans medicine!!!

stupid idiot...

I agree with her. People has become such whiny nancies, my god! Ooooo, I have lots of work, oooo, I am so sad, oooo, I am so stressed! You didn't see our grandparents complain about the amount of work they had and stress. With all this psychiatry kicking in, people have totally lost resistance to stress and all. There is a pill and theapy for everything now! I say SUCK IT UP AND BE STRONG, dammit!

Triple post? Rookie maneuver. Apologies.

"... and I was like "Hey, quit it!"

LOL, Fish (and I never say LOL). Extra hilarity points for you today.

There are different kinds of depression; sometimes it is situational and for others it is a deficiency of chemicals in the brain (most often dopamine and seratonin) that regulate mood. You could have the best life possible on paper but without these naturally occuring chemicals to assist with keeping your mood elevated, it is not hard to feel unhappiness and hopelessness.

To bad there aren't pills that Bijou can take to keep her from being a stupid, vapid ignorant bitch.

Dave Mustaine wears lipstick now?

I can't believe she can utter these words. She sounds completely ignorant. Thousands of people are suffering from psychiatric illnesses, and idiot scientologists have the nerve to shun medications... medications that have helped prevented suicides, helped people function in a social environment, and helped people regain back their sense of worth. Shame on you, Bijou. What your grandparents experienced was not depression. I only hope one day you can realize it for yourself what it means to be plagued by depression or anxiety. Only then could you really understand how it feels...

Shame on you.

second, @58: + 1, i agree

third, @54: So you basically want this country to fail? You are not a true American. You dont have to agree with everything (or anything)Obama says; however, to wish him failure is to wish this country failure. Hopefully one day you'll grow up, quit being such a racist douche, and move forward.

Good Lord Bop. Stop clicking the mouse.

Dumb broad.

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF OH NO THEY DIDN'T OR DID U JUST STEAL THIS??

Hey Bijou, while your parents were snorting a truck load of coke every two days and fucking everything in sight, the rest of the country was embracing pharmaceuticals. I sort of wish your waste-of-space parents had. Shit, at least birth control. If they had, we wouldn't have to hear a retard like you spout off your shoddy, uninformed opinions. I hope you get up on that space ship and get gang raped by Tom, John and Xenu.

I think that this idiot should try working at a residential treatment facility for 2 weeks with children who have severe emotional and behavioral disorders. She can work with them for one week while they are on their medications, and the next she can work with them when they are stripped of all their medications.

I find it baffling that someone like Bijou(past history already explained-parents, her own partying, etc.-) would be so quick to judge anyone else on a topic as vast and complicated as mental illness. Furthermore, I hope she realizes what a giant shitbag she comes off as in this stupid diatribe considering that last year one of her real-life friends and co-star of the movie Bully, Brad Renfro, died of an overdose. Unless you're an idiot, you should know that addiction is also a disease which more often than not is directly related to some form of mental illness. Keeping in mind that I don't know the details of Renfro's life, he may have benefited from some form of treatment, whether it be therapy, counseling, medication, whatever. Perhaps she should spend less time opening that gaping, festering wound she calls a mouth and spend more time trying to help others or at the very least educating herself in an attempt to surmount the cloistered, ignorant, selfish, and priviledged lifestyle she's unfairly been handed because clearly, she doesn't deserve it.

Okay so she is an idiot but what about her tits?

You people are sick. Truly effed up, wasted internet loudmouths.

Whereas scientologists are completely brainwashed, power-hungry, spineless followers of whatever the hell they believe in; we are a nation of over-medicated pansies. We take pills for EVERYTHING.

So, even if scientologists are silly fucktards, we the human race need to grow a pair.

p.s. she is also ridiculously hot and if it took some weirdos in a building a few conversations with her to get her off meds, crack, or whatever the hell it was. That's great. She'll be hot for years to come and enjoy watching her hotness.

Stupid, ignorant cunt.

#92 Tom Cruise
She's Ok, but her knees are kinda sharp.

shes a cuntttfaceee

Not having any psychiatric medication worked really well for Jett Travolta. It worked so well that he had enough brain damage from frequent seizures so that he didn't know he didn't have friends growing up, didn't know about the joys of learning and finally didn't know he was going to die.

#92 So Brooke Shields shouldn't have treated her depression, she should just have ether sucked it up - or gone out the window with her kid? The latter seemed like the best idea for her to escape when she was deep in postpartum depression - a depression her body's chemical imbalance threw her into.

Sorry #63, I DON'T think "people with these "disorders" are weak minded" is something most of us can agree on, and to make that statement really shows how colossally ignorant you are. Shields realized her mother's alcoholism was too destructive to be around and stopped seeing her - "weak minded" of her, wasn't it?
Andrea Yates was advised not to have any more children after she displayed classic textbook postpartum psychosis - but her husband thought that was crap. He housed his family in a fucking bus and they had another child. Yates wasn't on medication and we saw how that turned out for both her and the childen she drowned - in order to "save" them. Depression and psychosis doesn't happen because people are "weak minded" - weak minded" and mentally ill are two different things, and Vitamin C doesn't cure the latter. There's a shitload of difference between pessimistic people who are dissatisfied and whine constantly about how life never goes their way and people who actually see suicide as a better option.

Of course Big Pharma will try to sell you anything, and anything that's good for some will be abused by others looking for a magic pill, no work required - but that's not the point Far better to ask why Scientology insists on treating schizophrenia with vitamins - pschiatry deals with brain functions and that's Ron's area. Talk about paranoia - "This furore over the world against Scientology is stirred up by small psychiatric controlled groups...A psychiatrist kills a young girl for sexual kicks, murders a dozen patients with an ice pick, castrates a hundred men. And they give him another million appropriation." (1969)

Yeah, Ron, that's a million you didn't get. Seems you didn't man up and get over it., either

I'll buck up and get over it when she bucks up and stops being a moronic cunt. Depressed people can take pills to correct brain chemistry. There isn't a pill to stop retardation yet.

She allegedly took a shit on the sidewalk outside of a NYC club years ago when they didn't let her in in time for the bathroom.

who the hell is this broad, somebody should tell her that Xenu hates retards

bitch can kiss my lily-white ass.

#100 But the Church of Scientology loves their money just fine and is more than happy to advance them to the next "level" - once the check clears.

She went to drug rehab. pretty sure that drugs aren't okay.

i'm all for psychiatry. it IS a branch of MEDICINE

As someone who was unfortunate to grow up with this evil hag back in Palm Springs, I'd like to assure you all that if ANYONE on this planet could benefit from psychiatric meds... it is Ms. Bijou Phillips. Crazy bitch!

#91 - Daddy paid for 'em.

Those of you who say that people on pills are weaklings, you can SHUT THE FUCK UP. Just because you've never had a problem in your life doesn't mean you can shit on those of us who are suffering from serious, traumatic issues. I can't wait for the day you get raped/assaulted/or otherwise harmed and then you see how well you get along without a pill to keep your serotonin from plummeting to the point where sticking that gun in your mouth seems like a good idea.

no, they didn't have pills. instead they became raging alcoholics, blew off their heads, or were put in the nut house for the rest of their lives.

great alternatives, don't you think?

and by the way, no, antidepressants shouldn't be prescribed to a girl whose boyfriend broke up with her or to somebody who's a little sad and they are, but many, MANY of the prescriptions are very necessary.

Mimi--I am a woman and a feminist but I don't agree with you on the "c" word. In certain cases it is appropriate to say something along the lines of, "Bijou Phillips is an ignorant, whorish, vapid, cretinous CUNT!!!"

I am really fed up with these ignorant celebrities spouting out all this scientology bullshit. They think they can make change and affect people just b/c they are famous. Well, these dumb asses, like the bitch above, needs to go back to college and educate herself. Mental disorders/illnesses, like depression and anxiety, go beyond the emotional level, and primarily depend on seratonin levels and other neurobiological factors that go on in the brain. I am a psychology major, and I am currently trying to obtain my phD. or psyD in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. It's ignorant low lives like her, who are attempting to put me out of my career field if this keeps up... and that is not cool, seeing how I am busting my ass off at college, gaining knowledge, while people like her continually formulate suppositions which she has no knowledge about.

To all the idiots who think that you can just 'get over' depression or other mental illnesses, do you day the same thing to people with cancer? You don't need chemo just buck up and get over it already. It's only cancer. Good lord it's amazing how stupid some people are. Amazing you can type and breathe at the same time.

Plus, she looks like total dogshit. Twenty-eight, my black ass. Twenty-eight times two is more like it.

all religion is dumb and ignorant, but scientologists are as super-stupid as the mormons these days. if it weren't for that though i'd fuck the shit out of her. recognize.

Medications can be very helpful to someone who is in the pit of depression. I know what that feels like, I've dealt with depression since I was 11, and certain meds made it possible for me to get out of bed and feel somewhat human. But I also think they should be a short term tool, not something that you stay on for years at a time because pharmaceutical companies and doctors tell you to. I've been off meds for two years now, after being on them for twenty years, and I feel better than I can ever remember feeling, but the withdrawal period was about four months of hell that almost made me start taking my meds again, but I knew it would eventually pass. I then had to deal with emotions that had been kept nullified for years, but I found that it wasn't as hard as I thought when I decided to face them head on and get through it. Not saying everyone can or should do that, but I think some depression is caused by not facing and dealing with our feelings. Like being neglected or abused as a child, or going through a death in the family, or divorce, etc. If you bury those feelings or drink or take meds to squash those feelings, they are going to still be there waiting for you to deal with them eventually, and its better to get through it now than hold it off for years. Also, the mind/body/spirit connection is something that should be explored more by western society and science. If someone keeps thinking negative thoughts long enough, it can start to create changes in their brain chemistry such as a chemical imbalance. The more positive thoughts you can think, the more you can smile, and the more you do to help yourself AND others, this will cause the brain to create a more balanced chemical composition.

"And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."

Maybe we can trick them into a mass suicide!!

I prescribe suicide.

Bijou is a moron and Scientology is a religion created by Ron Hubbard who is a SCIENCE FICTION author. I think he actually said the best way to becoming rich is to create a religion. So the guy is smart and he has Tom Cruise as a follower, enough said. Of course wasn't Bijou on drugs herself? Like heroine, coke, meth, and oxycontin, maybe? People who have psychiatric problems needs legal drugs to help with brain chemicals. Whoever is running this Scientology program needs to teach their celebrity clientele alot more because none of them have a clue about anything. They all sound like morons and we are laughing at them.

raping her isnt going to help, why on eath would anyone think it would?
clearly the people detailing this chicks rape need some anti-psychotics in their cheerios

I love how these dumb cunt Scientologists are experts at talking out their asses. They know nothing of the very things they speak down upon. I have seen a 5 year old bipolar child w/out medications, w/out treatment and/or diagnosis. It's incredibly scary shit I tell you. Since all of these things did take place, I have seen a normal 5 year old boy that can now focus, interract, and learn in Kindergarten. W/out those things, the child was downright scary. Seeing and living it is believing....something many of these fake religion, sci-fi fuck alls know nothing about.

Depression talk aside, somehow I can see her walking up to a woman who just got abused and raped by her father and telling her to "get over it".

For all of you idiots who mention that their grandparents did not use pills -- i would like to point out the fact that many women abused Valium to excape. As well, as, the fact many just killed themselves. The reason why so many people did not talk about it? They would be shamed by people like you, thrown into a mental institute, given EST, and left to die anonymously .

Fuck off. I hope they withhold your chemotherapy, your insulin, and your antibiotics. Buck up you pansies! Take some blow, and dont give into Big Pharm.

Fucking idiot. All you cancer patients quit complaining and buck up. You're just dying, for all of the attention. Ridiculous.

Brad Renfro ravages her in the movie 'Bully.' Why was he the one who had to die? Probably b/c he was trying to man up on his drug addiction.

Goddammit, this no name whore straight up pissed me off....fuck!
Depression is real.
OMFG I want to kick her ass so bad
and Tom Cruises's too
and L Ron Hubbard's dead ass too.

So she thinks mental illness isn't real? LOL Anti-depressants haven't been around for all that long, so of course her grandparents didn't take them. That doesn't mean that there weren't depressed people back then, it just means they couldn't do anything about it, so they probably stayed in bed most their life or committed suicide. People that say these types of things, better watch what they say, because it can come back to bite you. When I was a teenager I used to think that addiction was an excuse to not stop. Then I got addicted to pain meds after having several surgeries in a row. It's a very ugly real thing and I had to find out the hard way that you can't just get over it. It's kind of like those people making fun of someone that is retarded and then they end up having retarded children.

As for Bijou Phillips, the first time I heard of her it was when I read in a magazine that her sister was yelling at Leo Dicaprio in a bar for hitting on her 15 year old sister (Bijou). What was a 15 year old doing at a bar alone anyway? At the time Bijou was a model, but basically like someone else said she was the Paris Hilton of that time. Ironically, she was friends with Paris, Nikki, and Nicole. Bijou went on to play in films such as Tart (in which she lets a dog give her oral), Bully (nude), Havoc (nude & gang banged ), Hosel 2 (nude). So in around 30 percent of the movies she's played in she's been nude. Another random note is that she has been in several films with the same people including Brad Renfro, Dominique Swain, and Mischa Barton. She also has false teeth, no not crowns, real false teeth.

Bravo, Superfish, bravo. Couldn't have said it better myself.

That was easy, now we are all the same and everyone is fixed. I think I will go have 2 sandwiches.....

#97: I notice you conveniently left out the fact that the reason for Yates (and especialy her husband)'s beliefs was their fundamentalist "Christian" religion. I am not a Scientologist, but as a religion, it doesn't seem any more messed up than most other religions in the world. I guess most people don't like Scientology because it does basically say "man up" (as far as I can tell) and be responsible. Easier to blame your life on "original sin", God's will, or anything but yourself. And of course one can always SAY its because of the weird "aliens are inside of us" thing purported to be part of their religion.
To many others posting: looks like depression goes along with alot of anger, epithet-hurling and racism. Interesting. Are there drugs to help people posting comments to be civil and/or rational. Or has that disease not been diagnosed yet?
Oh, and all you "don't talk about things you don't know about" posters: I assume, then, that you're all ex-Scientologists because I KNOW you wouldn't "talk about things you don't know about". Double-standards, anyone?

# 118 was funnier than #137

She needs to brush her hair.

Horray! My faith in the world is restored again to know nobody agrees with this ho.

If patient confidentiality laws and an ethics committee approved it, I'd put this Bijou Phillips in a month long reality-TV stint at a genuine mental health institute. I'd like to see what tune she sings after seeing people who genuinely cannot function without intervention.

I would especially find it entertaining to see her or other Scientologists attempt their self-improvement techniques on some of their residents.

Granted this is extreme compared to people with clinical depression, but I'd be happy if she went from "drugs are not necesssary and are a medical conspiracy against patients" to "some people might actually need those drugs".

Yeah, people's grandparents may not have had medication to deal with their depression, which meant that they soldiered on, yes, but at the price of living every day with crushing anxiety, insomnia, suicidal thoughts and God knows what else.

Sometimes to mask the pain of depression, they became alcoholics.

We are REALLY LUCKY to live in a time when mental illness is treatable so that sufferers can live normal lives. There's nothing noble or praiseworthy about living in a time when you just had to buck up and drag yourself through all the days of your life, drowing in sadness. It just means you lived in a time when the medical therapies that could have changed your life hadn't been discovered yet, that's all.

This stupidity about "just get[ting] over it" is one more reason why I loathe the lie that is Scientology.

#138 The reason I didn't mention Yates' fundie religion -"conveniently" or otherwise - it is that Quiverfull didn't forbid her taking meds - just birth control. She was hospitalized for 3 months and put on Haldol (an antipsychotic) after twice attempting suicide after the birth of her 4th kid, and advised not to get pregnant again. Her husband took only half the doctor's advice - he made her take her meds, but she got pregnant soon after. Her husband 's only other concession to keeping her sane was to move them out of that fucking bus - he wanted a completely simple lifestyle, so she had to homeschool the kids and the family's lack of funds kept her in almost total isolation - so you do the math. Either way, it came out minus five kids when she had a psychotic break - her dosage was off and she wasn't being seen by doctors. Russell Yates thought she might possibly kill herself, it never occured to him that her psychosis endangered his kids as well.

Regardless of Yates' fundie group, Scientology is the one that's going around stating that psychiatry is a huge Nazi-enabling conspiracy and that anyone who speaks out against their cult is, q.e.d, under the control of psychiatrists. There have been enough people who've left the enclosure and written about it, so that if you have any intellectual curiousity at all you can do the research and make up your own mind. Some of these people have grown up in Scientology families, which de facto makes it harder to leave, and even harder to speak out, so their efforts carry a lot of weight.

To claim Scientology as "a religion...doesn't seem any more messed up than most other religions in the world" is really lazy. To encourage people to come out with really irresponsible and insulting shit like Philips and Cruise do is disgusting - and they deserve whatever response they get to such reckless idiocy. For you to just say, well, I'm not a Scientologist, so I really can't know, really relieves you of any responsibility to inform yourself on anything, now doesn't it? BTW, do you think people who've been through hell chemnicaly might just be a little pissed off at glib idiots who just dismiss their problems as a lack of buck-upitude? Do some thinking before you post again and spare us all the "we can't know" bullshit.
And please avoid jury duty until you learn to use your gray matter.

#10 "She's the chick that gets dual-primed in Havoc, that's who she is. "


LOL NOW I recognize this worthless WHORE.

It's going to be ironic when this twat realizes she has nothing to live for, then in a deep depression over doses on pillz in a gutter.

I'm not even going to stop myself from laughing at her obituary, I might however act surprised... and thus be a better actor then she is.

Pills and therapy can't treat depression, yet E-metres and group meetings combine with cash donations can cure you of having to many Theatons... or whatever you call those aliens that make you think your depressed and or a homo... GREAT RELIGION!

GAWD I can't fucking believe these people are even allowed to talk. Why can’t scientologists have a vow of silence….. someday maybe in a perfect world they will.

Text book case of daddy issues

I think we should be happy with this. I wish EVERY Scientologists would speak out like this, we ALL need a good reason to laugh! These fucking idiots actually make themselves look like complete retarded egomaniacs. It's perfect - it attracts the other nutjobs. It proves that to worship as a Scientologist you need only to have one DNA helix more than a stump - so you are only ALMOST as dumb as a stump.

The daughter of John-I-did-narcotics-til-the-day-that-I-died Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas is so funnnnnnnny. This bitch and her older sister Mackenzie used to do drugs WITH THEIR DAD. Um, yeah.

#149 But see, those were RECREATIONAL, they weren't, like, prescribed by some Nazi supporting psychiatrist to control her - and she could've, like, stopped completely and start bucking up and being un-pansylike any time she wanted. She just, um, didn't want to then.

Papa John. It really was a great book. The story of a rags to riches folk singer who hit the psychadelic 60's, becomes a multi-millionaire on acid, blows the money - literally - on coke, then stoopes to become a Keith Richards level heroin addict. Instead of spending the rest of his life in jail because of a fraud perscription drug racket, he weasels his way into rehab and "community service", then gives up heroin for alcohol and drinks himself to death - literally - after a liver transplant. The grandparents? A Marine Corps officer who won a bar in a poker game and a Cheokee Indian. No predespotion for alcohol abuse there. One half-sister is following in her fathers footsteps, and is still doing blow and horse. Another half sister is surprisingly normal for being married to a Baldwin.

Now who is this tart? Oh, she was in a movie called "Tart". What else ... Hostel pt2. Went to rehab at age 14. Was in a 4 year relationship with Sean Lennon, only to cheat on him with his best friend. One album in 1999, now "working" on a 2nd one. What a way to spend a decade.

Another Scientolo-loon.

Who cares.

I can't believe no one's mentioned here that this is Danny Masterson's gf. So it's really all Hyde's fault.

ok @ 18 keep the damn pets out of this- its not their fault - its hers. although i agree she is a jerk- you are an asshole for promoting cruelty to animals. fuck you.

What a total cunt!...I bet she voted Republican

#2 and #11 - right on!

I take antidepressants and have dealt with people like this before and it drives me crazy...no pun intended. I am really glad to see that so many people are angered by her comments as much as I am. Your outrage means a lot to me...really.

It's amazing how these cult-freak, bizarro world celebrities are so clueless and out of touch with the real world. Hey celebrities WE HATE SCIENTOLOGY AND HEARING YOU BLAB ABOUT IT MAKES US HATE YOU!!!!!!!

I'm so sick of seeing these weirdos trotted in front of a camera as if they're something we should all aspire to be...This cunt was a drug addict slut in the 90's, the Paris Hilton of her era...and now she thinks she's going to spew L. Wrong Hubbard's wacky bullshit at America and we'll listen to her.

Go die, celebrities...all of you. You're weird and you suck.

uh huh...so are you gonna show us your tits now?

Why are all the hot ones insane? I bet she's a fantastically amazing fuck...but not good for much else. Sweetie, what are you doing reading and studying things and saying opinions? You're gonna hurt yourself with a book, honey...Just wear a low cut top when you're out in public, smile nice and pretty and KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!!!!!!!!!

#54 stop whining about democrats stealing your money...you know you don't make any money. Also, please take this shit over Rush Limbaugh's website.

Thank you. You suck.
