Ireland Baldwin has entered rehab for what sounds like substance abuse issues. I first saw this story yesterday via Radar and thought the details sounded a bit dramatic. The report said Ireland was “kicking and screaming” (because she didn’t want to miss Coachella) as she entered a cushy Malibu treatment center. She did intake with the help of her mom, Kim Basinger, and checked in over the weekend. Ireland reportedly “did not think that she has a problem but she has been partying non-stop” and only sought treatment after family grew concerned. Ireland must have gotten wind of Radar’s report, which quickly spread to other outlets. She took to Twitter to explain her situation from rehab:

(1) Apparently I’m in rehab for intensive partying soooo I’m just going to lay pretty low for a bit and maybe get some frozen yogurt

(2) I checked myself into Soba for two weeks to just get away for a little bit. I’m not much a party cat but I am here deal with…

(3) some emotional trauma and getting the intensive therapy I needed in order to recover. Someday I’ll feel ready to share my story…

(4) openly without feeling the way I do. Right now I just needed a breather. I needed a chance to work on myself and gather all the tools…

(5) I need to overcome everything that I had been through and rid myself of all the pain I locked away in unreachable places.

Hmm. Radar’s report hinted that Ireland went in for alcohol rehab after “partying non stop.” Ireland seems to be poking fun at the “intensive partying” claim in her tweets, but it’s hard to read without context (or emoji). She claims to be getting some heavy therapy for emotional issues, which could be due to anything. Perhaps alcohol or drugs, or maybe it’s because she and Angel Haze probably broke up. They had a very intense romance last year, and they both suddenly stopped mentioning each other on social media.

I was wondering how Ireland was doing last week after reports that she would attend acting school in NYC despite saying, “I absolutely hate New York.” She also (oddly) changed her Instagram name to “Beatrix Kiddo.” Those details are likely incidental. Let’s hope Ireland gets the help she needs in rehab. Where’s Alec Baldwin in all this? He hasn’t said anything.
