A disturbing video of Mischa Barton before her hospitalization has surfaced online. The footage shows "The O.C." alum yelling incoherently, cursing and then losing her grip on the fence before falling to the ground at her West Hollywood apartment.
In the video obtained by TMZ, the "Young Hollywood" star was seen yelling, "Oh my mother, I always knew it. Oh you f***ing witch. I knew it. What a witch. I was right. I was right." She went on, "We're dying, we're dying. I knew it. I knew it. I don't want anybody to know. Oh my God, it's terrifying." The actress continued rambling and cursing audibly before stumbling from her fence.
The video was taken on Thursday, January 26, before she voluntarily went to hospital to seek professional help. She was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She was released from hospital on Friday, January 27.
After released from hospital, she told PEOPLE that someone slipped her date rape drug, also known as GHB, while celebrating her 31st birthday with friends on Wednesday night. GHB is a depressant that is commonly placed in alcoholic beverages without changing the color, flavor, or odor of the beverage.
Barton said in a statement to the site, "On the evening of the 25th, I went out with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. While having drinks, I realized that something was not right as my behavior was becoming erratic and continued to intensify over the next several hours."
She continued, "I voluntarily went to get professional help, and I was informed by their staff that I had been given GHB. After an overnight stay, I am home and doing well. I would like to extend a big thanks of gratitude to the professionals at Cedars-Sinai for their great care and professionalism. This is a lesson to all young women out there, be aware of your surroundings."
Police reportedly received multiple calls around 7:15 A.M on Thursday regarding the disturbance the actress caused. Officers found the 31-year-old actress and one house guest when they arrived. According to the police, Barton was "fully clothed" and "speaking in coherent statements" before she voluntarily went to the hospital.
