Ireland Baldwin says she went to rehab for 'some emotional trauma'

Ireland Baldwin, the daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, took to Twitter to clarify reports that she checked herself into rehab. While she did say that it was true, she didn’t really appreciate the reasons reported.

There was speculation that she had gone to rehab because she parties too much, but Ireland, 19, laughed that off. “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,” she wrote on Twitter.

She went on to explain that she went to the Soba Recovery Center in Malibu for two weeks to “just get away for a little bit. I'm not much a party cat but I am here deal with some emotional trauma and getting the intensive therapy I needed in order to recover.”

She declined to tell her full story.

“Right now I just needed a breather,” she continued. “I needed a chance to work on myself and gather all the tools I need to overcome everything that I had been through and rid myself of all the pain I locked away in unreachable places.”

Today, she thanked fans for their support, writing, “There has never been a time where I haven't been honest with my fans & the people who have supported and loved me since day one.”

Ireland was rushed to the hospital earlier this month and tweeted a picture of herself at the hospital. “Appendicitis swag,” she wrote.
