Mischa Barton has a ‘sober coach’.
Producers on the actress’ new TV show ‘The Beautiful Life’ have hired someone to stay with her at all times following her hospitalization under involuntary psychiatric hold at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July.
A source said:
“Mischa is doing great since she returned to work, but after a chat with show bosses she agreed she would appreciate some extra support.”
The appointment of a sober coach comes after the 23-year-old star’s friends admitted they were worried Mischa was jeopardizing her recovery after she was seen partying at the All Points West music festival in New York just days after she left hospital.
Family friend Eric Ziegenbein said:
"It's scary to see her out right after she's received treatment. When I found out she'd been partying again, I was shocked. I thought she would chill out for a bit.
"The fact she was out right away proves she's not taking things seriously enough. It was like a big 'f**k you.' She's too proud and independent sometimes."
What do you think? Did 'The Beautiful Life' hire support for Mischa?

That's really normal. A sponser? Yeah. Pretty much standard issue for people trying to get sober.

That's good that she has and is getting support, she can't get through whatever she is going through alone.

Hope she does have support, and iff it's a fact, hope she is accepting it and they are not making her do that against her will.

I wouldn't be surprised. The network has to protect its program and the stars attached to it so if Mischa needs a minder, guess it's part of the whole deal. losethatgirl blog

Sounds like an AA sponsor. I wouldn't be surprised, I suppose, but it doesn't sound like something that the company would spend the money on. More like something they would make her get in order to stay with the show.
