Just days after being nicked in an apparent drugs raid, Tatum O’Neal is now seeking treatment for alcohol addiction. That dog of hers has sure done a lot of damage.
The 44-year-old was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanour offence after she was arrested by a narcotics team on Sunday night for exchanging money with a man for cocaine three blocks from her New York home.
Oscar-winning O'Neal has now enrolled at a local Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) therapy group in a bid to help kick her addictions.
She was photographed on her way to a session on Tuesday, telling the New York Daily News: "I'm doing very well. I'm going to an AA meeting."
Referring to the weekend's troubles she adds: "The whole thing is regrettable. What's good in what I did?"
The former child star, chronicled her recovery from a heroin addiction in her 2004 book A Paper Life.
