E! Online is reporting that former “The OC” star, Mischa Barton tried to commit suicide. She was forcibly removed from her LA home and committed to the hospital for a mandatory psychiatric evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. As her publicist lied, Barton was not in the hospital due to “exhaustion”. She actually attempted suicide.

As E! Online is reporting:

Mischa Barton’s recent hospital stay was due to “suicidal” actions, claims a source very close to the star’s drama. Also, the insider asserts, the attempt may have coincided with Mischa’s bosses at the CW’s The Beautiful Life deciding they no longer desired her services.

“She tried to kill herself,” claims the source close to Barton, who also asserts that Mischa had also been let go—and later rehired—from the soap.

“She was being crazy that day [when she went to Cedars Sinai Medical Center],” says another knowledgeable source, who had direct dealings with Ms. B right before she entered Cedars in Los Angeles, reportedly involuntarily under a psychiatric hold, for “medical reasons.”

Suicide is never the answer. There IS help out there, but you must seek it out. If you or someone you love is feeling suicidal, get them some help.

Get well soon, Mischa!
