In January 2017, entertainment news outlets reported on an incident in which a video surfaced of the performer in the backyard of her West Hollywood apartment yelling, crying, moaning, and falling off a patio wall after she’d spent an evening out drinking with friends.
“The next thing you know, I started acting strange, and my friends are like ‘this is completely out of your character. It’s time to go home’ - and a lot of the rest is blackout,” says Barton in an exclusive one-on-one interview with Dr. Phil airing Monday.
Barton, who was taken to a Los Angeles-area hospital by first responders after neighbors reportedly called 9-1-1, says she believes someone slipped her the so-called “date-rape” drug, GHB, without her knowledge. Stating that a paramedic told her she showed all the signs of having been given the sedative, the actress continues, “And I know I’ve never behaved like that from drinking or anything so - I am certain.”
Why does Barton say she had to move immediately after the incident at her apartment? Tune in to Monday’s Dr. Phil.
