Ireland Baldwin: I checked myself into rehab
Ireland Baldwin says she's in rehab.
The 19-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger tweeted the news Monday, revealing that she checked herself into a Malibu, California, facility for the next two weeks.
Baldwin took to Twitter in response to a RadarOnline story that claimed she was unwillingly admitted due to a substance abuse battle and "partying non-stop."
But Baldwin says that's not the case, explaining, "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."
