Mischa Barton: Not a Nervous Breakdown

Mischa Barton takes a cigarette break with a friend in the West Village, New York on Monday (August 31).

In July, the 23-year-old actress was hospitalized before starting CW’s The Beautiful Life.

The actress recently shared that it wasn’t due to a nervous breakdown, but a wisdom tooth surgery.

“Before the show started, I was traveling abroad for contract stuff, and I went through a terrible surgery – a wisdom tooth surgery, all four removed,” Mischa told Time Out New York. “I went through a tough spot where everything compounded on me, and it was like a perfect storm, like everything was happening to me at once. I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while.”
