Will she ever learn? she needs to grow up and do something with her life geesh

She needs to get psychiatric help. She must be a miserably unhappy person.

Battery to whom is what I want to know. I didn't know she had a history of this-I'm so clueless when it comes to "stars"

Such a talent too. She can sing. At one point she was relaying she got help and that the boyfriend/father of her child was the whole problem. Right there she was in denial and blaming everyone but herself. He was the reason for her drug use, and her drinking and her temper. Sad.

pathetic....i remember when she was caught using the fake scripts...sad

(from the link above)

McCready's list of problems is long:

August 2004: Charged with using a fake prescription to obtain the pain medicine OxyContin. She pleaded guilty in November.

May 2005: Charged with drunken driving in Nashville. The charge is pending.

May 2005: Former boyfriend William McKnight charged with attempted murder after he allegedly broke into her home and beat her up. Charges against McKnight are pending.

July 2005: Charged in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, with unlawful use of transportation and hindering prosecution after police say she and a known con-man tried to use her celebrity to obtain two luxury boats. Charges are pending.

July 2005: Hospitalized in Florida after a drug overdose that authorities say appeared to be a suicide attempt.

August 2005: Jailed in Tennessee after authorities say she violated her probation on the drug charge. She was released on bond and the case is scheduled for trial in November.

Earlier this month she testified in court that she was pregnant by McKnight, the man charged with trying to kill her. Later she was hospitalized after overdosing on antidepressants after a quarrel with McKnight.

She makes Britney, Lindsay and Al Gore, Jr., look like little angels.

Has she ever gotten some serious psychiatric help????

The history of this is that she's an addict who can't stay clean. She also probably has some psych issues.l

Great question, especially since she has a child:

She's a local around here so I have read about her downslide for a while now. Her Oprah appearance just confirmed for me not to have high hopes for her recovery process. If her life experiences are not worthy of a Country Music hit song, I will eat my hat, but for now, I will just hope that someone can guide her to a calmer place.

She has basically tried to kill her baby twice before it was born....isnt that child abuse? Sounds lke someone needs to step in and take that baby away before she attempts and possibly succeeds now that he has been born!! and she is suing her ex? sounds like she needs money...he should counter sue and then if the boy is his if he is a better parent then he needs to get that baby away from her!!!

Unless he's cleaned up his act the father was as bad or worse than her. As far as she is concerned she sounds like a mean nasty drunk. She said she was going to sue the cops because they starved her and abused her. Hey Mindy you got tossed in the drunk tank they don't offer room service when you get that room. Her mothers face was scratched.....sure hope the baby didn't make you mad! And why was she at her mama's house? No money of her own to rent or buy a place? This woman made enough money 10 years ago to pay cash for a home. OH silly me she ran out of money and sold her house or lost it for not making payments because she needed drugs and booze. (Priorities huh?) Well Mindy your well on your way down Addiction Road and your dragging your innocent baby with you, how proud you must be. Sorry if I sound so angry but I saw this same garbage happen to someone I knew over 20 years ago. That baby's mother died when he was a teenager and today he's a 25 yr old heroin addict. I hope and pray she gets a prison sentence so a responsible sober adult can raise him.

Straitfan · #17 07-23-2007, 06:05 AM

She has alot of talent, it is really sad that she will not/ or does not get some kind of help, family must be enabling her to continue her out of control behaviors, hence new chg... Sad...

Malapoo · #18 07-23-2007, 07:17 AM

Girl, you had DEAN CAIN and you let him slip away. Idiot.

lizzybeth · #19 07-23-2007, 08:58 AM

You know this is sad anyway but when you have someone that has looks and talent and they throw it away for drugs and alcohol it makes me mad. Not everyone is blessed that way but I'm mostly mad about the poor little boy that is growing up with a mom like this and a grandmother that obviously doesn't know how to help her.

jantel74 · #20 07-23-2007, 09:37 AM

Sounds like this girl has made bad choice after bad choice. That poor little boy needs to find a "normal" , non angry drunk to raise him. Just my opinion.

"McCready’s mother first called police about her daughter being drunk and unruly at about 1 a.m., King said. When deputies tried to handcuff the 31-year-old singer, she resisted, and a female officer had to wrestle her to the ground. The scratch seen on McCready’s nose in her booking mug shot was caused during that altercation, King said.

McCready said Lee County deputies used excessive force during the arrest, and took her down while she was holding her baby, as reported today in the News-Press.

McCready was booked into the Lee County Jail at 2:28 a.m. on Saturday morning, and posted her $1,000 bail at 7:05 p.m. Sunday.

King said McCready again became unruly at the station, refusing again to allow herself to be handcuffed, until she was subdued with a pepper spray-like chemical."

Ticamom · #22 07-23-2007, 07:27 PM

How sad to see what her life has become. I remember when she had her first hit. She was so pretty and talented. What a waste of talent due to drug and alcohol abuse.

CarpeDiem · #23 07-23-2007, 11:08 PM

I just read tonight that the baby (16 months old) could be heard loudly crying in the background of the 911 call, apparently his Grandma was watching him when all this went down.

CarpeDiem · #24 07-25-2007, 05:41 PM

Warrant out for Mindy's Arrest!

Has the world gone mad or WHAT?

Edited to add:
UPDATE: TMZ has confirmed that Mindy McCready is now in police custody. She was arrested at the Nashville International Airport moments ago. Airport Police and Williamson County Sheriffs Deputies arrested her after she got off her Southwest Airlines flight. Let's hope she was in Group C!
