Kirsten Dunst to the Media: “f*ck Off, I’m Depressed!”

First it was Lindsay Lohan saying her rehab stint was due to exhaustion, then it was Eva Mendes supposedly going in for research, now Kirsten Dunst is blaming her trip to detox on depression. Is this the true story or just another celebrity crying wolf?

In February, Dunst checked into Utah’s Cirque Lodge Treatment Center, the same facility that housed Lohan and Mendes, after several pictures of her looking trashed surfaced. Dunst told E! Online that she was “struggling” and said: “I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself.”

A source close to Dunst (whatever the hell that means) told PEOPLE Magazine that drinking wasn’t the source of her problems, but that “She couldn’t control her depression.” When Dunst first went to rehab, another friend told the mag that she’d “been crying a lot lately.” Maybe she’s depressed because she’s surrounded by friends who’ll sell her secrets to a tabloid for a few quick bucks? Just a thought…

In a recent interview, Dunst told E! that “Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.” Seems like she’s being pretty honest, right? Depression is a serious affliction that, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, affects about 30% of women in the U.S. But her excuse comes into major question now that pictures of her with a black eye were snapped on the set of her new film All Good Things. Was this the result of a bender? Or is she so depressed she punched herself in the eye?

I’m going to guess it was the former.
