Heather Locklear Threatened to shoot Herself

9:34 AM PT -- A source close to Heather tells us the 56-year-old was agitated during the day, so her parents went over to her home. We're told that's when Locklear got violent, choking her mother and hitting her father. Her mother called the police.

Heather Locklear was taken to a hospital for a psych evaluation after a family member claimed the actress was threatening to kill herself ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us a family member called 911 Sunday afternoon to report they were concerned for Heather. We're told both the Ventura County Fire and Sheriff's Departments responded to Locklear's home.

R9 There really wasn't much gossip about her until about a decade or so ago when she stared going off the rails. She had a great rep in Hollywood and was regarded as one of the nicest people in the business. Not just to other actors, but to the "little people" like the crew and fans too.

I think a big part of it is the stressor of becoming an older woman in Hollywood. I think alot of times there will be psychiatric imbalances that are dormant and then a stressor or trauma causes them to emerge. With women, that trigger tends to be aging. I think alot of these women would be better off leaving Hollywood once they reach a certain age. For men it's easier to grow older there.

by Anonymousreply 11June 19, 2018 1:45 AM

R10 is she still supposed to be nice? I always heard that about her too.

Part of the problem is her taste in men. Tommy Lee is a dog. Richie seemed like step up but he cheated on her with her friend Denise Richards. I feel for Heather—once considered a sex symbol she is now almost hitting 60, unmarried... what was the last big role she had? I always thought she was so beautiful, she still is aging pretty good, despite her problems, actually. Some plastic surgery but I’ve seen much worse. Her daughter Ava (with Richie) seems like a beautiful & kindhearted girl via her Instagram page, she’s getting into modeling. I will always be a fan of Heather. Life is rough for older women in Hollywood.

I think r11 makes some good points. The thing with Heather was that she was very successful for very long - TJ Hooker, Dynasty, Melrose Place, Spin City. She is one of the rare actors to star in multiple tv series which were moderately successful to very successful.

Hitting her 50s and being single and working in Hollywood must be very difficult. Plus, like others have said, the men she chooses to be with are not good for her, and who knows what shit she's had to endure in Hollywood.

She has had A LOT of facial fillers and botox and hoo boy, does it show. I want to feel sorry for her because I believe most of her issues are related to being a beautiful woman who has aged. BUT she's a Republican so I'm less sympathetic. What can I say--call me a cunt.

After Tommy and Richie, she probably wants to kill herself because she can no longer find a big dick attached to a famous rock star, along with a starring role in a TV series.

No more fame, big cocks, starring roles, sex symbol status, etc.. it must be hard for her to deal. I kind of feel sorry for her but she had 30 plus years in the biz. That's more than a lot of actors get.

HL's violent behavior indicates symptoms of long-term alcohol abuse. Long-term alcoholism can result in a certain neuropathy, where the neurotransmitters are damage due to an alcohol saturated brain. Though she may be confined long term due to this most recent incident, it may be too late for the brain/neurotransmitters to repair due to long-term damage. Use of prescription drugs compound the damage.

Booze and pills.

Benzos are a nightmare to get off of. Most benzo addicts never recover. They use the benzos until they die. After years and years of usage, the user ends up extremely depressed, with violent outbursts. If drinking is also involved, it exacerbates the depression and mood swings even more so.

I know several women who are going through this right now. I have very little hope that either will recover.

I’m lucky as fuck that I hate pills. I feel terrible for people who go through this, because they try to stop so many times, and they end up at square one, repeatedly, until they finally just give up.
