Jonathan Rhys Meyers Mom Died so He’s Drinking

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested just a few days ago (pictured above), and released on bail, after he became aggressive at a Dublin airport. Now we know the reason. Jonathan’s mother, Geri Meyers O’Keeffe (50) who was known to have been in poor health, died at 7 am at the Mercy Hospital in Cork soon after being admitted. Jonathan mother died only hours before he was got drunk and was arrested. Family and friends said they were stunned to learn of Geri’s passing. They said she had been sick earlier in the year, but had recovered. Jonathan is pictured with his mother below.

Just yesterday Jonathan cracked open a can of extra-strong cider in the street at 10 am yesterday while in London (pictured below). This is a very dangerous time for Jonathan since he just exited rehab in April, and now he’s drinking to cope with the loss of his mother.

A friend said, "She was extremely proud of Jonathan. She used to tell us she knew from the time he was born that he was destined for great things." Hopefully Jonathan’s friends and family will lend him the support he needs to get through this difficult time before he ends up back in rehab or worse. Make your mother proud, put the drink down, and walk with your head high like Kanye West.
