Mischa Barton Denies Hania Barton Overdosed

The Mischa Barton family rep on Wednesday blasted a tabloid report that the actress’s sister was hospitalized for a drug overdose.

"Mischa understands that as an actress and a public person she needs to address her issues in a timely and appropriate manner. That being said, she’s the only public person in her family and we will not address these sleazy, tabloid reports," rep Howard Bragman said. "I think these pieces of s— who work at hospitals and sell private information are not only breaking the law, but they’re morally reprehensible. They’re selling people’s private information for the price of dinner for four at Lawry’s. And I hope they choke on their prime rib."

The National Enquirer reported today that 19-year-old Hania Barton was hospitalized over the holidays after overdosing on a muscle relaxer.

Tomorrow morning Mischa is scheduled to be on the Ryan Seacrest radio show, like Paris Hilton, to talk about her DUI, and now her sister too. Mischa probably isn’t afraid of getting any jail time after she’s seen how celebrities with DUIs have been treated this past year. That’s probably why she isn’t in rehab.
