EXCLUSIVE DETAILS OF MARY-KATE'S BATTLE WITH DRUGS PLUS PHOTOS IN THE NEW ISSUE OF STAR, ON SALE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30

(New York, June 29, 2004) - Star magazine reveals that Mary-Kate Olsen- who along with twin sister Ashley, form a multi-millionaire power duo-is being treated for a cocaine addiction in an exclusive facility in Utah.

Mary-Kate is currently residing at the exclusive Cirque Lodge in Utah, which is known for its scenic mountain views and a new-age, intensive-therapy approach to treating drug addiction. She was checked in by her father Dave Olsen on June 11, and spent her 18th birthday there by herself on June 13.

The recommended 30-day program costs $29,850, and patients are free to come and go as they please, if their counselor agrees to give them a pass.

The facility's website says it treats eating disorders in addition to drug and alcohol addictions. As it's been widely reported, Mary-Kate is also battling anorexia.

Why do people talk about them so much? Every store I go in, I see a MaryKate and Ashley magazine...I really wish I could get one!
I only have about 3 magizens at the most of MaryKate and Ashley.
My friend has a recent one about MaryKate's eating disorder.

...well, it is Star. It's basically another National Enquirer. Until I find another big source such as CNN or ET...I won't believe it. But they do say it's still anorexia, so keep that in mind. She could have tried cocaine once and that gives them the motive to say she's addicted.

I would just like to post this article from etonline:

Ashley Olsen Opens Up About Mary-Kate's Condition

June 30, 2004
Last week, hardworking superteen MARY-KATE OLSEN checked herself into a $30,000-a-month Utah treatment center for anorexia, something her father, DAVE OLSEN, says she's been suffering from for two years. Tonight on ET, Mary-Kate's supportive twin sister ASHLEY is speaking out about how her dark-haired sister is coping with her condition. Also, we go inside the upcoming issue of Us magazine (on stands Friday) in which Dave reveals the status of his daughter's health.

"She's hanging in there," he tells the sleek magazine. "I don't know if [anorexia] is anything you ever get over, I just think you have to deal with it. Now she has a lot of support."

Mary-Kate has been seeking treatment at Cirque Lodge, where a team of counselors, a psychologist and a nutritionist are aiding her in her fight. A local source tells Us that it is also very spa-like and a normal day can include everything from meditation to movies.

But Ashley, who has rearranged her schedule to be by Mary-Kate's side, has been providing the most support. Earlier this month she canceled a 'New York Minute' publicity trip to Australia because her sister could not join her. "Basically, we are so sorry to cancel the trip," she told an Australian TV station. "We love Australia, and we've had the best time there, and all of our fans have been really supportive, so we can't wait to go down there again."

When asked about Mary-Kate's condition, Ashley replied, "Things are good."

"They are everything to each other," a close source tells Us. "Twins, business partners, and best friends. They are always in each others' corners."

The twins' father reportedly was the one to spearhead a family intervention with the aid of Mary-Kate's therapist to get his daughter help before she headed off to college this fall, and more importantly, before she turned 18 on June 13 while the family still had legal control over her.

But a source tells Us that the decision was reached in a calm manner and Mary-Kate essentially made her own decision to get help. "Her family was certainly involved, but this was something Mary-Kate knew she needed to do ... she was not dragged to the facility."

And Dave Olsen tells the magazine that Mary-Kate is indeed responding positively to treatment. "It's a good opportunity she's having right now, and it seems she's making progress" he says. "She's looking better and she's carrying herself better. That puts a smile on my face."

For more on what Ashley has to say about Mary-Kate's recovery, check out tonight's ET!

Not if they're in Utah.

Samsgirl xo · 06-29-2004, 11:27 PM

supossidly theyre are word for word sources and the sources that have actually double accountd that in rehab she went" im mary kate oslen and i am addicted to cocain" if you do cocain anyway you have a low self esteem and think of urself as a piece of trash... why else do you harm your body... anorexia goes hand in hand with it because you make yourself so sick. i dont know it just disgusts me what people do with fame. its just sad to see people you grew up watching fall apart. anorexia or crack or what not. if she does do cocain thats it, all she is to me is a joke. if its anorexia alone, i wish the best for her. its tough it really is a disease that haunts you.

They're in Utah now??

barb1686 · 06-29-2004, 11:34 PM

I agree. If it's cocaine then I have absolutely no respect for her anymore, but I do wish her the best. As a child I looked up to her, and now that I'm older I cherish those memories so that's why I follow her career. But if it is just anorexia, I wish her the best and I know it's not her fault. She didn't wake up one morning and say, "hey, I want to become anorexic and practically kill myself"...no.

But there are quotes of it being an eating disorder. Whether it's by itself or with a drug addiction we don't know. So keep that in mind.
