Mischa Barton’s big television comeback may be in jeopardy. Her starring role on the upcoming CW series The Beautiful Life has been left hanging in the balance as she awaits her medical release from the crazy-bin.

According toPageSix, Mischa’s breakdown came after a three-day binge of partying and snorting cocaine. Friends of the former The O.C. actress reportedly alerted the authorities amid fears she would kill herself.

“She’s in very bad shape. She’s running out of money and can’t find love, so now she is looking for a good time to escape her misery. She is on a downward spiral. She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess.”

The actress’ publicist suggests production may have to go on without its star, insisting Barton’s presence on set “will ultimately be contingent upon her progress and doctor’s orders.” And bossses at The CW network have reportedly declined to push back shooting for the show scheduled to begin on July 22nd.

This is Mischa just two days before the 911 call that resulted in her being locked up in a padded room. The swollen cheeks are supposed to be from a problem with her wisdom teeth. Drug addicts often have dental issues….just an FYI.
