Jonathan Rhys Meyers drinkt weer

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is, nadat zijn vrouw een miskraam kreeg, weer begonnen met drinken. Dat schrijft zijn vrouw Mara Lane op Instagram. De veertigjarige acteur kampt al jaren met een alcoholverslaving.

‘Dit kind was zeer, zeer gewenst. Zeker door Jonathan,’ schrijft Mara. Vorige week verloor zij het tweede kind van het stel, het broertje of zusje van de in december geboren Wolf.

‘Mijn man is een Ier die vecht tegen alcoholisme en depressie,’ schreef Lane over Jonathan, die volgens zijn vrouw is geboren als alcoholist. ‘Tussen zijn werk door heeft hij weer gedronken in een poging dit verlies een plek te kunnen geven’.

 

 

9/7/17 Forever Young With much sadness, we open our hearts to share that J and I lost our second child, who was baking in the oven. Child was very very much wanted (right now especially by J, so he took the news particularly not so well) and we are still working with coping skills over here… when life throws us curve balls such as these. Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with. He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know. I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes. It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress… sometimes it's like two steps forward, one step back. Thank you family and friends and all of you lovely kind beautiful people who send us good energy and thoughts and support. It is so appreciated. I have so much love for you. To some others, my husband is an Irishman who battles alcoholism and depression and drank between jobs to try to cope with the sadness of this news. I am trying to and still learning/adjusting to living with the public, like one would as a concerned mother-in-law. I feel that whomever took photos of my husband was slightly in the wrong and was concerned for the wrong reasons but … it's ok. It's ok. Maybe you have/had a family to feed and need/needed money? I don't know. We forgive you. He is safe and with his sober living companion and bodyguard to get into a detox closer to home since he was denied hospital help twice in Ireland because of an already two month wait period. Life is life. Life is beautiful. Life is tough sometimes though so let's try not looking down at someone unless we intend on helping them up. Sending love to those in… Texas, Florida, India and Mexico with all the natural disasters going on. We are both so sensitive and the past couple of weeks have been so ouch in our hearts for all humans and animals affected. With Love, M&J

Volgens zijn echtgenote is de acteur veilig en wordt hij bijgestaan door een coach en zijn bodyguard. Er wordt nog gezocht naar een kliniek dichter bij huis waar Jonathan behandeld kan worden.
