Mindy McCready's "Celebrity Rehab" co-star Mackenzie Phillips could hardly speak today in L.A. after news broke of McCready's suicide -- claiming, "The tragedy is just astounding."
A visibly upset Phillips said, "She was my friend. She was a really good person. I loved her very much."
She added, "[Mindy] was funny. She was smart. She was loving. She was kind. She was incredibly talented ... I'm in grief and it's very raw."
McCready and Phillips were roommates on the 3rd season of "Celebrity Rehab" with Dr. Drew in 2010, and remained friends.
As we reported, McCready was found dead at her home in Arkansas yesterday after suffering what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was 37.
My take:
I think that 'Celebrity Rehab' should be forced off the air. These are genuinely ill people who deserve better treatment than they are getting on a TV show. 5 deaths in two years is a terrifying statistic.
Mackenzie, if you were her FRIEND why weren't you there after the suicide of the father of her youngest? If you are going to go on camera and claim you are all choked up and GRIEF STRICKEN do it when we know you've been helping her out since you befriended each other in 2010.
