The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

Actress Is Mentally Ill

[Media Take Out] We just got some shocking and explosive tea. A very popular actress/singer has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

We spoke with a former friend of the beauty who told us, “[Name redacted] has been suffering from mental illness for some time. Everyone knew, but now that she’s getting older it’s getting worse.”

The insider, who is worried for the young woman’s health and well being added, “She was taking medication, but she said that it messed with her ‘creative spirit’ so she stopped. Now she’s spiraling out of control.”

We’re told that behind the scenes the 20-something African American starlet is out of control. Sometimes doesn’t even make any sense – if someone doesn’t help her – it will end very badly.

Given the very sensitive nature of these claims, we’ve decided to leave this as a blind item.

    Keke Palmer, but she’s actually spoken about her struggles with mental illness previously so this isn’t some big secret.

  2. BexSteve says

    I’m a specialist in mental health and a few things are true
    1) Schizophrenia is most likely to emerge and have a “first break” between age 17-24. Can be triggered by stress, trauma, some drugs, or occur on its own
    2) inappropriate dress for weather is a big signifier of a detachment from reality/a psychotic process
    3) it doesn’t go away without medication and the longer and deeper the “decompensation” goes without medication the harder it is to walk back
    4) if it’s Keke her family…

    Actress Mischa Barton was hospitalized Thursday morning for a psychiatric evaluation after neighbors called police to report that she was incoherent, seen hanging over her backyard fence, screaming and exhibiting bizarre and disturbing behavior.

  9. WhoAteTheCakes says

    I’m 100% sure it’s Mischa Barton. There have been rumblings for a few years now that she’s not taking her mental illness seriously and that she’s distancing herself from her mum, whom she owns property with. Just like a physical illness you need serious and immediate help with mental illness and I truly wish her the best.

    • calumsmom says

      Not African American and I’m pretty sure she’s not in her 20s anymore — otherwise I would be 100% in agreement.

    Only guess I came up with was Azealia Banks but it says vey popular & not thinking very popular fits.

    Whoever this is I feel for them. Can’t imagine having such a diagnosis while in the public eye.

    • january13 says

      Also wasn’t throwing shade at A. Banks. I do think she may have some sort of mental illness. I think her rants go beyond attention seeking to just out there. They’ve caused her a lot of backlash.

  19. Frantastic74 says

    AZALEA banks. The one who went nuts on russell crow. If medicated she can live a good life. But thats what happens. They think they are better. This is a disease you can never stop taking meds

  23. ShadyTrees says

    Unfortunately, this sounds like Keke Palmer.

    When she had her own talk show she spoke about avoiding that young adult phase of foolishness that most child stars go through when trying to find themselves. People saw her as mature for her age because every move she made was well thought out and not attention seeking, then a year or so later she cut off her hair and started acting out.

    Anyone who is diagnosed SHOULD take their medicine, especially if they are schizophric . SMH

      *Schizophrenic. Sorry for the typo, I added more to the middle of the comment and started losing characters off the end of the comment lol

    Azealia Banks. Whoever it is, I wish them the best. That’s a horrible disease, and it’s hard to get under control.

    • TeaDrinker says

      Optional: I knew things weren’t right when I read her interview about the whole Trey Songz music video debacle. Even in the interview she sounded a bit off.

  39. icantquityoularry says

    This is tragic news to hear. It’s such an awful mental illness to have. cant think of any african american 20s singers though ? could it be my girl riri? And I dont follow news on her but she has worn some funny strange “clothes” of late. hope it isnt her though !!!

  45. ghostrider44 says

    Azalea Banks?

    If it’s not her in this blind, I’m still sure there is some sort of disorder going on there…. her recent actions are violent and paraniod.

  47. zappy2050 says

    I think this is Keke Palmer. Her behavior recently is bizarre. It is more Amanda Bynes than Britney Spears. She was walking around scantily dressed.

    You could blame it on being a child star but the truth is parents (regardless of what the child is doing – child star or not) needed to take steps to provide structure for their children.

    Pray for her.

  51. MissZ says

    Azalea Banks?
    She’s crazy but I don’t think anyone would be surprised by it so I’m not sure if this blind is for her.

  53. Luxe says

    Rihanna.

    “If someone doesn’t help her” refers to her song “SOS” where she says “SOS please, someone help me.”

  58. Realistic says

    Keke Palmer
    From the street walker looks to her need for attention lately, I wouldn’t have gone straight to schizophrenia but it makes sense. Sad since she’s talented and there aren’t many young Black starlets that young girls can look up to.

  60. KCeagle says

    Rihanna ?
    Kat Graham ?

    I’m out of the loop on this blind. I’ve been so distracted worrying about our new president that I haven’t seen or heard anything about a black starlet going bonkers.
    Whoever this is about…Girl, take your meds, the prescribed ones NOT the recreational stuff!!

  61. eryncuz88 says

    Azealia Banks. I know she’s mostly a singer, but she has a film coming out called Coco and describes it: “The film stars Azealia Banks as a twentysomething female rapper from Brooklyn, New York who wants to pursue a music career”
    She’s always seemed a few cards short of a full deck.

  65. wildaz says

    Azalea Banks?

    I thought all of her behavior suggested she had some undiagnosed medical issues. But then again what won’t people do for fame/infamy. It’s a little hard to tell sometimes. I wish her the very best, whoever it is.

  76. pflower says

    maybe Zendaya? She’s 20 and has been in tv shows and films, although she’s mainly a singer right now. Complete guess though

  80. celebiddy says

    Keke palmer?

    Very talented and charming but seems a little off with some of her clothes choices, wearing bikini in cold weather, long drawn out instagram captions. And shes around the age that the mental illness problems become more obvious

  91. Sandy24 says

    Also kids, don’t F with the voodoo or mess with the Ouija. Sh*t is a portal and you don’t get to control what comes in or out. Don’t. It has made some people very ill.

    • ningyo says

      LMFAO no, you cannot summon demons or evil entities by playing with ouiji, and it most definitely wouldn’t give you a mental illness. ?

    • chalupacabra says

      Agree 100%. I don’t believe in the supernatural – everything is natural, but our understanding of how the universe works is still extremely limited. Meanwhile, do not mess with anything you don’t fully understand. Why risk it?

    • boyjack4 says

      Actually I agree 100% having experienced a friend going bonkers from playing with a board way back in the sixties! A very frightening time for all the friends! I’m scared of it till this day and Im 71 now!

    • prinny says

      Haven’t played with the Ouija since I was a kid, but I was always convinced that someone was moving that platform around!

  95. Sandy24 says

    Azealia Banks, she’s been acting weird ie getting kicked out of Russell Crowe’s house, the chicken blood thing… Also, the younger you get diagnosed the worse the diagnosis. I feel bad for her. Meds are the only way to control it but eventually your neuro-receptors burn out (which is why being diagnosed young is also bad, too many years of meds at a young age they will eventually stop working) and she will dive head first into the fractured reality that is schizophrenia.

    • OliviasTwin says

      Yep, I agree with you 100%. It’s sad because she also seems to have some weird thoughts on race relations stemming from her upbringing. I hope she can trust someone enough to help her.

  96. More_Cowbell says

    Keke Palmer

    Optional: She’s been photographed walking around underdressed, even in cold NYC weather, and is now fighting with Trey Songz

    • PrincessConnie1 says

      With the guesses that seem to be Keke Palmer… Glad it’s not RiRi! Sad for Keke and anyone else suffering mental illness though.

    • janique_le_pique says

      I hope its not Riri either but keke? she is not “very popular” I live in Europe and nobody knows her here.

    • thisisannoying says

      Seriously. Every time teenagers praise these grown up child stars as “queens” “empowering” etc I’m thinking – no, they’re very damaged. Miley, Keke, Kylie Jenner, etc etc.
