BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

From The Johnny Depp Playbook

[Blind Gossip] Remember when Johnny Depp’s team claimed that he had injured his hand in a go kart accident in Australia?

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you that the go kart story was not true at all.

There was no go kart. Johnny Depp actually cut his hand indoors in a drunken fight. The truth did not come out until many months later.

Today we’re going to tell you about another star who suffered a medical emergency. You were told a lie about him as well. We are going to tell you what really happened.

You may be wondering why this young American actor is spending so much time in a foreign country.

To explain this, we’re going to have to go back in time a few months.

Our actor was filming a project in Foreign Country 1.

There was a medical incident. A very serious one.

He was rushed to the local hospital.

His case was so severe that they decided he would be better off being transferred to another hospital in a larger, neighboring country with better facilities to treat him.

He was subsequently airlifted to Foreign Country 2.

However, when news leaked that something had happened to the actor, his team had to come up with a story. So they took a page from the Johnny Depp playbook.

While Johnny Depp’s team lied about the cause of his medical emergency, our actor’s team had to lie about the nature of the medical emergency itself.

Their story sounded plausible. And it kept the media at bay.

Except… it was not true.

Not even close.

So… what was the real medical emergency?

Our actor had been seizuring.

Why?

Because he had OD’ed.

Oh, yes!

We did not know if he was going to make it. It was literally a life-and-death situation. Our hospital isn’t really equipped to handle such severe cases of c*caine overdoses and seizures so they airlifted him to [Foreign Country 2].

We’re going to skip the technical parts about status epilepticus and convulsive versus non-convulsive seizures and the various treatments used.

Suffice to say that our actor’s condition was critical, they did not know if he was going to make it, and transferring him to the second hospital in Foreign Country 2 may have saved his life.

After the initial OD emergency was over and he was stabilized, our young actor immediately went into recovery.

His recovery is going fine, but this is not his first relapse, so everyone agreed he needed to stay put for a while in Foreign Country 2 to get well.

In order to explain his extended absence from the United States, his team has offered up a series of excuses.

The latest excuse is that he has fallen in love in Foreign Country 2.

We’re sure many people will buy it. 

Just not anyone who knows the truth.

Get well, Actor!

    Zac Efron.
    He’s od’ing because he’s not emotionally equipped to handle his career, the positive/negative of it.

  2. Bubbalou says

    Zac Efron?

    I kinda like him as he comes off as sweet and nice and wholesome tho’ slightly dim , despite the drugs/steroids. I think he got hooked onto steroids while filming for Baywatch. He doesnt look good bulked up though.

  3. seattlemonkey says

    I couldn’t figure out why Zac’s story about staying in Australia seemed off, but this explains it. What’s sad is that every single commenter guessed him – this tragedy is clearly no secret to anyone, I, too, wish him well in his recovery.

  4. johnchas1 says

    I moved to Hollywood at 17 in search of an acting career, 1980.

    While there was a lot of interest in me, folks freaked that I had an earring, and
    I was told in no uncertain terms to ditch it and pretend I was straight if I wanted
    to make it.

    I chose to be myself, and passed on the rest. It hurts my soul that 40 years later Efron
    appears to be collapsing under the weight of the Hollywood closet, which has eaten away
    at many a closeted actor’s mental health through the decades.

  5. DavyRogers says

    Zac Efron. I hope he gets the help he needs, but something about him tells me he’s going to be a Hollywood fatality. I just get that feeling.

  8. nikki.marks70 says

    Actor-Zac Efron

    Addiction is a horrible disease. Many people relapse several times before getting clean.

  9. rhiannon14 says

    Zac Efron “getting sick” in Papua New Guinea

    Why is he relapsing? The same reason why Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Cory Monteith, and countless others did. Addiction is insidious. Once it grabs a hold of you, it won’t let go.

  13. aaaGranE says

    Zac Efron
    Story was he got an infection while filming in New guinea and had to be flown to Australia for treatment. Hope he keeps it clean this go around.

  14. kellybird says

    Zac Efron. He OD’ed in Papua New Guinea and was airlifted to Australia.

    He keeps relapsing because he’s a drug addict and is (in all probability) surrounded by a posse of people who are all along for the free ride, so no one will call him on it.

  16. kazzuri says

    Oh Zac efron, now in byron bay Australia, evacuated from Papua new Guinea. His team did a good job, the bacterial infection was quite believable. The story about the girlfriend he’s supposedly fallen in love with, not so much.

  19. crozzer says

    Zac Efron was airlifted from Papua New Guinea to Australia.
    Opt- He isn’t living his best life. He is probably fed up of hiding the fact he is gay

  20. FromAnotherDimension says

    Actor: Zac Efron
    He’s staying in Australia because he is “in love” with a waitress *eyeroll*.

    Optional: he’s having trouble dealing with his sexuality

  23. Kayjay11 says

    Zac Efron and his PNG flight to Brisbane Australia late last year. Still in Australia and rumoured to be buying and settling in Byron Bay.
    Not sure why but perhaps a new start is a good idea in a new country.

  32. KrazyCatLady says

    Oh Zac Efron, you were my last heartthrob crush😻😿 this is too bad his adventure show is interesting. I thought he was doing well. The Australia gf thing is weird. I saw he is torn on leaving. That seemed off. My brother in law works in the business, worked on one of his movies about five years ago, and says he’s cool and down to earth in real life. Get Well Link💪🏼💪🏼

  36. AmateurGossipHour says

    Actor: Zac Efron

    [Optional] Why does he keep relapsing? He obviously needs help, wish him the best!

  43. lapawar says

    Zac Efron?

    His story of coming down with a bacterial infection in p.n.g. then being life flighted to Australia sounds eerily similar to this

  49. SilentStar says

    Oh no poor Zac Efron. Sounds like he OD’d in a small South Pacific or Southeast Asian country perhaps during the filming of his new show and they had to hospitalize him in Australia. I sincerely hope he recovers well. Maybe it will do him good to live there for awhile for a fresh start anyway.

  54. ILUVCA4evr says

    Zac Efron. From Papua New Guinea to Australia.

    Why does he keep relapsing? Who knows really? Stress? A desire to destroy himself and his ‘image’ of a former teen star? Surrounding himself with people who only like him for $$. Its very sad really. Reminds me of the wreck George Michael became.

  56. WorkHardBeNice says

    I really hope Zac Efron can get his act together. Except for his self-destructive tendencies, he seems like an ok guy and Lord knows Hollywood could use a few more nice guys.

  62. jimdanglesshorts says

    Zac Efron
    Not sure, probably the same old story: gorgeous underage male actor molested by Hollywood creeps.

  66. LilOne says

    Actor: Zac Efron

    Hope he gets the help he needs. His last Netflix show, showed how much he wants out of the Hollywood lifestyle

  71. fleurbisous13 says

    Zac Efron.
    He was filming in New Guinea and airlifted to Australia in December, and it was reported he contracted typhoid or some other kind of bacterial infection.

  73. JulientK says

    Awww. Poor Zac Efron.

    I don’t think he will ever get clean if he is in Hollywood. Too much pressure.

  74. JoshuaTree says

    Zac Efron, who has been in Australia and has allegedly fallen for some chick there. Probably OD’d in Thailand or some other country in SE Asia.

    Keeps relapsing cause he’s an addict and rolls with the wrong crowd. Hopefully The Rock has reached out to help Zac help himself.

  80. Pregolicious says

    Zac Efron! These celebs relapse because they have plenty of money for drugs. Why can’t they be more productive with their time?

  81. JacksHood says

    Zac Efron. Recovering from addition is H A R D. Staying recovered is even harder. I hope he succeeds. I wish him well.

  87. Midsomerfan says

    The only person I can think of is Zac Efron who has spent quite a bit of time in Australia lately, I believe.
    I don’t know what his situation is. I do however wish him well – our daughter who is now a senior in high school loved the ‘High School Musical’ movies when she was little!

  90. redbus says

    oh zac efron
    he was in new guinea filming and had to be rushed to australia..
    poor guy needs to be held accountable. he has too many people covering for him .

  92. IndieRaga says

    Zac Efron.
    Country 1: Papua New Guinea
    Country 2: Australia

    the “Greatest Showman” star contracted a “form of typhoid or similar bacterial infection” and had to be rushed to hospital in what was called a “life-or-death flight” to be treated by medical experts…..Was the excuse given.

    He’s surrounded by enablers using him to make money……that’s why keeps relapsing!

  93. Sandy24 says

    Zac Effron!

    He keeps relapsing because he’s in the closet and he’s starting to crack from living an inauthentic life. Be who you are Zac! Embrace yourself and the world will also!

  94. carriebradshaw says

    Zac Efron

    everybody who keeps relapsing needs a very long therapy, because their have massive problems that are a reason for the addiction , and not an addiction because they used some substances and got addicted.

  97. miss_tj says

    Zac Efron.

    He was shooting “Killing Zac Efron” in Papua New Guinea and apparently (according to his team) had typhoid related illness and was transferred to Australia.

    He’s still here living in Byron Bay and apparently fell in love with the country and also with a local girl who was working at cafe.

  98. Atika says

    Zac Efron staying Down Under!
    He relapses because he has a mental condition that when it is unrecognised or untreated he is of high risk for addictions etc. So the addiction is the symptom. Solving symptoms will only help for a short while. They need to look at his mental status!

  100. MommyPalooza says

    Zac Efron. Wow. I’m actually shocked, thought he was into clean living and saving the planet and everything. Addiction is tough and I really hope he gets better for good.

  114. pitbull says

    Actor: Handsome Zac Effron. Media was told he had contracted Typhoid Fever, and was transferred from New Guinea to Australia.

    He keeps relapsing because he CAN. No one is keeping clean. His team is paid to keep him HAPPY. That’s the problem with celebs…no tough love, and surrounded by yes people.

  120. Bunnie says

    Zac Efron, he was flown from Papua New Guinea to Australia. He relapses because he is an addict. He suffered from a “form of typhoid or similar bacterial infection.” They left out the cocaine OD.

  121. Rapunzel says

    Zac Efron! I’m also just reading that the show he was filming when he supposedly took ill was called “Killing Zac Efron.” Oy vey.

  124. chestyleroux says

    Zac Efron

    He keeps relapsing because he’s got a drug problem. That’s how it works, right?

    Super sad if it’s him. He’s such a talented guy and he’s still so young. I watched my brother descend into addiction and it was seriously the saddest thing I’ve ever experienced. He’s like a shadow of his former self. It just decimated his brain. Addiction is like emotional napalm for the person and everyone who loves them.

  125. TeaDrinker says

    Zac Efron

    Optional: He keeps relapsing because addiction is hard to kick. It’s not uncommon for some people to fall off the wagon but the amount of times they fall off varies from person to person.

  127. ssvching says

    Zac Efron! There’s been a recent headline about him wanting to get engaged and move to Australia in order to be closer to his girlfriend. The Johnny Depp incident in Australia is the hint.

    Optional: Some people seek the high and get bored when their lives are too easy/stable, until they hit rock bottom they won’t learn. Hopefully Zac will learn his lesson this time

  130. phillychick says

    Zac Efron and having to be sent to Australia to recover from injury while shooting his reality show

  131. tinygiraffe says

    Zac Efron, currently living in Australia after being airlifted there from Papua New Guinea.

    Hope he gets the help he needs!

  132. ncguti says

    Zac Efron

    Optional: I’ve been fortunate enough to not have dealt with addiction in any way, so my guess is as good as anyone’s. But either way, I wish him well. Addiction is not something easily overcome.

  133. swissquality says

    Zac Efron – happend while filming in Papua New Guinea and rushed to Australia.
    Currently “dating” former waitress turned now “It-Girl” Vanessa ….

    Get well, Zac!
    and if you don’t like your actual life, change it, come out and enjoy your freedom….

  135. stellavill says

    Zac Efron, Australia! He’s supposedly in love with a new girlfriend. Yup, and I’m the Queen of England!!

  139. Fifi53 says

    Zac Efron..

    Supposedly contracted a bacterial infection or a typhoid like disease in Papua New Guinea and was later transferred to Brisbane, Australia..the disease description was so vague.. Seriously, is there any Disney teenage star living a drug free normal life now?
