00:00 Well, I am so I was going to a wedding in Chile.

00:05 Friends of mine were their daughter was getting married in Chile.

00:07 So I planned to go down to fly from Miami.

00:10 And so I checked into the colony to make a long story short.

00:13 I had had rosé at lunch with my girlfriend.

00:17 We split a bottle of Whispering Angel, which is normal.

00:20 And then there was some people there that were fans.

00:22 So they sent me more rosé. So I drank more than I usually would.

00:27 Then we went to Julie's and on the way we stop and have not one martini, but two.

00:34 So by the time I get back to the colony, I was pretty sloshed.

00:37 And and then I don't know. I got to tell you Dr.

00:41 Oz. It's not something that I you know, that's kind of a regular kind of thing.

00:44 You know what I mean in terms of the drinking path that I was on.

00:48 So I almost think that somebody slipped me something

00:50 because I don't remember a thing after that.

00:53 I really don't a lot of what I know is recounted to me

00:57 because I was with a male friend of mine who I was dating before I met Tom.

01:02 And he hadn't been drinking and he told me exactly what happened.

01:05 So apparently I was being loud in the jazz club. They asked me to leave.

01:09 So I go, okay, fine. And I go up to my room with and Julie's with me as well.

01:12 So Julie stays at the bar gives me privacy.

01:15 There's a knock at the door. It's security. You're in the wrong room.

01:18 Are you by yourself in the know? I'm with the gentleman. You're in the wrong room.

01:22 I said, no, I'm not. This is my room.

01:25 So the guy goes, is this your room? I said, yeah, of course is my room.

01:28 He goes, is that your Blackberry? I said, of course, it's my Blackberry.

01:30 I don't own a Blackberry. Oh, that's really a mess.

01:34 So so anyway. So now the security is telling me I have to leave and I said, no, it's my room.

01:43 I was an admit that it was my room. Don't ask me why, but I was.

01:47 And so they called the police. So then he got nervous.

01:50 He got very nervous for me. He went down to to get Julie.

01:56 And by the time he got he got back, I was in handcuffs.

02:01 It's just the craziest thing. If one thing it was like the perfect storm,

02:04 if one thing had gone differently, I probably it probably would not have happened to me.

02:08 But I'm well, I will get to that. But I'm glad it did, because it was a major wake up call for me.

02:14 So you were charged with battery on an officer disorderly.

02:17 You know, disorderly, that's for sure. Intoxication. Totally.

02:22 Resisting arrest. Yes, it's all true.

02:25 It's ridiculous, but it's true. And I feel so terrible because it's so not me.

02:30 You know, I've been on the show for 10 years. Dr.

02:32 As you know me, you see me socially. I mean, I took a tumble in Mexico.

02:36 That's why I was happy. I took a tumble on tequila.

02:43 But yeah, I it's not me. You know, I'm a nurse.

02:47 I did a fundraiser for the Red Cross. I just can't believe it.

02:51 But you know, it was a major wake up call for me that I was in a position.

02:57 Where I treated someone like a police officer.

02:59 Where I have the most utmost respect for, you know, that way is just.

03:05 I'm beside myself. I'm horrified. I'm embarrassed.

03:09 I'm, you know, ashamed, you know, it's it was to,

03:14 you know, be thrown in jail was just the most horrifying thing that's ever happened to me.

03:20 And I could there was, you know, to be totally out of control like that

03:24 and not be able to hand yourself. That's when I said, you know what?

03:29 I need to go to to rehab and take care of myself.

03:32 And I just had for me personally. I had no choice.

03:35 It was like, you know what you're doing this. I knew I was on a highway to hell.

03:40 I knew I was and I even say it on the show.

03:42 I'm talking to Bethany and Asina and I said, you know, I think I need to go to a spa

03:46 and she was talking to me about going to a spa and it comes up

03:49 and because you know, I was just drinking too much

03:51 and I was using it really to self-medicate and not really looking or dealing with my emotions.

03:58 So let's talk about this a little bit. So this is your Twitter apology.

04:02 This is the first time in Palm Beach since my wedding

04:05 and being here brought up long buried emotions.

04:08 I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone. I may have offended with my behavior.

04:11 I'm committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018.

04:14 The person was very self-aware. I must commend you that you wrote this this Twitter post

04:20 because most people won't acknowledge long buried emotions as a root cause of a problem.

04:24 Yes, yours weren't even buried that long.

04:27 Well, I had a lot of burials. I mean, you know, my first marriage was a killer for me.

04:32 I checked I checked into Deepak Chopra for two weeks after the end of my first marriage,

04:36 which was devastating for me devastating never got over that really

04:40 and and then what else hmm? There was a car accident.

04:47 I tumbled down a mountainside with the two children in the car in Switzerland,

04:51 and I thought I killed myself and my children. I really did.

04:53 I thought I was going to be dead. It was really rough.

05:00 I'm sorry. I need a Kleenex now.

05:05 And then best I can do such a gentleman and then and then I think you know,

05:16 the this last thing just did it for me.

05:19 I just cracked. I just cracked. I don't know how what happened.

05:23 I just cracked and but it's all good now.

05:31 I want to thank you for being honest because the biggest lies we tell the ones we tell ourselves.

05:37 Yeah, and the fact that you can get it all out is a big first step.

05:42 Yeah, it's big.

05:44 Thank you for watching. Don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications.

05:47 You never miss out on new videos to live the good life.
