Famed party gal, DJ, Twitter personality and porn director Chi Chi LaRue, a.k.a. Larry David Paciotti, announced via Facebook this morning that she’s giving up the sauce, hopefully for good this time.
It’s been well known around the industry that Chi Chi has had occasional problems with alcohol, and she’s gotten sober before a couple of times, done AA, and fallen off the wagon.
This morning in L.A., as she explains in the video, there was an intervention, and she filmed the message apparently in the car as she was being driven to the airport. She says she’ll be going into the famed addiction treatment facility in Hazelden, Minnesota where Liza Minnelli, Calvin Klein and others have done sober stints. As Gawker puts it, as celebrity rehabs go, it’s not super cush. “They offer spiritual and fitness advisers along with rehab counseling, but that’s as frou-frou as it gets.”
“To all my friends that showed up today, for my intervention,” Chi Chi says, choking up, “Thank you. I love you all very much. So, stay with me. Stay a part of my life for a while, and I’ll be giving you updates if I can.”
Here’s the full video.
Get well soon, lady!
Holy Christ
Must really suck to be as big as a whale, loose all that weight and end up a drunk.
klassy.
That comment aside, it’s not uncommon for someone after they have had gastric bypass surgery to hop from one addiction (food) to another and working in bars in clubs all the time doesn’t help.
(1) She’s working on whatever the issue is, and it is far to early to predict how she will “end up.” (2) It would be better to end up a drunk with many who support her and love her than to end up an evil soul, as your comment reveals you to be. (3) It would be especially dire to be both an evil soul and an embarrassingly well-exposed idiot setting loose one’s bitterness upon an ill peer (which you likely are not, in truth) like setting loose a hound on an injured hare. Lose your superiority and loose your hound on your own flaws.
Wow, very best of luck to you. I’m working on this issue, myself. Nothing is tougher…
i don’t know here, never met her but i wish her well out of gratitude for the great porn she has given us and the many fine hot models she introduced to us (drek riviero, a hot black guy whose name i can’t remember etc)
Love you Chi Chi!!!!
Be strong, Larry.
