INFOTAINMENT FOR THE PEOPLE OF EARTH SINCE 2006

Most Shocking Intervention Yet
Saturday, June 30, 2007

Intervention (A&E Fridays at 10pm) follows addicts of all kinds as they struggle through their daily lives. Each show follows one person who is battling some kind of addiction. At the end of the show, family members surprise the subject with a live-changing intervention in a last ditch effort to get them clean.

Last night's show was particulary shocking. Laney was left with millions of dollars after her and her ex-husband cashed in on the Dot Com boom. She had the perfect marriage, but past issues with men, including a brutal rape by an ex-boyfriend, ruined her marriage and prompted her to drink heavily. She's now living alone in a mansion in Kansas and drinks so much that her liver is functioning at only 20 percent. Her best friend is her cat, which she takes everywhere with her. When she visited family in New York, she spent $10,000 on a limo to get her and the cat back home.

As Laney's family planned an intervention, Laney hit rock bottom at her home. When producers of the show weren't looking, Laney downed a bottle of pills in a suicide attempt. Producers called 911 after realizing what she did and she was rushed to the hospital where she almost died. As her worried family visited her in her hospital bed, Laney denied taking the pills and blamed her own mother for her overdose, even though her mother wasn't even with her at the time.

Before getting out of the hospital, Laney heard that her family was planning an intervention. She had plans to skip town, but her family and interventionists showed up at her home to help her. Laney locked all of her doors and called the police on her own family, who were forced to spend hours waiting for her to come out of her house. They finally convinced her to go to rehab and she boarded a limo with her cat and drove cross country to a rehab in Florida. As soon as she arrived at rehab, Laney had second thoughts, but was finally convinced to get help.

Sadly, at the end of the show, we learn that Laney left rehab after only two days. She returned home and is running low on money. Since the intervention, her family has refused to talk to her.

Just a heart-breaking story. It proves that money really can't buy you happiness and that some people just can't be helped. This show has helped so many desperate people, but it seems Laney may be a lost cause.
