Los Angeles: Hollywood star Demi Moore has been rushed to hospital after reportedly suffering from exhaustion.
A female friend was at Moore’s home Monday night when the 49-year-old actress started “shaking” and “acting like she was suffering from a seizure”.
The friend then called 911 and about 30 minutes after paramedics arrived Moore was taken to the hospital. Moore’s representative issued a statement saying, “Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”
However, celebrity website TMZ reported that the ‘Margin Call’ star was taken to the Los Angeles-area hospital for substance abuse. Moore’s representative declined to comment on the TMZ report, saying, “We have no information beyond our statement.”
Her representative also confirmed that the star has dropped out of the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace, in which she had been cast as feminist icon Gloria Steinem.
Moore and her estranged husband Ashton Kutcher announced plans to divorce in November 2011. (PTI)
