When I first saw the report on TMZ that Brooke Mueller had left rehab I assumed it was because she needed a fix. While she may in fact be in dire need of a fix the reason she left is because someone who works at the rehab facility was trying to sell Brooke's admission documents to media outlets. The documents go into great detail exactly why Brooke was in rehab. I would imagine that all media outlets would run away from actual documents. Gossip is great and if you can find out why someone is in rehab from their friends or family that to me is fair game. They shared it with people who are free to share it or not with others. However, when you start talking about the doctors or other staff at a hospital sharing medical information then I think that is wrong and I applaud TMZ for walking away from the documents and not trying to buy them.
HIPPA violation???? anyone?
ReplyDeleteIt's also illegal and under HIPPA regulations both the facility AND the individual can be fined tens of thousands of dollars by the federal government. Not something you want to get caught doing.
ReplyDeleteSo wrong. I also read that CPS made a late night visit to Charlie's house over the weekend. Related?
ReplyDeleteComplete BS for her. She tries to get better and the place she is doing this makes things worse. I hope fines and prison time is involved.
ReplyDeletewow, harvey levin is above something?
ReplyDeletethats surprising. but good.
Hahaha @ Julie!
ReplyDeleteILLEGAL!
ReplyDeleteharvey has walked away from a lot of stuff the past few years.
ReplyDeleteYes it's wrong and illegal but Brooke is not a celebrity so I really don't care about her or her sobriety, recovery, addiction etc.
ReplyDeleteNot that I care about Charlie either.
Anyway, Happy Mondy Enty.
That's Happy "MONDAY"
ReplyDeleteJust when you think you've seen the bottom of the barrel, a little scraping reveals even more.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to be human.
Most rehabs only have ex addicts working for them. Tmz paid over 65k dollars for the photo of Rhianna after her beating. Some underpaid flunky who is an addict saw her file or had access to it, copied it and started to peddle it around town and Harvey Levin wants people to think he's a decent person so he made it public.
ReplyDeleteIt's the ugly side of fame, or in this case being married to someone who has accomplished something and is famous.
At least Tmz is sending a message that they won't pay for rehab documents, this time.
definitely a HIPPA violation. it really makes me angry. it's hard enough to get people to go to rehab as it is.
