Scott Weiland, lead singer for Velvet Revolver and Stone Temple Pilots, had a bit of domestic issue over the weekend. His wife, suffering from a bipolar disorder, blames an imbalance in her medication for her blowout over the weekend and subsequent arrest.
“For lack of a better expression I was unstable and just ‘lost it,’ ” Mary Weiland, 41, said in a statement Wednesday.
After allegedly torching $10,000 worth of Scott’s menswear outside of their California home on Saturday, Mary Weiland was arrest and booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism.
“The weekend’s difficulties were brought on by a reaction to an imbalance in medications used to treat my bipolar disorder,” Mary Weiland says. “Scott was simply trying to help calm me down. I want to make it very clear that he did not hurt me in any way.”
Weiland and his wife have now returned home to care for their children who did not witness the altercation as they had been staying with a family members on the night in question.
“Scott and I are very involved in our children’s lives on a daily basis and we love them unconditionally,” says Mary Weiland.
“After nearly seven years of marriage,” says Mary Weiland, “I am truly grateful to have a loving husband, drug-free for 3 1/2 years now, who is able to care for me during this challenging time.”
The Weilands are in the process of moving to Los Angeles from their Toluca lake home. The couple still hopes to make the move together.
The other day I reported that upon arrival in LA Britney Spears promptly went to a hair salon and shaved off her own hair and that she was acting like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Well, I didn’t have the whole story at that time. Apparently she was upset shortly after arriving at the Miami International Airport on her way back to LA because she almost missed her flight.
On Saturday, Marcheline Bertrand, the mother of Angelina Jolie passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
