Bijou Phillips knows the history of psychiatry, you don’t!

January 23rd, 2009 // 162 Comments

In a recent interview with Paper Magazine, Scientologist Bijou Phillips went off on psychiatric medication, basically telling everybody with depression to just man up. Us Weekly reports:

“My grandparents didn’t take any pills, and they were fine,” Phillips said in the February issue of Paper. “Just buck up and get over it. Stop being such a f—king pansy.”

The budding actress frequents Scientology-sponsored events and spoke out against psychiatry and prescribing patients with medication for such mental illnesses as depression or anxiety.

Yeah, I usually find the best treatment for people with depression is to call them a fucking pansy as well. Because no amount of medication or psychiatric help can compete with just telling somebody to stop being depressed. It works for other things too. Just the other day I saw a guy running around on fire screaming for help and I was like “Hey, quit it!” So then he fell to the ground, stopped moving, and the fire eventually went out. I never saw him again once the paramedics pulled the white sheet over his face, but I bet he’s doing great now.

    Papa John. It really was a great book. The story of a rags to riches folk singer who hit the psychadelic 60′s, becomes a multi-millionaire on acid, blows the money – literally – on coke, then stoopes to become a Keith Richards level heroin addict. Instead of spending the rest of his life in jail because of a fraud perscription drug racket, he weasels his way into rehab and “community service”, then gives up heroin for alcohol and drinks himself to death – literally – after a liver transplant. The grandparents? A Marine Corps officer who won a bar in a poker game and a Cheokee Indian. No predespotion for alcohol abuse there. One half-sister is following in her fathers footsteps, and is still doing blow and horse. Another half sister is surprisingly normal for being married to a Baldwin.

    Now who is this tart? Oh, she was in a movie called “Tart”. What else … Hostel pt2. Went to rehab at age 14. Was in a 4 year relationship with Sean Lennon, only to cheat on him with his best friend. One album in 1999, now “working” on a 2nd one. What a way to spend a decade.

    Another Scientolo-loon.

    Who cares.

    I can’t believe no one’s mentioned here that this is Danny Masterson’s gf. So it’s really all Hyde’s fault.

    I take antidepressants and have dealt with people like this before and it drives me crazy…no pun intended. I am really glad to see that so many people are angered by her comments as much as I am. Your outrage means a lot to me…really.

    It’s amazing how these cult-freak, bizarro world celebrities are so clueless and out of touch with the real world. Hey celebrities WE HATE SCIENTOLOGY AND HEARING YOU BLAB ABOUT IT MAKES US HATE YOU!!!!!!!

    I’m so sick of seeing these weirdos trotted in front of a camera as if they’re something we should all aspire to be…This cunt was a drug addict slut in the 90′s, the Paris Hilton of her era…and now she thinks she’s going to spew L. Wrong Hubbard’s wacky bullshit at America and we’ll listen to her.

    Go die, celebrities…all of you. You’re weird and you suck.

    Why are all the hot ones insane? I bet she’s a fantastically amazing fuck…but not good for much else. Sweetie, what are you doing reading and studying things and saying opinions? You’re gonna hurt yourself with a book, honey…Just wear a low cut top when you’re out in public, smile nice and pretty and KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you. You suck.

    wow.. yeah, she’s out of line saying that depressed people are “fucking pansies”.. but really, she’s no worse than some of you people on here. Some of you want to see her get gang raped, set on fire? She just has more of a venue for her opinions to be broadcasted to the public.
    ALL scientologists believe these ridiculous claims.. she isn’t any worse. She’s just a chick whose been through hell in her life and is latching onto anything… ie: Christianity? There are some christians that believe dinosour (I know my spelling is crap) bones were put in the ground by god to test our faith. Really people. Lighten up.

  12. I know what will cure me of my depression when I see her naked in all his films! Why not watch people do it or do it yourself!
