If the rumors are false then Culkin has been the victim of vicious lies and innuendo, and he needs to take action to find the source of the rumors and stop them. Recent reports and anonymous sources have stated that Macaulay Culkin has a chronic substance abuse problem with both heroin and hallucinogenic drugs. Some of the reports state that the child actor has 6 months or less to live, but Culkin denies all aspects of the rumors. He insists that he is not addicted to these substances and that the reports are completely false.
The rep who spoke for Macaulay Culkin made a statement to the press. According to the rep any reports that Culkin is an addict are “not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious. We beseech the responsible media to consider the source and its reputation and to please not perpetuate this destructive and insulting story by pursuing it any further.” Since the source of the reports and stories has chosen not to come forward and identify themselves it is difficult to determine whether Culkin actually needs substance abuse treatment or not. If a heroin addiction is causing Macaulay Culkin to self destruct then a high end rehab may be the best possible move for the star. Since the reports and rumors have started the public will be keeping an eye on Culkin, and time will tell whether the source of this information is legitimate or if someone is just trying to get back at the star for some reason.
