GETTING HELP

Throughout the years the actress has been very vocal and open about her struggles with substance abuse. In 2019, Jamie Lee Curtis spoke with Variety magazine about her history with opioid abuse.

In the interview she shared that she first got addicted to opioids after she had routine plastic surgery to remove puffiness from her eyes.

“They gave me Vicodin as a painkiller for something that wasn’t really painfulsh”, the actress said at the time.

She also opened up about how she kept her addiction a secret for some time and was able to work in spite of it, however Jamie ultimately decided to seek treatment after reading an article in Esquire about writer Tom Chiarella’s addiction to painkillers titled, “Vicodin, My Vicodin”.
