Know who we’re still jealous of? Ava Sambora. She’s just hit the jackpot – both her parents have now been arrested for DUI.
Following Richie Sambora‘s DUI arret in March, Ava’s mother Heather Locklear has gone and followed suit. According to reports, Heather Locklear was arrested for DUI on Saturday night after police found her parked on a motorway, blocking an entire lane.
However, it’s also been reported that alcohol wasn’t a factor in Heather Locklear’s arrest. That begs the question – what was Heather driving under the influence of? The best guess at the moment is that it was prescription medicine – but having seen Heather Locklear’s arrest mugshot we’re pretty sure that she was driving under the influence of either onions or the dark lord Satan.
But anyway, back to Heather Locklear’s daughter. She’s going to be in for a bumper Christmas, isn’t she? There’s nothing like parental guilt for amassing giant presents, and both her parents have plenty to be guilty about.
True, both Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora have been arrested for DUI within six months of each other, but they’ve both got their own individual reasons to feel stupid. Her father Richie Sambora should feel stupid because his daughter was in the car with him during his DUI arrest, and her mother Heather Locklear is probably feeling stupid because she appears to be in the middle of a giant mental and physical breakdown that she urgently needs to seek help for.
The signs have been there for a while, to be honest – not because of the way that Heather Locklear unconvincingly denied that story about her suicide attempt or her admission into rehab on the grounds of depression soon after, but because of the way that she let David Spade have it off with her. Urgh, David Spade.
And now all those warning signs seem to have come to fairly upsetting fruition – Heather Locklear has been arrested for DUI. But not any old DUI – potentially lethal DUI that appears to stem from the consumption of prescription medicine. The LA Times reports:
According to TMZ, alcohol was not a factor and the police believe she was on prescription medications. A resident reported Heather was “driving erratically” while pulling out of a parking lot. The California Highway Patrol say they found Locklear’s car parked on a state highway and it was blocking a lane.
After being tested for alcohol and drugs, Heather Locklear was released without bail. But, really, the arrest isn’t the important thing here – the important thing is the gradual deterioration of Heather Locklear’s condition. For God’s sake – things have got so bad for Heather that she’s now basically just copying Nicole Richie. That’s literally as bad as anything in this world can get.
Fingers crossed that Heather Locklear takes this arrest as her cue to seriously seek help to iron out her problems, for her daughter’s sake as much as her own. After all, would you really want a child of yours to be raised under the sole care of Richie Sambora from Bon Jovi? Of course you wouldn’t – the haircuts they’d receive alone would be enough to traumatise them permanently.
