Get sober or get divorced!
Los Angeles Melanie Griffith, 52, star of the movie Working Girl, was given an ultimatum by husband of 13 years Antonio Banderas – get sober or get divorced! Banderas joins the ranks of families who are witnessing a loved one’s addiction and want them to stop their destructive behavior before it results in a DUI arrest in California.
According to Star Magazine, Griffith checked in this week at the Cirque Lodge facility in Utah for a 30 day stay at a cost of $26,00-$30,000 to detox from her alcohol addiction. The beautiful Cirque Lodge has hosted other celebrities – Lindsay Lohan and Kirsten Dunst. Drug and alcohol abuse is fairly common among celebrities, and unfortunately expected.
Multiple Drug Addiction Treatments
This isn’t Melanie Griffith’s first time in a rehab facility. In 1988, she was sent to a facility for alcohol and cocaine addiction, and in 2000 was sent there for abusing painkillers.
California Punishments for DUI
In case you weren’t aware of it, abusing painkillers and alcohol can land you in the slammer if you’re caught driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol (DUI). Although some states have different DUI laws, the most common one is a breathalyzer test. A score of .08 or higher can lead to an arrest for DUI in California. Depending on what number offense it is for you (first, second, third), your punishment can be jail time, a fine, community service, attendance at a driving class, loss of a driver’s license, and probation. You can read the DUI page at the California Department of Motor Vehicles webpage to learn more about the punishments for DUI in California.
Melanie’s punishment would be even worse – getting divorced from her hottie husband, Antonio Banderas.
