Eva Mendes Breaks From Rehab

She feels comfortable with her recovery or she really doesn’t like Kirsten Dunst. Either way, Eva Mendes is no longer a patient in the Cirque Lodge rehab clinic.

Just as Dunst checked herself in, the 33-year-old Ghost Rider star opted to end her stay - boarding a flight to Los Angeles shortly after 9pm (PST) on February 6th after spending a number of weeks in the facility.

At the time she checked into rehab, Eva’s rep said: “Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to pro-actively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support.”

So far, it’s still unknown as to which substance Mendes was battling. Nonetheless, hopefully this little stint will do the trick, allowing her to get back on track with her life - both personally and professionally.

Update: Eva’s rep has told press that she is returning to Cirque Lodge for further treatment. “Eva is attending to some personal business in Los Angeles and intends to return to complete her treatment shortly,” the actress’s rep said in a statement Thursday.
