Poor Heather Locklear – beautiful though she is, she been through quite a bit in the past few years. And, I am not even talking about the seven years she was married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee – that must have been taxing in and of itself! Heather, the perennial blond surfer girl, seemed happy when she married Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora in 1994. The two had a daughter, Ava, and appeared to be one of the happiest couples in Hollywood.
That is until the rumors started. Was Richie involved with Heather’s BFF Denise Richards before the marriage ended? He was certainly involved with her after the divorce was filed (although that relationship soon went down in flames). In May 2007, 46-year-old Heather became romantically involved with an old friend – Jack Wagner from “Melrose Place.”
But, there is something not quite right going on. In March 2008, there a 911 call was placed on the behalf of Heather by a man claiming to be her doctor. He told the authorities that Heather was at home and he suspected she might try to attempt suicide. Heather Locklear? – a woman who has remained beautiful through all these years and never seems to lack for television work. The authorities arrived at Heather’s home, but left shortly thereafter, saying that once they arrived at the home, she appeared to be fine. Heather’s publicist downplayed the event, saying that she never requested medical attention.
This week, Heather’s publicist confirmed that the actress has checked into a medical facility in Arizona for psychological issues, which included anxiety and depression. Close friends say that despite the less than pleasant breakup, Richie Sambora has vowed to help Heather through this difficult time. He is in England right now, but plans to return to the States soon to be with his daughter and help Heather if she needs it.
