Eva Mendes Refuses To Confirm Or Deny Rehab Trip

July 8, 2008 - Eva Mendes

It has been months after she reportedly checked into a rehab but actress Eva Mendes still won't confirm or deny it.

In a new interview with Interview magazine, the "Hitch" star addresses her rehab trip in January but refuses to verify or disprove the reports.

She says, "There are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge. But I don't care what people think. I just don't care. So I will neither confirm nor deny it."

However, the 34-year-old actress actually feels better when there are more lies on the stories about her than truth.

She explains, "But for all the stuff that came out a few months ago about substance abuse, there were so many wrong stories. I was so happy about that, because it's when they get the real scoop that would make me really nervous... You want it to be a lie, because when it's true, that's when I'd be like, 'Oh, my God!' It's time to rethink who's in your circle, because stuff got out."

It was reported in January that the actress entered the rehab in Utah to battle a substance abuse problem for several weeks.
