Troubled Tatum O'Neal yesterday claimed she bought crack cocaine from a street dealer because she was upset at the death of her dog.
Tatum, 44, said: "There's no excuse for what I did. But I lost my Scottish terrier Lena three weeks ago. And that seemed to set me off.
"She got old. My daughter and I had to put her down. It was too horrible for words."

Tatum O'Neal also said:
"I couldn't get out of it. I was going to my psychiatrist. I was doing everything I could do. I have the disease of alcoholism. It's lifelong. I treat it every day by going to my 12-step program."

"I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the Seventh Precinct."
