MALIBU, CALIFORNIA: In recent news, there has been growing concern for the adored Heather Locklear after an odd series of incidents took place in Malibu, California, last Thursday, June 29. It all happened when the well-known 'Melrose Place' actress attended a one-hour private meeting. Witnesses gasped when they saw Locklear acting strangely and erratically outside an office building.
She was seen talking to herself while perched precariously on a ledge, further adding to the unsettling situation. Wearing a pair of flip-flops and clinging to pillars for support, the TV actor, whose struggles with addiction and mental health concerns have been well-documented, was observed attempting to balance along the edge of an office building. Concerned friends claim that after multiple stints in rehab, the troubled Locklear may have resumed drinking, as reported by Daily Mail.
Is Heather Locklear OK?
About one o'clock in the afternoon, Locklear was seen being dropped off by a man believed to be her fiancé, veteran motocross racer Chris Heisser, for a one-hour appointment that was kept a secret. Locklear kept Heisser waiting in his car after she left the building, ran across the street, and was observed walking along the ledge of the building. The 'Melrose Place' actress, dressed in army fatigue trousers and an off-the-shoulder T-shirt, spent some time sitting at the top of a staircase, reading from a journal and talking to herself while appearing distraught.
The actress could be seen appearing perplexed as she sat at the top of the stairs, reading from her private journal. At one point, she forcefully shoved the diary back into her handbag while gesturing animatedly and pointing angrily at something written in the journal. Locklear appeared frightened as she balanced herself by gripping onto pillars to avoid a potential fall into the dumpster and parking lot below.

Locklear's fiancé, Chris Heisser, patiently waited in their SUV, allowing her some space for over an hour during her strange ordeal. Eventually, Locklear got into the car, and they drove off. Given Locklear's well-documented struggles with mental health and addiction, friends and acquaintances are understandably concerned about her well-being. The distressing episode has raised concerns about a possible relapse, especially considering Locklear's previous engagement with therapy.
Heather Locklear’s drug abuse history
Locklear initially gained recognition on 'Dynasty,' but it was her role alongside William Shatner in 'T.J. Hooker' the following year that propelled her career to new heights. Her notable performance on 'Melrose Place' solidified her position in the public eye. However, it is worth noting that her acting career wasn't the sole focus of media attention. Locklear has faced personal challenges, including a history of substance abuse, and has reportedly sought rehabilitation on more than 20 occasions.
Locklear faced a series of challenges in 2019, including being hospitalized due to a potential overdose, undergoing months of rehabilitation, and being arrested following an alleged attack on a police officer and an EMT who responded to a disturbance call. According to a source cited by People at the time, "She has been to rehab more than 20 times, perhaps 25 times. These people are really rich, they pay for detoxes. So a lot of it has been that."
The source continued, stating, "Heather’s problem is she doesn’t get serious about anything. She was continuing to drink. Her issue is alcohol, pills, and her mental health. She doesn’t want anybody to hold her accountable. She has no job, nothing to keep her accountable. This has been tearing up her family. It’s been an ongoing issue for many many years. It has been horrible for Ava."
Tabloid headlines have often highlighted Locklear's romantic life, with public curiosity surrounding her tumultuous relationships. These include her troubled marriage to Tommy Lee of 'Motley Crue,' her challenging marriage to Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, as well as her affair with 'Melrose Place' co-star Jack Wagner.
In 2020, it was revealed that Locklear had accepted Heisser's proposal, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. This came three years after they rekindled their romance, following Locklear's period of rehabilitation and recovery. Since then, they have been in a steady and committed relationship. Locklear and Heisser, who were initially high school sweethearts at Newbury Park High School in the late 1970s, experienced various marriages and challenges before reuniting in the fall of 2017. It has been reported that Locklear's daughter, Ava, played a crucial role in supporting her mother's journey towards sobriety in 2019, offering unwavering support throughout the process.
