Okay, I have a problem, and people here probably aren't going to react too well, but anyway... Mischa was always one of those celebrities who could be a good example to everyone, and she was someone I looked up to, because I didn't look at a tabloid and see her doing something stupid. Then the DUI thing happened. In most cases, I have no respect for people who do that, whether it was bad judgement or not. They could kill someone, or themselves, and sometimes they do. I know that Mischa's a good person and she's genuinely sorry for what she's done. And I know that she's not like Paris or Lindsay, even though the majority of people are grouping her with them. But I also know that driving drunk is never an intelligent idea. It really shocked me when I first heard it, because she was a role model to me and she was one of the last celebrities I would expect to do something like that. I think it's great that Mischa was sorry and made sure everyone knew it, rather than hyping it up for publicity like some other celebrities would do. But I don't come on these forums nearly as often and I just don't look at her the same way anymore. I'm still going to support Mischa, and despite the way I feel about drink driving I'm not going to abandon her now, because she's dealt with it in a way that's actually classy. But I just don't feel the way I used to about her, and neither do a few other people I know. I'm not giving up on her, but even if people downplay what happened to her I can't see her as a role model as much anymore. I know some people are going to react badly to everything I just said but I had to get that off my chest.

Yeah, I'm still supporting her, and I know she's making up for it and that she's sorry. But she was driving around L.A. while drunk, and honestly, she could have killed herself or someone else, or at the very least damaged her reputation, which it what's happened. A lot of people I know just think of her like they do with Lindsay, or Paris, now she's been arrested.

Oh, hun, of course what's happened is going to change the way we all look at Mischa from now on. To me, it's made her even more real, because she's shown that she's not perfect and infallible, and I've even more respect for her now because of the way she's coping with it.
And as for doing what she did, well, I know a fair bit about getting drunk (no, make that VERY drunk...) and doing silly things. And the thing is, when you're drunk, you don't think you are - you think you're fine and still perfectly in control, and that's why people do end up doing things like DUI. Sure, Mischa has to take a lot of responsibility for what happened, but the ones I'm really disappointed in are her friends who let her drive in that kind of condition. If they knew she was in that condition, and were real friends, they'd have stopped her driving and called her a cab instead.
I just hope that everything goes OK for her on the 28th, and they don't choose to make an example of her simply because she's a celebrity.

I understand hun, everyone can have there opinion, i may not agree with it but i understand. one of the main reasons that i loved mischa so much was because she was one of the 'responcible' people of hollywood, one of the 'good girls'. But when she had the DUI problem, i will admit i was taken back. People now asked me why i idolised her but before there was no need to explain. I agree with jo though, and she seems so much more real to me. I respect your feelings though, but i still love her for who she is and i know she is going to resolve this. Shes still the same mischa as she was before the DUI to me. but hey, everyone is different. ill never stop supporting meesh.

I'm still supporting Mischa, as I said several times. There's no use in implying otherwise. In my opinion, someone going for a drive while wasted doesn't make them 'more real' to me, but I see where you're coming from. I realise she's apologised. Mischa's a person. I never saw her as infallible or some kind of mystical wonder in the first place.
I don't think she's going to get off with a very light sentence, as much as I would like her to. If my next door neighbour did the same thing, he'd go to jail for quite a while. I don't get why celebrities should be any different.

i so agree with u, hun. even though i'm afraid people here will get angry don't get me wrong, i still like mischa. she's a beautiful and talented actress. but you can't say that the DUI incident was "nothing". it was just immature and irresponsible, even if it's meesh. i'm sure that L.A. and that stuff influenced the whole thing, but mischa acted on her own. she's an adult person after all. plus, i guess you can't blame her friends coz we REALLY don't know what happened that night before (maybe they tried to help her, none of us knows! maybe they wanted to bar her from driving but mischa didn't want their help coz she was drunk, as you're a different person then) and such things really can't happen to anyone in the world. people tell you all the time, that you mustn't drive when you're drunk. but mischa did it even so... the thing is, mischa (who's in the spotlight all the time) can't do things like that. if she was an ordinary girl who wasn't well-known she could do it and nobody would care, but since she's famous and a role model for many people she simply can't you can't say that it's just a little mistake, just because it's her. it could be that she'll never be accepted as a serious actress due to the DUI...(of course i hope this won't happen, trust me!) and guys no offence, but i really don't like it when people say "that's not mischa", "she would never act like that". i just have to say... does anybody of us know her in person? NO. all the stuff we know is just her public life. none of us knows her private life... i agree.

I don't get why celebrities should be any different. nothing different with celebrities...its just like every country has own laws!!maybe she did that in Germany she would be in jail allready but if the laws says she dosent need to go to jail till the court in US its not especially for celebrities its just for every one over there..and i remind u again that this is the first time she did a mistake like that so...everyone is allready sad enought about this hun,so if u have afeelings on that way i m sorry but just keep it for urself atleast till the court day...dont make us feeleven worst..thank you

...seriously?
It's my opinion, I'm not going to shut myself up to make other people feel better, particularly when it comes to opinions on celebrities. I didn't say I was waiting here, desperate for Mischa to get thrown in jail for fifty years. I said idiots like Paris Hilton shouldn't have served 4 days out of a 40-day sentence. Honestly, I'm sick of arguing this when you seem to be skipping over what I said and just repeating yourself.

Guys, please, can we just calm it a little here???
Right now is becoming quite a stressful time for us as devoted fans of Mischa. Not only do we have the thought of what could happen to her on the 28th, but there's also all the uncertainly as to what's going off in her personal life and how we each feel about that. Up to now, this forum has been a really friendly place, and I'd hate for that to change now.
I don't want to have to start getting heavy and doing things like suspending people, but if it should come to it, I will do so (reluctantly). Please try to remember that everyone here has an opinion, and that opinion is as valid as your own. So please try to show as much respect for other people's opinions as you'd expect them to show for your's. Having a rational discussion and arguing your corner politely is perfectly fine, and I'd expect nothing less from you all, as you're all rational and intelligent people. What I really don't want to see is things descending into the kind of hostile "flame wars" you see all too often on so many other forums. I know we've not reached that stage yet, but I thought I'd better act now, as I can see that this thread has the potential to start heading that way if we're not careful.
Remember - As much as we're all proud of Mischa and what she's achieved, I'm sure we'd all want her to be proud of us as fans if she ever stopped by here to read our posts.
OK?
OK!

Hakan, hun - I'm not having a go at anyone in particular here. But things seemed to be getting a bit heated, and I just wanted to remind everyone that we're all here for the same basic reason, but that we also all have our own views on things and need to be aware of that.
So please don't you (or anyone else) feel that I'm having a go at you in particular, and please don't feel that you have to stop talking about this subject. But maybe we should give this particular thread a bit of a rest for a little while, so that everyone has a chance to calm down and think about things a bit more before posting again?? I think that would be a good idea, don't you?

lol, this is ridiculous. I reckon the thread should be locked in case anyone freaks out. I don't want to take it that far, hun, and I hope I don't have to - But it did seem as though emotions were starting to run a little high, and I'd hate for any of us to fall out over this, as I'm sure Mischa would too - I'm sure that's the last thing she'd ever want to see, don't you think???. We're all here because we love Mischa, and what's happened has naturally changed the way we all look at her in different ways. And, of course, because we live all over the world, we have different experiences of what happens to people when they're caught DUI. In some countries, that means mandatory jail time, in others, you get a big fine and a long ban, and in others, while you theoretically should go to jail, the jails are so overcrowded that most people never actually serve any time - or have to go on a waiting list to serve their time. And that's what we need to remember - we all come from different cultures, with different laws and values, and that's always going to influence how we look at events like these. I'm going to leave this thread open for now, but the mods and I will be keeping an eye on things and, if they start to get heated again, then we may well lock it until people calm down again. But maybe we should all just agree to disagree on this and let the thread die of it's own accord?? Does that sound fair to you??
