HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) — Mindy McCready’s ex-boyfriend says she threatened to kill herself earlier this month after she lost custody of her sons, but was somehow released from rehab days before apparently following through on her threat.
Billy McKnight, a former longtime boyfriend who shares a son with the country singer, says the mother of two stayed in court-ordered substance-abuse rehabilitation for about 18 hours before checking out.
McKnight said Monday by phone from Tampa, Fla., that it was a “big mistake” to allow McCready to leave rehab, in light of her fiance David Wilson’s recent suicide and the loss of her children.
McKnight is working with authorities to get his son Zander out of foster care.
People close to her saw it coming and nobody tried to help?
She was found dead. Commited suicide.. rip.
isn’t this ex of hers the one who beat her up? and if anyone could see it coming why did the hospital release her? such a tragic event that didn’t need to happen…thankfully her boys are safe and were not there. My heart breaks for her family.
maybe roid rage i do not know anything about them it isa a shame that shes dead it really is god bless her
I’m sorry, but it was an incredibly selfish thing to do to her children. Prayers for them.
