Steve Granitz/WireImageNews that Demi Moore is seeking "professional assistance" for her health isn't music to anyone's ears, particularly her friends. Well, it is and it isn't.
"She is doing what she needs to do to take care of herself," said one Moore pal, über supportively.
But a different longtime colleague of the estranged wife of Ashton Kutcher wasn't so politic:
"Demi has come so far to do this now," lamented a well known celeb pal of Demi's. So is he saying that perhaps the famously sober star is not having the easiest time of it right now?
"Demi's been through it all, from a long time back," the friend continued, referring to Demi's wild 'n' crazy days before she settled down with second hubby Bruce Willis. "And I wish her nothing but success. I will always wish her that. I just hate to see her succumb to her troubles now."
The friend did not want to go on record saying what, exactly, it was about Demi's health that she was battling, only that he was "sorry to see it happen."
Sounds to me like Demi's got a lot on her mind besides a wayward third hubby and a shrinking frame.
Maybe she needs to straighten out those more personal demons before facing some others?
Her friend think so: "Just give her time to get herself together," he pleaded.
Sounds good to us.
