Concerns for Heather Locklear’s welfare recently resurfaced when a disturbing paparazzi picture obtained by The Post showed the actress displaying erratic behavior in California after she had an undisclosed appointment on June 29.
Prior to now, Locklear had openly battled substance abuse and mental health challenges, but she sought help and gained sobriety. However, her recent public appearance shows that the actress might be back to these bad habits as she was pictured looking haggard, unstable, and unkempt.

In the photo, the six-time Golden Globe nominee appeared to read aloud from a journal she had opened on her lap while seated on the outdoor steps. Also, in another picture, Locklear was looking unkempt while aggressively looking at something in the book before she closes it abruptly and descended the stairs while muttering words to herself.

Her behaviors in distressing photo reels have sparked growing concerns among friends and family, who are of the opinion that the actress may have resumed drinking.
Netizens react to the news
A worried user reacted to the news on Twitter and couldn’t help but ask what happened to the actress’s sobriety journey. “How old is this? I thought I read she was happy, well, and back together with her old HS boyfriend,” the user questioned.
Another user also commented on how things have unfolded for Locklear since she appeared in Melrose Place. “I loved “Melrose Place” and consider it one of my all-time favorite shows. However, I personally associate her more with “Dynasty.” In her prime, she exuded a breathtaking beauty that captivated audiences. She portrayed the ideal archetype of an antagonist on a soap opera, with just the right amount of wickedness,” the user laments. “This is sad to see. Shows that money isn’t everything, 61 isn’t old. I wish her the best.”
