The Real Reason You Don’t Hear About Yasmine Bleeth Anymore

She was fired from her most iconic role

Speaking to Esquire magazine in 2012, Baywatch producer Douglas Schwartz revealed that Bleeth was let go from the show after four seasons due to her drug habits and relationship drama. She “was doing drugs at the time,” he said (via Us Weekly). “And so we were dealing with Yasmine not showing up and having difficulties, again with men. That’s why we let Yasmine go off the show: because it was too difficult to deal with her after awhile.”

Recovery is a lifelong battle

After hitting rock bottom, Bleeth decided to sober up for good, but the road to recovery is one that never really ends. She admitted this much while discussing the early days of her recovery with Glamour in 2003. “Because cocaine is more mentally than physically addicting, many circumstances trigger my desire for it. So consciously trying to stay off drugs is now part of my life, and it always will be,” she said (via Baywatch TV).
