from www.thehollywoodgossip.com – Following what her family has described as an accidental overdose of prescription pills, former tennis star Jennifer Capriati is recovering in a Florida hospital.
That’s very good news.
Meanwhile, Capriati’s ex-boyfriend has spoken out on what he believes are the two reasons her life has taken a turn for the worse these days: the fact that Jennifer misses tennis; and that he has returned to the adult film business.
Indeed, Dale DaBone dated Capriati from 2003-2009. He told TMZ she often gets depressed during a Grand Slam tournament because she misses playing and blames injuries for her abbreviated career. (The opening week of Wimbledon wrapped up over the weekend.)
DaBone also says Capriati called him Sunday night, presumably after her overdose, and was “hysterical” over his decision to star in Batman XXX: A Porn Parody.
The flick would mark DaBone’s return to the world of adult entertainment, as he’s had intercourse with women in over 440 movies. There must be some joke about tennis and balls in there, but due to Capriati’s situation, it doesn’t feel appropriate to make.
from www.tmz.com – Jennifer Capriati’s ex-boyfriend says he believes two big things went down in her life that caused her to accidentally OD on prescription drugs — his return to porn and her depression over tennis.
Dale DaBone dated Jen from 2003-2009 — if DaBone sounds like a porn star name … that’s because it is — and DaBone has 443 films under DaBelt.
DaBone claims Jen got horribly depressed every time a grand slam event went down. Interestingly, the OD occurred Sunday, during the time Wimbledon was on. Jen would always complain she was forced out of tennis because of injuries and began taking prescription meds.
But there’s something else that DaBone says sent Jen on a downward spiral — his recent return to porn … something Jen despised. DaBone signed on with Vivid Entertainment to star in “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody.”
DaBone tells TMZ after Jen OD’d, he called her in the hospital Sunday night and she was “hysterical” over his decision to return to XXX films.
But DaBone says he doesn’t believe Jen would try and kill herself.
