Fired from Lost for alcoholism.

On Dec. 1, 2005, both Michelle and Cynthia were cited in Hawaii (where Lost was filmed) for driving under the influence. Michelle had already served time for DUI and been arrested three times for speeding in Hawaii while filming the show. While producers claimed her character Ana-Lucia was only ever intended to be on the show for a year and was about to get killed off anyway, it was quite the coincidence that she got the heave-ho in the same episode as Cynthia.

Been there done that and normal drinkers don't get DUI's. It seems like they really cleaned house at Lost though. It sounds like the booze was flowing on that set! 🤣

a dui doesn't mean she was an alcoholic

Sometimes. But being fired over a DUI, and with another cast member, definitely indicates a problem.

I dunno, I'll bet you on it. This woman has a drinking problem.
