"My poor mother has to look at that picture of me," Lisa, 42, explained to GMA through tears. "That doesn't look like me! That's not me!"
Lisa said she was "absolutely not" abusing drugs in the mug shot photo, saying, "There is nothing I was on or abusing at the time."
In fact, Lisa says she is three months sober and admits to having had a drinking problem. In 2010, she was arrested and charged with a DUI. The actress says she faced a terrible loss that caused her to turn to alcohol.
“I had lost a baby, as a result of that, I lost everything,” she said. “And I was abusing alcohol, which I no longer do. With That '70s Show, I was guilty — of the drinking problem — and I ran. And I am not running from this. And I have paid my dues.”
