In a statement to People magazine, Heather said, “I am feeling great and am taking steps to enrich and better my life. Currently I am working on tying up some loose ends regarding certain issues so I can hit 2017 full steam ahead.”

Those loose ends may be in reference to Heather’s long struggle with drug and alcohol abuse. In 2012, she was hospitalized, after reportedly mixing alcohol and prescription medication. She also completed a 30-day rehab program in 2010, and before that, had been treated for anxiety and depression back in 2008.
