Is Mischa Barton being tailed by a “sober coach”?

Reports claim that producers on her new show, “The Beautiful Life,” have hired a sober coach to follow Barton after her recent stint at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was hospitalized under involuntary psychiatric hold.

This story comes on the heels of Barton hitting “rock bottom” (her words) and then beginning to film her new series under great scrutiny in New York.

A rep for Barton told Gossip Cop that reports of a sober coach are “not true.”

Gossip Cop is skeptical of the rumor, but does sincerely hope that the “O.C.” alum does whatever it takes to take care of herself.
