According to
Lukeford.com, Kara slit her wrists today in a suicide attempt. They
said she is alive though, but obviously in a bad mental state.
Although
this sounds less like a suicide attempt proper and more like the latest
instance in a pattern of low-level self-harming (from the lukeford.com
article: "When paramedics arrived, Kara told them not to help her as
she has done this many times."), it is still disturbing. I think she
needs some kind soul to reach out to her and help her find the help she
needs - and I just don't think there's much chance of her finding
someone like that among the people she will encounter while she
continues to work in porn.
from kara herself
As you all have been waiting to hear..I am not afraid to talk about the truth. So hear me out.
I
was taking xanex, they were not prescribed to me. I was very much
addicted to them. I tok 4 one night.. I only remember taking 3. But
someone told me I had taken four (the name will not be mentioned on who
gave me them). The morning after.. the day I was supposed to leave for
Vegas.. I didn't have any. I did flip. I did try to kill myself. I did
slit my wrist.
I was put in rehab for 6 days. I am withdrawling at THIS moment and it is horrible.
..Just wanted everyone to know the truth. I am okay. Still feeling depressed though. But things are getting better.
I love you all for being concerned.

http://www.lukeisback.com/stars/stars/kara_bare.htmShe was living with and represented by Joel Lawrence's Gold
Star Modeling. On Wednesday morning, as Joel and company were
preparing to drive to Las Vegas for the show, Kara, coming down
from a six-day Xanax jag, locked her door, slit her wrists, and
then called Joel's assistant 20-minutes away to tell her what she'd
done.
Scott Fayner broke the story Wednesday afternoon on lukeford.com:
"Kara flipped out and ran down the street screaming. When paramedics
arrived, Kara told them not to help her as she has done this many
times. Apparently this all stems from Kara's custody battle, an
infection on her cervix, and running out of pills."
Kara ran out on the street, her wrists bleeding. Joel Lawrence
tried to corral her. The paramedics came after 15-minutes.
Kara screamed that Joel and company had been assaulting her.
Kara said to the paramedics that she had cut her wrists many times
but knew enough not to go all the way to the vein.
That was all they needed to hear to strap her down.
She cried out, "This is my own body. I can do what I want."
"Not in California, you can't," said a paramedic. "It's
a misdemeanor to try to kill yourself."
"I'm not Californian," replied Kara.
"Doesn't matter," said the paramedic. "You live
within its boundaries."
Kara's parents were called in Ohio to come and get her.
"I don't have the money," replied Kara's mother. "I
have to pay my phone bill."
"What would you rather have? A phone or a daughter?"
she was asked.
"Of course my daughter," mom replied. "But I have
to wait until Friday to see if I have the money to fly her home."
Kara's dad says, "She's been putting holes in my walls for
years. I couldn't control her."
The hospital wanted Joel and his agency's information. Joel didn't
want to take responsibility for Kara. She had just moved in a couple
of weeks before. She was no longer his talent. He wanted to wash
his hands of her and move on to the convention.
