“I didn’t have this tremendous sense of guilt, because I hadn’t hurt anyone,” Ryder tells Vogue. “Had I physically harmed someone or caused harm to a human being, I think it would have been an entirely different experience.”
Her personal reaction, she says, was “I never said a word. I didn’t release a statement. I didn’t do anything. I just waited for it to be over.”
Still, she says, “The attention was what was embarrassing.”
Ryder, who was convicted of grand theft, explains that life had been bumpy for her just before the arrest. “Two months prior to that, I broke my arm in two places, and the doctor, a sort of quack doctor, was giving me a lot of stuff and I was taking it at first to get through the pain. And then there was this weird point when you don’t know if you are in pain but you’re taking it.”
She said painkillers of the type she was on, such as Oxycodone, which should not be confused with OxyContin, left her in a state of “confusion,” but that her arrest “in a very weird way, was a blessing, because I couldn’t do that [painkillers] anymore.”
After all this time, I really expected Winona to take responsibility for her actions, but I guess I was wrong.
Anyhoo, Winona has three new movies due out this year, “The Ten,” “Sex and Death 101,” and “The Last Word.”
