In a bizarre interview on The View Friday, actress Mischa Barton, 23, went on a incoherant rant about her highly-publicized hospitalization in a mental institution after police removed her from her Los Angeles home in July.

Mischa — who is promoting her new CW series The Beautiful Life describes her hospitalization as “silly” and insists the incident was “blown out of proportion.” When Barbara Walters pointed out that she was in the psychiatric ward for two weeks, “not just the regular hospital,” the actress blamed her meltdown on recent dental work.

“Right, I mean, it was just … I was overwhelmed,” she explained. “I had too much work going on. I had a surgery for my wisdom teeth that went really badly. I had been in the hospital. I had two surgeries on my wisdom teeth. I had four taken out and they had gotten it really badly wrong. They had to drill into my jaw and I was just in really excruciating pain.”

“I had an infection and a dry socket and I woke up on a Sunday morning and there was no doctor available,” she continued. “I was trying to take the minimum amount of pain killers and get through it because I had to go to work soon and I was getting ready to go do this show, ‘The Beautiful Life,’ and meanwhile I still had a schedule to travel. I was going to Europe. I was going to London. I had things to do and I was prepping to do photo shoots and I was just overwhelmed. I had so much work to do and the surgery had gone so badly for me. And I think that I was just starting to feel completely overwhelmed. It was just too much to have this surgery go so wrong.”
