It's Simple But She Just Doesn't Get It:

Academy Award winning actress Tatum O'Neal was arrested after trying to buy crack cocaine in lower Manhattan a few blocks from her home.

Around 7:30pm last night, Tatum was spotted making a deal and was promptly arrested and taken to jail. Note: she has lost her marriage and kids to drugs and made a big deal about coming clean. She claims it was for a role, but that's a lie.

She’s being charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and will be arraigned today.

What a moron. Go to rehab. Get clean. It's not rocket science to know that you have a problem.
