MADD is mad at Jack Osbourne's comment, Mischa Barton DWI arrest "no big deal"

London, UK

MADD has slammed Jack Osbourne for describing Mischa Barton's DUI arrest as "no big deal".

Barton was booked for driving under the influence, possession of illegal narcotics and driving without a valid licence in West Hollywood in the early hours of December 27.

Osbourne shrugged off the incident, saying: "Everyone gets DUIs... but you only hear about it when celebrities get them. It is a big deal but it's not a big deal, just a slap on the wrist."

MADD lashed out at Osbourne for playing down the importance of behaving responsibly.

Campaigner Chuck Hurley (a FADD?) said in response, "Drunk driving is not a rite of passage but it does seem as though some high profile celebrities in Hollywood and in professional sports think it is.
