Airport police arrested actress Bai Ling after she stole two celebrity magazines and a pack of batteries from a gift shop at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday.
The 37-year-old said her split with her boyfriend right before Valentine's Day made her an emotional wreck.
Damon Elliott, a close pal of Ling’s, also told E! News she was definitely not herself yesterday.
“She was kind of in a mentally unstable state of mind yesterday,” he said. “She had some relationship issues going on. She wasn’t in the right frame of mind.”
Bai posted a message on her website while she was in the airport:
"Delayed the flight, [wandering] again in the airport like a ghost, why can't I just be the sun smile? Life is a sad song sometime but still sings the beauty for their loved ones..."
Ling Darling! Life is not a song! Learn to deal with your problems, instead of writing shits and stealing crap.
Bai's friend said that she was just distracted and that's why she walked out of the store without paying.
