While there's no excuse for DUI, she's at least owned her mistake - from Facebook:
Last night I was arrested for DUII in Portland after dinner at a friend's house. Those that know me, know that I have always demanded excellence from myself. I have let myself and others down. I take full responsibility for my actions. This is all on me. I promise that I will do whatever it takes to ensure that my horrible mistake is never repeated. I am so sorry to my family, friends, fans and those that look to follow a better example. - Abby On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 10:12 AM, Oliver Barry <[email protected]> wrote: > I saw this in this morning’s Tennessean.
