Since her stint in rehab last January, Eva Mendes doesn’t take the subject of addiction very lightly.

The actress snapped at a reporter for Interview magazine who joked that Alcoholics Anonymous would have to be changed to Alcoholics Unanimous because of the prevalence of problems in Hollywood.

“I’m not making jokes, because people die from this stuff,” she says in the interview, which hits newsstands next week. “So, honestly, I think it’s a bit tacky that you made a joke. I’ve got to be honest.”

Eva checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah (the same facility Lindsay attended), but still refuses to discuss what kind of addiction she was treated for. Although drug use was a rumored reason, Eva’s rep just said it was “personal issues.”
