After clarifying the issue at hand, Bloom made a pretty badass warning to anyone looking to exploit Barton.
"I have a message for anyone who attempts to traffic in these photos or videos of Ms. Marton: we will find you, and we will come after you. We will fully prosecute you under every available criminal and civil law," reads the statement. "You proceed at your peril."
In January, Barton was voluntarily hospitalized after displaying bizarre behavior at her home and doctors discovered the date rape drug GHB in her system.
“On the evening of the 25th, I went out with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday," Barton told Peopleafter she was released from the hospital. "While having drinks, I realized that something was not right as my behavior was becoming erratic and continued to intensify over the next several hours."
