Roseanne and Shameless star Emma Kenney says she’s seeking treatment for her “battles.” The 18-year-old actress said in a statement, “I was running with a really fast crowd. I was being naive and very immature, and I was doing things I should not be doing because it was illegal and I’m not 21. It wasn’t healthy, and it was making me feel even worse — anxious and depressed. It was just a slippery slope that I did not want to go down. And I knew that I needed to stop it.” For eight seasons, Kenney has played Debbie Gallagher, the youngest daughter of the family at the center of Shameless. She spent her current hiatus from Shameless starring as Darlene’s (Sara Gilbert) oldest child, Harris, on ABC’s Roseanne revival, which has already wrapped filming.
