People Mentioned in This Biography
Advocacy and Breast Cancer Awareness
In 1998, Bleeth became a national spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day fundraising campaign, which supports breast cancer education and research. Her activism helped raise millions of dollars, including $5 million for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation through the "Wear Jeans to Work" campaign. Inspired by her personal loss—her mother Carina succumbed to inflammatory breast cancer at the age of 47—Bleeth used her platform to encourage women to be more aware of their health and vigilant about changes in their bodies.
Struggles with Addiction and Recovery
In 2000, Yasmine Bleeth voluntarily entered the Promises Rehabilitation Clinic in Malibu to seek treatment for cocaine addiction. Later that year, she and her then-boyfriend Paul Cerrito were arrested after a routine traffic stop, during which authorities found cocaine in their vehicle. Bleeth cooperated with law enforcement, pleaded guilty to the charges, and received a sentence of 100 hours of community service along with two years of probation. She expressed satisfaction with the outcome and acknowledged the role the experience played in her ongoing recovery.
