Ex-girlfriend says Kurt Busch's trained assassin allegations came from script she's writing

The saga between Kurt Busch and his ex-girlfriend took another strange twist Wednesday after Patricia Driscoll revealed the source of the NASCAR driver's allegations about her being a trained assassin.

Driscoll claims that Busch's accusations were taken from a script she's working on for a movie about a female CIA operative, and expressed her concerns about the driver's mental state in a statement to ESPN.

Mr. Busch's statements in court serve to confirm my belief that he needs professional counseling to deal with his alcoholism and issues of depression. Since day one I have stood by my statements that my motive was not greed but in fact concern for the man I loved. I have previously shared my concerns for Mr. Busch's mental state since the onset of this case only to be dismissed by his legal team.

Perhaps now his family and those around him recognize his fragile state and will provide him the mental health care and support he needs. He clearly believes fiction is reality and that's all the more reason he needs help.
