UPDATE: Danno Hanks has sent the following statement to E! News regarding comments he initially made criticizing Dr. Drew Pinsky.
"There are reports out there that I had 'blasted' Dr. Drew for not reaching out to Mindy McCready. In frustration, while doing an interview with E! Entertainment, I did make that comment. However, I have since learned from several sources that Dr. Drew had been in contact with Mindy and was trying to get her some help. In addition, I have since talked to Dr. Drew several times and realize that even though he did not respond to my emails to him, he did respond to Mindy's. I apologize to Dr. Drew. He has always had Mindy's best interest in mind."

Mindy McCready's close friend, Danno Hanks, the private investigator who talked with her just days before her tragic suicide and recorded what would be her final interview, is opening up some more about the last days of the troubled singer.
In part two of an exclusive interview with E! News, Hanks heavily criticized Dr. Drew Pinsky—who helped treat McCready for addiction on his VH1 show Celebrity Rehab—for failing to contact her in her time of need these last few weeks, particularly after the Jan. 13 suicide of her boyfriend, David Wilson.
"She made a lot of money for Dr. Drew, being on that show," Hanks told E! News on Sunday. "I had his personal email, and when she started going through these problems, I sent him several emails. But he never had the time to call her. He's a professional and he didn't have the time. And that's recently. You can bet your ass he's going to be on some talk show tomorrow talking about it."
