Celebrity Rehab - Becoming Human
Posted in Commentary on March 15th, 2008 by admin
Since these people are all in the public eye, we knew how a couple of them were doing, but we wanted to know the whole story of all of them, how they were doing six months after completing Celebrity Rehab. Dr. Drew called it. There was something about this show that allowed us to see what an addict really goes through in rehab, and it put a face on not only the disease, but celebrity addicts as well. And we needed to know how they were doing and if they made it or not.
All of the celebrities came together on the stage, save for Jessica Sierra and Daniel Baldwin. We know where Jessica is, but what’s with Baldwin? It was really odd, as Dr. Drew didn’t really address the absence. Well, he did, but not to stay why he wasn’t there. But the really interesting thing is while he was saying they all send their love to him, the other celebrities were countering that saying no. He let them down. And the best was them comparing him to the molesting uncle. Dr. Drew didn’t seem to appreciate it, saying they needed to remember how good Daniel was before he left, and remember he was an addict just like them, but it didn’t matter. He let them down, and that’s all they could see.
As for Jessica, we knew she was arrested for intoxication and assault and that she was pregnant, but we didn’t know what went wrong in between sober living and the arrest for her to end up back in this place. She was called back to Florida for a previous arrest, and Dr. Drew fought for her not to have to go back, knowing how detrimental that would be for her sobriety. His efforts were all for naught, as she was sent back anyway, and while there, became hooked in again by old friends, going out that night. Dr. Drew flew to FL to fight again for her, as she could have been sentenced to ten years in jail, and he felt that would be the end of Jessica. With his urging, she was sentenced to one year back at the Pasadena Recovery Center. Read more »
