He reverses course following an intervention by Jennifer Gimenez with Tim Ryan that secured a full-ride stay.

Overview

  • The 59-year-old told TMZ he was entering an unspecified rehabilitation facility in the Palm Springs area on Friday.
  • The move follows an incident earlier in the week when he was found slumped on a Hollywood sidewalk, where bystanders administered Narcan.
  • The Los Angeles Fire Department and LAPD confirmed responding to an overdose call at the scene and said the patient was not transported to a hospital.

  • Representatives have not provided additional details about the program, and coverage notes his longstanding struggles with addiction and prior treatment efforts.
