According to fresh reports, Whitney Houston has checked herself into a rehabilitation clinic.
Full story after the jump…
Via TMZ:
Whitney Houston has checked herself in to an out-patient rehabilitation program … but it’s not for drugs or alcohol … TMZ has learned.
A source directly connected with Whitney tells us … Houston enrolled in the program around 10 days ago. The program allows Houston to go out in public … as long as she has a monitor.
Just last weekend, Houston was enjoying herself at a Prince concert in L.A. … with her daughter right by her side.
Our source is not saying why Houston is seeking treatment … but insists it’s not drug or alcohol related.
We’re told, “She’s cleansing herself to get ready for a new movie.”
You already know media outlets are cooking up ways to spin this. In any case, for Whitney’s sake, let’s hope this is indeed “cleansing for a movie role”.
Update:
The singer’ rep has confirmed her voluntary treatment is in fact for drugs and alcohol related issues and functions as part of her long-standing recovery.
