golden-throated Ted Williams is headed to rehab
 

"Dr. Phil" says Ted Williams, the golden-voiced Ohio homeless man, is going into rehab to deal with alcohol and drug dependency.

Williams agreed to enter a private facility after a lengthy one-on-one interview with Dr. Phil McGraw that is set to air today, according to a statement from the show.

"If Ted is ever going to get better, he's got to be honest with himself and admit he's addicted to drugs and alcohol," the statement from "Dr. Phil" says. "I've told him it's not going to be easy and it's going to take a lot of hard work. It might be a long journey for him, but this is a big step in the right direction."

Williams became a YouTube sensation after a Columbus, Ohio reporter videotaped him last week showing off his announcing skills on a street corner.

Earlier this week, Williams, who has been inundated with job offers and appeared on numerous TV shows, was briefly detained, along with his daughter, after they got into an altercation at a Los Angeles hotel.

Williams appeared on the program with members of his family, the Los Angeles Times reports.

His daughter says the spat was over Williams' excessive drinking, which the once-and-future radio announcer denies. Williams, on the other hand, tells Entertainment Tonight that his daughter who attacked him.

Meanwhile, back in his home state, Williams has been subpoenaed in the case of a woman who was accused of drug abuse, authorities said.

The Madison Press in London, Ohio, said Williams was a passenger in the woman's car in May and is wanted at a Feb. 11 hearing over whether deputies' search of the car was legal.

that mother fucker wasn't sober. :disgust i watched part of it i know a drunk when i see one. he's a fraud! :( pray for him

Yesterday's news =]

your welcome :)

hopefully he gets the help he needs and uses it!

Good on him if he really does want to get better and make the most of what he's been given.

Let this weak man fully fail...

well ill claim the title ive been sober seems like 50 years but really 2 years. i guess that was his scam hiding the addiction changes the point of view.

Hope he get's the help he needs.

Why is this "News"? It's bullshit gossip.

Dr Phil show doesnt ask you to come on there unless they already know which of your moles has hair growing from it and which dont. If you peed your pants in kindergarten, they're going to dig it up and remind you of it.

This guy tried to say he was sober and had ordered drinks from the hotel suite provided by the tv show. lol.

Most likely came into some nice cash with his recent new found fame and couldn't help himself from hitting the bottle again.

maybe a few pieces of cali crack mixed in between the drinks.

So was "Weapons of Mass Destruction", but look how people ate that shit up.

You better read a foreign newspaper if you actually want some news.

:2 cents:

He mostly likely invited his daughter into his life after getting some money and
her nagging ass mouth drove him to drink again.

:1orglaugh

Its possible that some big potential employer put rehab as a condition to his employment. They were reporting that some pretty large organizations were looking at him including the NFL. They are going to want to be sure hes clean.

Who??
