XXX Files: Duchovny Admits Sex Addiction

Actor, Who Currently Plays Sex-Obsessed Character On TV, Enters Rehab

(AP)  David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction.

In a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein, the actor said he did so voluntarily, adding: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The actor's publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the rehab report, which first appeared on People.com.

She and Stein both declined to elaborate further.

Duchovny, 48, plays a sex-obsessed character on the Showtime series "Californication," which earned Emmy nominations for casting and cinematography. The show's second season begins Sept. 28.

"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," the network said in a statement.

The actor appeared in the film "The X Files: I Want to Believe" earlier this summer. He has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997. They have two children.

No, he checked into the Larry Craig, Mark Foley and Pastor Ted Haggart pole smoking class.

'' .. the neighborhood streets were littered with cute passed out and dead dopes young and old fat and small as adorable drunken degenerates stumbled and swooned among the mounds of collecting bodys, then a boy and girl scout club moved into the factory garden and things began to turn around, before long everyone had the message: any folk caught being all immoral like would be arrested and made to pay .. ''

'' .. i wasn''t normal at all, most are normal, i was not, i needed unsual people in my life, so i joined a jail, a rehab, and a quality control panel .. ''

This is nobody''s business...It is a private family matter...people are talking about the government snooping in on our lives...The media is far worse....After all...the media has guys like Oliver North doing their reporting for them...It''s beginning to look like one big huge joke.

Now this is real news people. Californication actually looks like a really good new series on Showtime. I''m tempted to add showtime just to watch this show. :)

Come here baby, I''ll make it go away.......with a baseball bat.:)

Dave should not get lost making his own pornographic films. Tabloid figures like Bruce Barclay (Cumberland County PA) became totally obsessed with homosexuality on film. He should discuss his problem with a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Dave needs to moderate.

Look at this - THIS IS NEWS????

C''MON America! This is a DISTRACTION from the REAL stuff going on in the world. And this makes the headlines.

Start writing CBS for REAL NEWS - not Commentators Opinions.

"...married to actress Tea Leoni "

is it any wonder? ;)

[gatofeo]

Even though he''s "Hollywood" -- a group of people not noted for clear, sane thinking -- what person in their right mind would publicly declare a *** addiction?
This isn''t about an "addiction" at all, he''s building a defense for sexual assault or public indecency charges yet to be charged.
Very soon, perhaps within days, we''ll undoubtedly see him charged with some kind of *** crime. He''s just claiming "*** addiction" as a defense strategy, no doubt.

As for "*** addiction," I too have the same malady. I need aversion therapy! Send me to the Playboy Mansion!

My thoughts are known, acknowledged and accepted. Go on Craigslist for any city and you''ll find 1000''s of married men looking for gay action on the side, aka DL.

Watching_You, are you a homophobe??? Does *** in a str8 porno turn you on??? ADMIT IT!

[ketone66]

And if he''s addicted to porn, maybe it''s the male anatomy he''s focusing on. I''ll repeat, watch any TV interview of his, he ALWAYS works in a gay topic.

I suffered from this for years . I never went to thrapy, I just plain got old and wore out. It can be a interesting ride with the right person.Although the V.A. said it was a sub cociuos reaction to ptsd.They try to fill with bull - ca-ca when they dont know or are just jealous.

[ketone66]

David is a closet ****/bisexual which is torturing him. That is his problem. If you don''t believe it, watch any TV interview he has done on talk shows. Even one this last month. He ALWAYS brings up a gay topic. It is constantly on his mind. Maybe he doesn''t realize it.
