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.

'' .. 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. :)

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.
