Ted Williams Heads Back to Rehab to Rest Golden Voice

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted May 6th 2011 04:43PM

Although the 'golden-voiced' Ted Williams has battled drug addiction in the past, this time he's headed back to rehab to deal with "emotional" issues, according to E! Online.

Williams involuntarily burst into the spotlight earlier this year after being discovered, while asking for money on the side of the road, by a reporter who videotaped Williams showing off his golden radio voice.

Williams almost immediately booked commercial voice-overs and even signed on to star in his own reality show. But he soon found the burning spotlight to be too hot and the overwhelmed Hollywood newbie checked into a 90-day rehab program in Texas to rest. Williams' manager told E! that the move is not drug related.

"All of the shooting for his reality show has taken a serious toll on him," Williams' manager, Al Battle said. "This is not a trip back to rehab because of a drug or alcohol relapse. It's all emotional. Ted is exhausted."

Williams was shooting his reality show in both Brooklyn, New York and Ohio. And although the first season has yet to see the light of day, producers are reportedly already discussing the possibility of a second season.

But from the looks of it, Williams may not be able to make it through the first season.

"It was more of an emotional thing," Battle said. "He just needed to get back to his psychologists."

Williams headed to the same rehab facility in January to seek help in battling his ongoing drug and alcohol problem, before skipping out on his treatment.

Tyrone, by the looks of this picture, his teeth have *already* been fixed. I don't know if he'll ever beat his addictions, but I wish him the best. Not everyone gets the second chance that he's been given, and I hope that he doesn't piss it away.

By fred

yes nothing but a big looser , Has a break , and what does he do blow it . But what else can you say about a drunk and a drug addict

By mike

I thought he died.

By Jennifer

I really hope he successfully beats his addiction. But I do want to add, he's really not a personality, he's someone the media tossed at us and said, here is someone to look at. Though I'm not really sure why?? I think his 15 minutes of fame is over now. Let him get better, do his thing, and just quietly do whatever it is he does. Is it being a DJ?

By Fina

If that is a recent picture of him he is looking well. I hope he does get the psychological help he needs. He has been given a SECOND CHANCE at a life, lucrative career, and reconciliation with his children. A Lesson For ALL OF US...Don't Blow It When You Get Another CHance

Emotional issues = do I love gin or vodka more.
