LOS ANGELES (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. Showtime had no comment Thursday.

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.

I'd be addicted to that shit too.

[nuclearjew]

The poon is out there.

[WET HOT MESS]

GO DAVID!

[Bizz]

The poon is out there.

believe.

[kid_vidrio]

How do you check in for sex addiction...
I mean, I get sex daily from mother hand and her five daughters. You don't see me making headlines.
What's wrong with this guy?

[The GWD]

He has a sex addiction?

He never sexed me. I feel left out. :(

[ADD]

Rehab is for quitters

[kid_vidrio]

what pisses me off here is that this guy was getting all the ass that everyone else dreams of, and then he turns himself in.
that's like phelps asking for a life preserver.
it's like jericho asking for someone to finish his beer.
it's just not right.

[intlbizman]

she fucking punched him before he came
that's why he's addicted

Chazz: I'm a sex addict. It's my cross to bear. It's a real disease with doctors and medicine and everything!

[Le Goat]

I have a feeling this will NOT hurt his career. Especially his current role lulz

[kid_vidrio]

according to wiki:
Those who use this term have described sex addicts as people who, possibly out of fear of any truly intimate relationship, repeatedly and compulsively try to connect with others through highly impersonal nonintimate behaviors: masturbation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masturbation), empty affairs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair), frequent visits to prostitutes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitute), voyeurism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyeurism), and the like.

and he's married to tea leoni.
there is no God.
but there's a Goat.
coinciedence?

On a related subject, remember that douchebag Rastafarian or whatever with one album who cheated on Halle Berry?

Dumbass.

[kid_vidrio]

Yeah, there should be a thread for that.

Though the fact remains; for every hot chick, there is a gut who is tired of fucking her...

[Claydon]

is this some kind of publicity ploy for the 2nd season of californication?

[The GWD]

Anyone remember that episode of Cheers when Ted Danson went to a sex addiction group?

...That was awesome.

[kid_vidrio]

is this some kind of publicity ploy for the 2nd season of californication?
in the same way that you are a publicity ploy for nambla

Are you kidding me? That's a smart move! Do you know how much tail a guy can get from a sex rehab center? I mean the place is FULL of whores.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Looks like the shitty movie pushed him over the edge.

[kid_vidrio]

i think he has unresolved feelings for Scully.

Is nobody going to say it? Do I really have to be the one?

Fine.

More like Sex-Files.

[Stax]

Like all those photos of Aguilera's ugly ass husband not staring at her and thanking the Lord Jesus Christ for making that happen for himself.

[Draven X 23]

is this some kind of publicity ploy for the 2nd season of californication?

I thought the same thing.

[kid_vidrio]

Like all those photos of Aguilera's ugly ass husband not staring at her and thanking the Lord Jesus Christ for making that happen for himself.
not really like that at all

[vasili denisov]

Anyone remember that episode of Cheers when Ted Danson went to a sex addiction group?
I always thought of Cheers as a half-hour of light-hearted laughs about chronic drinkers. I'm surprised that they dealt with such a serious subject.

Dumbass.

[Jack Bauer]

she was a prude

[Axel]

...but I said 'no, no, no'

[Mustard]

Jesus David... you've really let yourself go.

[HAWK]

Is nobody going to say it? Do I really have to be the one?

Fine.

More like Sex-Files.

More like XXX-Files.

[}{arlequin]

duchovny is my hero. they should do remakes of red shoe diaries.
(haven't seen californication yet)

[Da Raider]

He must have given his wife an STD, and she made him go to rehab otherwise she'd divorce his ass.

[Candycane]

They showed so much graphic shit on there, I loved them!!

[ShitBreak]

I'm thinking he took his Hank Moody character a little too seriously.

[}{arlequin]

method acting?

[ShitBreak]

He's like Kirk Lazurus...he doesn't drop the character until he does the DVD commentaries.

[vasili denisov]

This guy is such an obvious intellectual skeeve, being surprised about this is like being surprised that Amy Winehouse has vomit stains on her shirt. This is the guy who has a T-sized porn stash on the drive, a stack of Diderot on the floor, a grad student leaving by the window, and another coming through the door.

[Lone Wolf]

Sex is bad

That sounds kinda awesome

[Hanover Fist]

So apparently his sex addiction wasn't actually with other live humans, it turns out he was addicted to online porn and beating off. Apparently the old adage of "no matter how hot she is, someone is bored with her/tired of putting up with her shit"

[Genius]

I suppose I should seek help then.

Actually, now the word is that he was cheating with everything that moved but that his wife, Tea Leoni, made him go with the addiction to pornography story to spare her embarassment. Damn! I would so much rather the entire world think I was in rehab for getting too much hot Hollywood tail than for beating off to porn.

[Kerjack]

Dump his ass Téa, I'm here for you.

[riseabove!]

But how can they stop him from beating off?

[xfancy]

But how can they stop him from beating off?

Such is the magic of rehab

[The GWD]

So basically they subject him to several slideshows of pictures of Xfancy.

and GWD's tits

[riseabove!]

you know honestly I don't think he wanks that often. Except he was probably doing it with no regard for anyone else. You know, in front of the kids, his parents, strangers, priests; that kind of shit.

[noahsdove]

The poon is out there.

Indeed it is.

[intlbizman]

But how can they stop him from beating off?

the guy can't beat off if he's fucking a nympho in rehab

[Okie Medicvet]

good point. After all, it's not sex addiction really, it's masturbation addiction..totally different~!

[riseabove!]

It's like the Buzzcocks song orgasm addict except not as cheerful

[densefive]

good point. After all, it's not sex addiction really, it's masturbation addiction..totally different~!

I totally agree with you!

[intlbizman]

Why the fuck would you want to be rehabilitated for this?

cuz your wife and/or your producer told you to
