Nicholas Brendon: Headed to Rehab Again!
Actor Nicholas Brendon has checked into rehab for the second time this year.
The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Criminal Minds star shared the news with fans on his Facebook page last night:
“Well my beautiful people I’m off to Florida for 90 days of treatment,” Brendon wrote.
“I love you all so much and I truly do appreciate all of your love and support. We’re going to beat this,” adding the hashtags, “#kickingdepressionintheballsack #loveyou #huglife.”
Last week, footage of Brendon attempting suicide surfaced online. It was reportedly the 44-year-old’s second such attempt this year.
Brendon has been arrested four times in the past 12 months. Sources say alcohol was involved in each incident.
Adding to Brendon’s difficulties over the past year was his short-lived marriage to Moonda Tee, which lasted just over five months.
Insiders say Brendon’s heavy drinking was the primary cause of the couple’s divorce.
Brendon still acts – having most recently appeared in a recurring role on the MTV series Faking It – but these days, his income derives mainly from his writing work for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic book, as well as his frequent appearances at fan fests.
Unfortunately, his erratic and often criminal behavior has made him persona non grata at many of the major conventions.
Here’s hoping Brendon is able to get the help he needs and return to the festival circuit.

Buffy"s Nicholas Brendon Responds To Walking Off Dr. Phil — See His Words About Being Molested As A Child & Being Blindsided On The Show!
Talk about a tough time.
Nicholas Brendon, former star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has had quite a few problems with drugs, alcohol, and arrests in the past.
This year alone, he’s been arrested 3 times and entered rehab twice this year, which is why he sought help from Dr. Phil and went on his show.

However, his appearance didn’t quite go as planned as he ended up walking off of the show which aired yesterday. The Buffy star was very unhappy with his treatment during the taping of the show and stormed off after Dr. Phil questioned him about his current sobriety.
Brendon was particularly unhappy with the way he claims Dr. Phil talked about his mother specifically speaking on how she didn’t put Brendon in therapy after he was sexually abused as a kid.
Since the show aired, the actor took to Facebook to explain his reasoning and give insight into his frustration. In a lengthy explanation he posted:
“Dr. Phil had some hard words for my mother, who I love dearly and who I have caused more heartache than I care to remember. When I was molested as a child, it was 1982. Therapy wasn’t talked about and accepted the way it is today… Going to therapy in 1982 would be similar to getting a divorce in 1950. It wasn’t done, and if it was, it wasn’t supported by those around you. There certainly were not the kind of resources that fortunately exist for abused children today.”
Nicholas went on to say:
“My mother regrets this deeply, and it hurt me that Dr. Phil took her to task for not forcing me into treatment at the time.”
As for Dr. Phil‘s response to the 44-year-old’s behavior, a rep for the show said shortly after the taping:
“There was no drama, he simply chose to leave and did so in a respectful manner. His family and associates remained and participated fully and productively. Dr. Phil has nothing but the highest respect for Nicholas and wishes him the best in his quest for physical/mental health and sobriety, and stands ready to assist him in any way possible.”
We don’t know if there was more to it, but we hope that Brendon has since cooled down and hopefully is finding the help he needs.
What do you think? Based on Nicholas’ response, did he have a right to get upset or was he acting too defensive?
