Rodman goes into alcohol rehab after trip to NK
Print Edition
Former basketball star Dennis Rodman, facing a backlash for a series of visits to North Korea, has checked himself into an alcohol-rehab facility, according to US media.
“He has been in rehab most of this week,” Darren Prince, his agent, was quoted as saying by CNN.
“His drinking escalated to a level that none of us had seen before. When he came back, I discussed with him on a personal level how concerned I was. We sat down and decided for him to go to rehab. It is a 28- or 30-day facility.”
The 52-year-old Rodman apologized earlier this month upon his return from his latest visit to North Korea for saying a fellow American imprisoned there may have caused his own fate. Rodman blamed alcohol for his comments.
Rodman, who reportedly entered a rehab center on the US East coast on Wednesday, took a team of former National Basketball Association players to North Korea for his most recent visit and sang “Happy Birthday” to leader Kim Jong Un inside a packed sports arena.
Rodman, who said he planned to return to North Korea next month, has developed an unlikely friendship with Kim since his first trip there last February.
