Substance abuse issue at the recovery facility - Struggling with excessive alcohol consumption persists at the rehabilitation center
Hey there! Let's talk about Nico Legat, the reality TV star who's taken a bold move. You know him, right? Son of the former German footballer, Thorsten Legat.
Nico, 27, has been AWOL from social media lately, but it wasn't a breakup with girlfriend Nina-Kristin (43) that kept him away. In an interview with RTL, he confessed he'd checked into rehab on May 5.
He shared, "I decided a week ago on Mallorca that it was time to seek professional help for my alcohol addiction." Following a "major setback," Nico, who's been in the limelight through various reality shows, rushed back to Germany to get treated.
The specific rehab center and length of his therapy session remain secret. "I've reached my limit. I'm taking charge, getting help, and working on myself," Nico explains. His aim is a strong comeback and a life back on track.
"I Wish I'd Tackled This Sooner"
"I wish I'd done this sooner. I could've saved myself and others a lot of pain," Nico admits. After his stint on "Temptation Island" two years back, he admitted his alcohol issue publicly. His father, Thorsten, briefly distanced himself due to Nico's public misconduct. According to Nico, he stayed sip-free for several months post the show.
“I regret the infidelity and excessive drinking, as one led to the other," Nico stated in an interview with news agency spot on news in November. Thorsten added, "I didn't regret distancing myself publicly from my son due to his TV behavior."
Nico promises, "I'm changing. I'm leaving the past mistakes behind and looking forward."
