David Duchovony admits sex addiction

By Alexandra Heilbron on August 29, 2008 | 8 Comments

X-Files star David Duchovony has checked into rehab for sex addiction. “I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” Duchovony said in a statement released to People magazine. “I ask for the respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.” It appears as though life is imitated art for Duchovony, who took home a Golden Globe award for playing an over-sexed writer on the hit tv show Californication. Duchovony has been married to actress Téa Leoni for 11 years, and they have two children together — daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd Miller, 6.

   Right on Dave. It’s not an addiction. It’s a behaviour.

   It’s a way of life.

   I wonder if he pulverized Brad Pitt on the set of Kalifornia? Or maybe Martin Landau on the set of X-Files. That would be hot.

   well all i can say is who knew, that is just crazy you think you know someone and then you find out he-love’a-da-sex. however i do hope that Tea and David can work this out and stay together, because i don’t know about you but i love them as a couple, always have.
