Media Darling Golden Voice Ted Williams Days Before He Entered Rehab

In previous twitter posts, I mention that I was told by a security guard at Hollywood & Highland that he smelled alcohol on one of the men in the Ted Williams entourage. The guard told me it was a strong stench. He knew this because a TV crew was filming the man with the golden voice without permits on the property of the mall and he as well as another guard had to ask the crew along with Ted Williams to leave. He also told me they were headed to the Renaissance Hotel; where Ted and one of his daughter's ended up in a heated argument where the police were called. The daughter accused her father of drinking during an interview and subsequently after appearing on another TV show, Ted Williams decided to enter rehab with the help of Dr. Phil. Side note while Ted was filming one of his many segments on Hollywood, he said he was going on Oprah. Well that interview will have to wait because Williams wisely checked into a rehab center in Texas far away from the glitter of Hollywood so he can focus on the most important thing his sobriety. Here are two videos of my encounter with Williams on Hollywood last weekend...

Ted Williams Goes Hollywood

What happens when you hit the lottery when you are use to being broke? Just look at Ted Williams to get your answer. Williams the man with the golden voice went from being homeless and begging for money to being the toast of the town in all media. From NBC, to CBS to ABC all fighting for the scoop. And what is the scoop? Ted Williams is battling several addictions: poverty, alcoholism & drug addiction all while riding the roller coaster of fame and notoriety. Meanwhile the family and children he left behind while he was wasted, are vying for his attention and maybe even his new found money. There is serious pressure on Ted Williams from all sides. A lesser man would break. I don't know if he is going to 12 Step meetings or has some type of Sober Coach in his new entourage but he probably could use someone who actually has his back instead of the TV producers who only care about fickle ratings. So while many of us got wrapped up in the fairy tale of Ted Williams being picked off the street to be our modern day Cinderella, let us remind ourselves that fairy tales are just that and reality is something entirely different when one goes from being invisible to everyone wants a piece. Welcome to the Jungle.
