Your support makes all the difference.Bhad Barbie has entered rehab to seek treatment for childhood trauma and prescription pills abuse, her management has confirmed.
The “These Heaux” rapper, real name Danielle Bregoli, has been in the facility for several weeks now and sources told TMZ that they expect her to stay there for 30 to 90 days.
In a statement, Bregoli’s management said: “We are very proud of Danielle for recognising that she needed help and seeking it out.”
A further statement on her Instagram read: “Danielle has been working hard for the past few years and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to attend to some personal issues.
“For the past weeks, she has been in a treatment centre receiving and continuing to receive professional support.
“She loves her fans, and has promised to return better, and healthier than ever.”
Bregoli has been quiet on social media lately, which caught the attention of fellow rapper Chika who called her out for her silence on the death of George Floyd.
Chika – real name Jane Chika Oranika – wrote, “bad bhabie lil chickenhead ass been silent, too. we really ain’t caught her outside not once. Hmm.”
Bregoli broke her silence on Tuesday (2 June) by posting a black square on Instagram, following thousands of others who went in on a social media blackout in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
