I will have to say this through me for a loop and was probably more than I needed to know about him. I like Tea Leoni very much though and wish her all the best. This must be hard on her and the family.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I like him so much! I hope he can find his way to normalcy and continue his career.

Just a few weeks ago, I watched "Auto Focus," a 2002 movie about the tragic sex addiction of Bob Crane, the actor who played Hogan on "Hogan's Heroes" (for those old enough to remember). You may recall that it led him into such bizarre behavior that his career quickly spiraled from an Emmy nomination all the way down to regional dinner theatre... and into such a twisted, dark relationship with a fellow sex addict that the guy eventually murdered him. (This was never proven, but it's obvious. Like OJ.)

Thank goodness Duchovny is acknowledging his problem and doing something about it! And thank goodness that, these days, there actually are programs to help such people.

I was surprised when he just voluntarily gave this up. Why would any superstar give up they are a sex addict. Drug addict, alcoholic, Ok, those seem to go with Hollywood. Sex addict? Donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t hear much of that. The first thing that went through my head was “this is fake… he plays a sex addict in his TV show, what a great way to get ratingsâ€.

You never know with Hollywood. If it is true I feel sorry for the family. I remember when Holle Berryâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s man was a sex addict… I felt badly for her.

Didn't we know this about him several years ago though? It's certainly not new news, not for me anyway, and it's not the first time he's announced it or had treatment.

All I can think to say is "who cares!"


I'm so sick of Hollywood airing their dirty laundry in public, mostly for publicity purposes.

There is worse things that he could be addicted to anyway.

I say that those of us who think he's hot
should offer to avail any services we can to assist in his recovery.
And, with any luck, it may be a long, long recovery.

I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
(from an interview with Duchovny)

If he wants privacy why is he giving interviews? If I was a well known person going into rehab, I think I'd say it was for alcohol before I"d say I was a sex addict. This has really got to be tough on his wife.

It came out a number of years ago, and he denied it.

I agree with you ladies!!!! If only I had known, I could have tried to accidentally bump into him
