Kelly Osbourne Says Rehab Provides Guidance on Improving Drug Addiction
Kelly Osbourne is not holding back.
The 39-year-old recently gave a brutally honest review of her experiences in rehab as part of TMZ’s new documentary TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry and the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring.
“The first rehab I went to was like a university on how to be a better drug addict,” Osbourne, who has been to rehab seven times, told TMZ founder Harvey Levin in a preview clip of the documentary. “I learned so many tricks, so many things that I never even thought of from my fellow addicts that were in there.”
She went on to say, “I’ve also seen people threaten to leave until they were given what they wanted. Whether it was Ambien for sleep, or Valium for nerves, they somehow ended up getting it.”
As Levin described it, “So the rehab is faced with, ‘Give me the drugs, or I’m going to leave and you’re going to lose your $100,000.'”
Osbourne claimed that this ultimatum usually works, with rehabs ultimately giving their attendees “whatever they ask for.”
