'Golden Voice' Ted Williams Bails on Rehab
You’re never really an official celebrity until you’ve fled rehab against advice of your doctor. So Ted Williams, as they say on American Idol, welcome to Hollywood! Lindsay Lohan is nodding approvingly as word comes down that Williams, the formerly homeless man from Ohio with the golden radio voice, has left a rehab facility for drug and alcohol abuse. Williams had entered the facility after an appearance on the Dr. Phil Show.Williams has been offered a full-time job and a home by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his most recent gig was for voiceover work on a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese commercial, which is currently airing on television. The New York Daily News:
Ted Williams completed his work for us last week, and we think he did a great job,” a Kraft food spokesperson told the Christian Science Monitor an email Jan. 13. “We hope the best for him.”
Days earlier on Jan. 10, his daughter accused him of hitting her and said that he had gone on drinking binges.
“He said, ‘You, you fat [expletive],’ and when he said that, I just got angry,” Janey Williams told Dr. Phil on a later broadcast. “He’s consumed at least a bottle of Grey Goose a night, at least. That’s not including the Coronas he orders, that’s not including Budweisers he orders, that’s not including the other alcohol, the wines.”
After that incident, Williams admitted to [Dr. Phil] McGraw that he had relapsed and checked himself into the rehab center. Williams’ whereabouts since leaving rehab are unclear.
Williams’ initial media jump to light speed is over; now he must deal with the day-to-day issues of living clean and sober. Hope he makes it.
