NEW YORK — Marc Jacobs has checked himself into rehab.

After seven years of sobriety, the designer relapsed recently and decided to undergo a second round of in-patient rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse. The day after showing his Louis Vuitton collection in Paris, Jacobs, who has publicly acknowledged substance abuse problems in the past, left the French capital and flew to a treatment facility in Arizona.

Reached for comment earlier today Jacobs’ business partner Robert Duffy confirmed the rumor that had started to circulate around New York. “Marc made the right decision,” Duffy said. “He’d been sober for seven years. When he relapsed, he wanted to deal with it right away.

“According to the experts, such a relapse isn’t uncommon,” Duffy continued. “Thankfully, Marc recognized the problem himself and chose to deal with it. Obviously, our prayers are with him.”

Terribly sad. Bless his heart.
It seemed like recently he was on top and maybe it got to him. Hope for a speedy recovery!

Wow, i didn't knew he had former drugs-problems. Hope he's OK and will be out soon. Does anyone know have long he'll be there?

I'm a little surprised to hear about it, but I wish him all the best.

(I didn't know that this was posted already and I just put up another thread in Rumor Has It... mods, please feel free to delete it. Sorry about that, Lena.)

i'm not the biggest fan of him...everybody knows....but i do wish him all the best and a full recovery. and i do think he should commended--even if not a concsious choice--for shedding alot light on a tremendous problem in the industry. and also,for realising it so quickly and immediately seeking help. but most people think models are the one's that are most susceptible to addiction but it's actually 10 times worse amongst the designing elite.

Poor Marc....

Well, at least he realized he needed help sooner rather than later. Hope he's getting well.

[Trista]

I'm glad also that he made the decision himself, and I hope he has a speedy recovery.

I wish him a speedy and happy recovery. Get well soon Marc.

^^ (reply to emma peel) besides alcohol... who knows... cocaine maybe (lot of people use it to be able to work longer journeys, it keeps them awake and "functioning" they think...)
i really hope he'll recover soon... as some of you already said, he really was on top and i dont think anyone of us here want to lose him like this...
