“I’ve been working with a writer on my book, Brutally Honest, and it has been unbelievably traumatic reliving an emotionally abusive relationship and confronting so many massive issues in my life," she said in a statement. The relationship she is speaking on is with her tumultuous ex Stephan Belafonte, who Mel just won a restraining order against back in June.

Mel is making the move to enter a rehab facility after revealing that she's been diagnosed with PTSD and admitting to drinking heavily following a very rough time in her life. The relationship with Stephan played a big part in this, as she's accused him of several things in the past including abuse and infidelity.
