Rob Kardashian reaches breaking point

His family have been urging him to get professional help for alleged drug and alcohol issues for more than a year.

And now it has been reported that Rob Kardashian has finally checked into a 60-day Palm Beach rehab centre that specialises in substance abuse.

It is thought that the reality TV star arrived at the facility over the weekend.

Rob is “in good spirits” says Mark Behar, a bodyguard who works with Hollywood celebrities and a close friend of Rob's.

“He told me ‘This is it, I just need to stick with it and do this’,” Behar also said speaking exclusively to Gossip Extra.

As has been well-documented during the screening of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, those close to the 28-year-old businessman have also been worried about his weight-gain.

According to sources: “Rob will probably lose 10 to 20lbs within the first few weeks by just being in rehab and daily programmes relating to his detox.”

The rehab centre reportedly has a strict mobile phone ban for the first six weeks, and their regime also includes physical training.

The new season of KUWTK began early in March and the family’s deep concern for Rob and his well-being quickly came to light.

In an early episode, momager Kris Jenner broke down to their family therapist: “If I don’t help him do something drastic, he’s going to die.”

Older sister Khloe, who it seems is the closest to Rob, has also shared her anxiety over the situation.

After splitting from husband, Lamar Odom, as a result of his own reported drug abuse, Khloe found it difficult to go through the same thing again with her brother.

“I’ve been through this how many times? Do you think it’s fair? I did this for years and now you’re going to do this to me again.”
