Marc Jacobs has checked himself into rehab, after seven years of sobriety.
Only the day after showing his Louis Vuitton collection in Paris, Jacobs left the French capital and flew to a treatment facility in Arizona. The designer has publicly acknowledged substance abuse problems in the past.
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.”
