11/29/07
Sylvester Stallone's ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen fought back tears as she
came to terms with the fact she's a bad mum as part of a hard-hitting new
U.S. TV show.
The Danish actress is one of eight stars taking part in new show
Celebrity Rehab, which debuts in America in January (08).
Counselor Dr. Drew Pinsky invited the addicts to open up about their
insecurities in one episode and alcoholic Nielsen revealed her parenting
skills were lacking when it came to her son Jullian.
She said, "He suffered brain tumors for two years and he was
suicidal. It was so bad... I was not there.
"I consider myself an awful mother but I know... how much I love
him."
Nielsen joins actor Daniel Baldwin, former wrestler Chyna and Grease
actor Jeff Conaway on the new show. Of the eight celebrities who started
the three week televised rehab, six completed it.
