Ted “Golden Voice” Williams Back in Rehab
Ted Williams, dubbed “the man with the golden voice” is headed back to rehab, according to 10TV.com.
The local Columbus, Ohio news station caught up with the 57-year-old Williams at the airport just before he boarded a flight heading back to the Origins Recovery Center in South Padre Island, Texas.
The rehab facility is the same one that TV therapist Dr. Phil McGraw sent him to in January with an offer to pay for his treatment. But Williams checked himself out after just two weeks.
Williams vows to complete the 30-day treatment program this time. “If I have to pay for it myself, that’s what I’ll do,” Williams said.
Williams, who was in Columbus shooting a reality TV series based on his rags-to-riches story, said “I’m going back to get some real recovery and some rest. Dr. Phil’s concerns and cares will not go in vain. I hope I can successfully complete this whole journey and come back and say, ‘Hey Dr. Phil. I did it.’”
In January a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch spotted the former radio disc jockey standing on the side of a highway off-ramp holding a sign that said he was homeless but he had a “gift of voice” and had “fallen on hard times.”
The reporter recorded a cell phone video of Williams talking, and posted it on the Columbus Dispatch website later that day.
Within hours the video went viral and calls began pouring in with job offers for Williams. The Cleveland Cavaliers offered Williams a job at the Quicken Loans Arena and a house. It isn’t clear if Williams accepted the Cavaliers’ offers.

While I wish him the best, I don’t think it will work this time either.
I give him 3 weeks this time.
Good for him, it was like all those people throwing money, offers and whatnot just wanted their 5 minutes in the spotlight, they knew that man was headed for a fall and just didn’t care. Thank goodness he took life in his own hands and is getting better for himself and nobody else, cause he is more prone to success.
God blessed him with an amazing opportunity to make his life right again and he still abuses it by continuously abusing drugs…he needs to do better!
I hope he gets himself together this time
Hope he can get it together
Lady I’m BORED

I think he does realize that and getting better is exactly what he’s trying to do. It’s not that easy to just snap back.
I’m from Columbus and I use to see him everday while getting on the freeweay. I really wish him the best. If it were that easy to get off of drugs, then we would have a majority drug free society!
BBW I have a few on my computer I could send you
Sandi , it’s Friday, we want Gossip M’kay. Do a post on Bristal Palins “New Face”..
@AprilRain:
I do not want to see her “new” face….
@ Luscious Is it strip poker?
Yvonne- Oh come on, its not that bad
LMAO!!!!!
She actually looks better. Her family claims it’s just part of growing up. I guess she’s old enough to get plastic surgery.
I hope he gets the help he needs. Praying that Dr. Drew isn’t knocking on his door with a check and a VH1 contract.
Bigbad- I say, nose, chin, and lipo… u?
BBW no it’s not but we could prolly arrange a private session
Apri-
U took the words right outta my mouth.
