"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," the actor told People.com, in an exclusive statement. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
The actor and father of two, who has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997, ironically won a Golden Globe this year for playing a sex-crazed writer on Showtime's Californication.
Rumors of David's problems have surrounded him for years. In 1997 he told Playgirl (of all magazines!), "I'm not a sex addict. I have never been to those meetings. It's hurtful to my family and if I was involved with a woman in a monogamous relationship, it would be hurtful to her.
"There was another story claiming I was a neat freak. If I had to choose one of the two, I think I'd rather be a sex addict. It's not funny and I'll be glad when it goes away."
Guess it's not going away anytime soon. And how times do you think you are going to hear that old song "David Duchovny, Why Don't You Love Me?" on the radio today?
