Antonio was on the Ellen Show today and openly discussed his wife, Melanie Griffith’s recent trip to LaCirque Lodge Rehabilitation Center (i.e. Rehab, y’all).
Despite reports that Banderas gave Griffith the ultimatum: rehab or divorce, Banderas claims that Melanie herself suggested checking in after she became dependant on pain killers following a skiing accident and subsequent knee surgeries a year and a half ago.

“It was said actually in some magazine that I said that I gave an ultimatum to my wife. That I present the matter of divorce because she has been involved in addictions and blah, blah, blah,” says the actor. “Melanie has been addicted for many years and we always came out. We said it out loud. It was okay, we were never embarrassed of the situation but what happened she was clean and sober for six years.”
Banderas also revealed that the rest of Melanie’s family is in therapy to help them cope with her addiction.
