Brandon Davis Goes Into Rehab

Posted Jun 16th 2006 11:50AM by TMZ Staff

Brandon Davis, the infamous oil heir, checked himself into a rehabilitation clinic yesterday evening, a source close to Brandon confirms to TMZ this afternoon.


Late last night, it was reported by In Touch Weekly that Davis had entered the Passages facility in Malibu, a $75,000-per-month center frequently sought out by the rich and famous. "Yes, I am checking into rehab today," said Davis, according to In Touch. "I am on my way right now."

Executive Editor Dan Wakeford issued the following statement to TMZ: "A reporter spoke to Brandon Davis at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, where he stayed for a few days before checking himself into rehab."

In this morning's Page Six column, the New York Post said that the petrochemical prince was "balking" at going into treatment because he didn't believe he had a drug or alcohol problem. The Post also suggested that the Davis family wanted him to enter a treatment program for "public relations" reasons. Brandon's mother Barbara Davis has reportedly suffered considerable damage to her personal charity because of her son's antics.

Brandon has been vilified and ridiculed in the press for his infamous "Firecrotch" diatribe that first appeared exclusively on TMZ, in which he makes degrading and graphic remarks about his onetime friend Lohan during a stroll around the streets of Los Angeles. Since then, Davis has himself brazenly exploited the incident, wearing a T-shirt around the city that actually reads "Team Firecrotch."

A little time away from the nightlife comes at a particularly propitious moment, as Davis was recently turned away from a high-profile LA hotspot, according to the New York Observer's Spencer Morgan. Last weekend, he was forbidden from entering celeb-boite Hyde by a bouncer while trying to get in with his brother and Sonia Kinski, daughter of Nastassja, whereas Justin Timberlake and Michelle Trachtenberg sailed through.

According to the Observer, the club gave no specific reason for Davis' being turned away, except that the club "only has a capacity of 100 people."

108. I am surprised to see that Brandon Davis can actually put two (irrational) thoughts together. I am sure that with out his 'families' money he would no doubt be serving burgers at the nearst McDonalds. The video just goes to show America that with money you may be able to buy many things in this world, however; you can not buy class or integrity, both of which Mr. Davis is sorely lacking. It is amazing how he called most of America, who bring in less than 7 million a year, trash, and he can show his bloated face on the streets. Whats worse is Paris Hilton, who seems to make most of her money on her back, has such low class as to not even realize that his trirade would reflect badly on her. That in its self is funny.

109. How sad for his parents. I bet they were hoping that their son wouldn't pass down the "White Trash" label that sticks to them. Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. So Moms charity people are pulling away? Good for them. In this case ALL the apples are rotten. A true case of American White Trash.

110. I know first hand that Brandon Davis contacted Drag Queen Elaine Lancaster of the Colin Farrell fame et al. Elaine bought all of his grandmothers couture clothing @ an celebrity auction, Lancaster whose real last name is Davis as well was told by Brandon to quit given interviews about the close because everyone thinks your my cousin or something. Lancaster said f*&% you, and Brandon kept calling and calling then said he had seen her photo in some magazine and said he wanted to fly to Florida to hang out and hook up...He asked her what she liked to do, does she like coke etc......We don't know what ever became of it, but I home she never allowed herself to get close to him...I think he's scummy....
