Ellen
DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi are facing tough times. A
source told InTouch Weekly that Portia de Rossi
secretly entered the Passages Malibu rehab facility in early May for a 30-day
treatment. Ellen reportedly visited her every weekend to offer her support
while she was at the facility.
According
to RadarOnline,
citing InTouch Weekly, the
source claimed Portia’s stint at the rehab was because of an “ugly fight” she
had with wife Ellen DeGeneres.
The
source said the actress went from sipping white wine occasionally to a bottle
or more a day, and she would top it off with a pill.
“It got
to the point where she was out of it four nights a week,” the source said.
This is
when the “vicious shouting matches” started, with the couple screaming “cruel,
soul-crushing put-downs,” which they both deeply regretted afterwards.
“Portia
hadn’t been happy for a while and was drinking and isolating [herself], and
Ellen confronted her. Portia lost it and blamed Ellen for driving her to drink
because of her controlling ways and said she wasn’t in love with her anymore.
Ellen was crushed and screamed at Portia to get out,” the source said.
Despite
all the divorce rumours, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are reportedly
working on solutions to keep their marriage.
They
have tried couples therapy prior to Portia’s 30-day stint at the Passages. They
also had divorce attorneys on speed-dial. Ellen was reportedly distraught over
Portia’s struggle with drug and alcohol, so she has been supportive of her
recovery in every possible way.
“They
are on their way to repairing their marriage. It won’t be easy. Portia will
always be battling these demons. But they love each other,” the source said.
