Flava Flav’s former ‘Strange Love’ ‘foo-foo’ Brigitte Nielsen reluctantly checked into the Cri-Help Rehab Facility on July 9th for addiction to alcohol following a family intervention.

A source says, “It took an ultimatum from her family to get through to Brigitte – either she gets help or she loses her loved ones’ support.”

Brigitte’s manager Ryan Glasglow says, “Brigitte’s getting the help she needs and has a positive attitude about her recovery.”
