Blame The Pain Meds!

Remember when we reported Melanie Griffith had checked back into rehab?

Now we know why!

Pain meds, which were a result of three knee operations after a ski accident.

Unfortunately for Melanie, after 6 years of living the clean and sober life, the drugs caused her to relapse and enter the revolving door known as rehab.

But she wasn’t forced! In fact, it was Melanie’s idea to go back.

Husband and heartthrob Antonio Banderas told Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday that “In March, she came to me and said, ‘I’m feeling a little bit weak in my determination for this … so I just thought to go to rehabilitation by myself.’ “.

Luckily for her, she has the full support of her family. Banderas went on to say “…the whole entire family is supporting her, and I am supporting her, and at this particular time more than ever. I’m very proud of her.”

Hopefully after this she’ll stay on the clean and sober path!
