Ted Williams: Mom Begged Him To Go Back To Rehab

Julia Williams says she’s broken-hearted but not surprised that her newly famous son, Ted Williams, the man with the golden voice, has left rehab in Texas after barely two weeks.

“I’m very sorry that he left, and I’m very upset,” Williams, 90, tells PEOPLE. “Certainly I want him to go back. He needs help.”

Julia says she heard from family that Ted went to California, perhaps to Hollywood, to record children’s books. She says she’s optimistic he’ll keep busy and not return to a life on the streets, but doesn’t think he can stay sober without professional help.

“I know he doesn’t stick at things for long. Whatever it is, he soon tires of it,” she says. “He thinks he can make it on his own, without rehab. And I’m sure he can’t.”

She adds: “It’s a very sad story.”

A family friend told UPI that Williams was disturbed by the sight of cameras at the Origins Recovery Center, by a medication regimen so heavy that “when he wasn’t in [therapy] class, he was asleep,” and by more interview requests from Dr. Phil McGraw, who had convinced him to enter rehab in the first place.

Williams became an overnight sensation earlier this month after a videographer with the Columbus Dispatch spotted him by a freeway off-ramp holding a sign claiming he had “a God-given gift of voice” and that he had fallen on hard times.

    IF HE’S IN REHAB WHY ARE THEY LETTING CAMERAS OR DR. PHIL IN FOR THAT MATTER. DR. PHIL NEEDS TO GET BACK TO BEING A DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR’S OATH OF ‘1ST DO NO HARM’ AND STOP BEING A TV STAR LOOKING FOR RATINGS. THERAPY IS WHERE THEY SHOULD’VE TAKEN HIM 1ST B4 EVERYONE TRYING TO GET RATINGS AND LETTING HIM GET A TASTE OF THE ADDICTIVE SPOT LIGHT. THEY STRAIGHT SET HIM UP TO BE USED AND FOR FAILURE. GOD BLESS HIM & HIS JOURNEY………JENNY JONES!!!!!

    Everyone should just back off, He evidently is not really ready to give up his addictions. Let him go, when he realizes that all of a sudden he is back on his own. He will miss the attention. The money will run out, he will be hungry and cold again and you can bet he find a way to get more.Addicts always do.
