Struggles with excessive drinking persist at the alcohol treatment facility - Alcohol-related issues persist within the facility for drug rehabilitation
It's not a breakup with his high-profile girlfriend, Nina-Kristin, that's keeping Nico Legat (27) off social media. In a candid confession to RTL, the reality TV personality Owning up to a week-long decision made on Mallorca, he shared that he sought professional help for his alcohol addiction on May 5.
During a severe relapse, the son of ex-footballer Thorsten Legat (56) made the swift decision to return to Germany and enter a rehab facility. The specific rehab center and the duration of his treatment remain undisclosed. With unwavering determination, Legat stated, "I've had enough. I'm taking control, seeking help, and working on myself." His ultimate goal: to return stronger and regain control of his life.
"I Wish I Had Acted Sooner"
"Looking back, I wish I had taken this step earlier. I could have spared myself and others a great deal of pain and heartache," a remorseful Legat expressed. After his appearance on the dating show "Temptation Island" in 2020, he publicly admitted his alcohol problem. Consequences of his public actions included a temporary estrangement from his father, Thorsten Legat, due to his reckless behavior on television. According to his own account, Nico Legat managed to stay away from alcohol for several months following the show.
"Regret is a powerful motivator," he told the news agency spot on news in November, explaining his participation in "Das große Promi-Bußen." His father, Thorsten Legat, concurred in the same interview, stating, "I don't regret distancing myself from my son publicly due to his TV antics."
Nico Legat promises, "I will change. I'm leaving the past behind and focusing on the future."
