Why Does “Celebrity Rehab” Get Such Bad Reviews?
Question by harlemkid82485: Why does “Celebrity Rehab” get such bad reviews?
Not only the show but also Dr. Drew. Critics claim they expose people’s problems on national tv and it’s worse for them. I disagree. I think Dr. Drew and his staff is amazing and is doing the best they can to help ppl with substance abuse. These celebrities are getting paid to be on tv. If anything, this show should be a lesson for anyone who’s thinking of using(especially young ppl). As a former user, and child of junkie parents who were taking from this world by drugs, I commend Dr. Drew for what he does.
