Rob Kardashian has been flying under the radar for quite a while now — but his family's concerns about his health have been front and center. During recent episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloé and Kris have discussed how to get Rob back on the right track. During a teary-eyed phone conversation with his sister, it sounded as though Rob wanted them to back off.
But now it appears that he's taking matters into his own hands. Mark Behar, a bodyguard who claims to be buds with Rob, confirmed to Gossip Extra that he helped check the KUWTK star into a Palm Beach drug and alcohol rehab center over the weekend.
"He told me 'This is it, I just need to stick with it and do this,'" said Behar, who expects that Rob will lose between 10 and 20 pounds during his first few weeks in treatment. The 60-day in-patient program allegedly bans cell phones and visitors for the first month and a half of the program, so it seems unlikely that Rob's progress will play out on KUWTK.
While none of this information has been confirmed by the Kardashian camp, it's clear that Rob has been going through a rough time over the last few years. We hope that he's getting whatever help he needs, on his own terms. (Gossip Extra)
