It was confirmed by the “Working Girl” star, Melanie Griffith’s publicist today that the star had been put to rehab again. The news was first published by the Star magazine. Earlier the 52 year old star was put to the Utah’s Cirque Lodge Rehab Facility, which was also a temporary home of Lindsay Lohan and Kirsten Dunst for an anti-drug treatment.

The reason for Griffith to be admitted to a rehab, as cited by her publicist, was “commitment to stay healthy”. But contradicting this statement, FOXNews.com’s Pop Tarts stated that the reason for this was partly because her 49 year old actor husband, Antonio Banderas, refused to take any more of her erratic behavior.

It was also reported to Pop Tarts by one of the actors who had recently worked with Griffith that she “had a multitude of crazy demands, including insisting everything around her, from the food to the flowers, be yellow”.

Griffith’s publicist also said, “She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctor’s years ago”.

Earlier in 2000 the actress was put to rehab resulting from an addiction to painkillers, which she began using after she suffered from a major neck injury. In 1988 Griffith was admitted to a rehab center in Minnesota for quite sometime to fight with alcoholism and cocaine addiction right after she completed filming “Working Girl.”

“Overcoming addictions is tough but it can be made easier if you have someone that can offer support. My husband and family supported me so much through this journey and continue to do so”, Griffith once wrote in her website.
