What a joke... I doubt he has a problem.. He just made a random mistake and USC is treating him like a puppet saying "No treatment" No job...... If he doesn't go for the right reasons he will get nothing out of it and either will the school..........

They're Hollywood. They are doing what Hollywood does:

1. Apologize Publicly
2. Rehab
3. Go back to your job as if nothing happened
4. Rinse and Repeat

Even if someone has no real substance abuse issues, they blame it on a fake one and it takes the heat off of them and makes people feel sorry for them. Undermines people with actual substance abuse issues IMO. Not as drastic as this, but its similar to a bunch of women falsely claiming rape. Undermines actual rape victims.

ETA:

And its a cop-out to push responsibility onto a "disease" that don't fricking have. You're just a drunk a-hole or at the least an a-hole when you're drunk. I know several people that are awful when they're drunk (mainly women) but don't have substance abuse issues.
