Subject: Statement on Jake Roberts

Body: To answer many of your questions, yes, the rumors are true ... Jake Roberts entered rehab on Monday, Dec. 10th.

Obviously, Jake wanted his whereabouts kept private and confidential.

We were shocked and disturbed to see that this information was sadly and unfortunately leaked.

With that said, now all we ask is that you keep Jake Roberts in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
