David Duchovny Enters Sex Addiction Clinic

David Duchovny, meet Lindsay Lohan. Yes, Lohan has been accused of being a sex addict before, and now it's been revealed that David Duchovny has entered a sex addiction rehab clinic.

His lawyer, Stanton Stein released the following statement:

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Ducovny has been married to actrees Téa Leoni since May 1997. They have two children together, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd Miller, 6.

Ironically, he received a a Golden Globe Award in January as best comic actor for playing an oversexed single dad and novelist struggling with writer's block in the Showtime series "Californication."

This season's episodes have already been filmed.

According to E! Online, sex addiction questions arose over Duchovny as early as 1997, when he said to Playgirl:

"I'm not a sex addict. I have never been to those meetings. It's hurtful to my family and if I was involved with a woman in a monogamous relationship, it would be hurtful to her.

There was another story claiming I was a neat freak. If I had to choose one of the two, I think I'd rather be a sex addict. It's not funny and I'll be glad when it goes away."

In 1998, Leoni addressed the problem herself, telling Elle it excited her:

"David was accused of being a sex addict, which I always found very exciting. And then I found out it wasn't true.

Men are like bulls. They gotta get the new cow. Maybe you've got to get the bull after he's had a lot of cows, so you might just be the last new one."

At the time of the Elle interview, Leoni and Duchovny had been married one year.
