18 Apr – Rumour has it that Thandiwe Newton is heading to rehab following her departure from "Magic Mike 3". According to Page Six, sources are saying that Newton has been battling emotional and familial issues following the separation from husband of 24 years, Ol Parker.
Reportedly, Newton's agent also had to fly to London to ease situation, before she made her way back to the US. "Thandiwe's team wants her to go to rehab for mental health support. She was supposed to leave immediately for a facility, they tried for a Malibu rehab, but they couldn't take her. Arrangements are now being made to go to a facility in Arizona, if she agrees to go," said the source. Prior to the latest rumour, Newton dismissed reports that she and actor-producer Channing Tatum had a row about the Chris Rock-Will Smith controversy, with her rep saying that it was completely inaccurate. Newton has been replaced with Salma Hayek.
