Sylvester Stallone's statuesque ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen has checked into rehab in North Hollywood following a family intervention.
New husband Mattia Dessi was among those who begged the Danish model/actress to seek help for alcoholism, according to the National Enquirer.
Nielsen reluctantly checked into the Cri-Help facility on July 9.
Insiders tell the publication Nielsen has been fighting a serious alcohol problem for years. She appeared drunk on American reality TV show The Surreal Life in 2005.
A source said: "It took an ultimatum from her family to get through to Brigitte - either she gets help or she loses her loved ones' support."
Nielsen's manager, Ryan Glasglow, confirms the actress is in rehab and said: "Brigitte's getting the help she needs and has a positive attitude about her recovery."
