Marie Osmond can’t catch a break. After the heartbreak of losing her father last week, last night Larry King blindsided her when he asked if her 16 year old son Michael was in rehab. Marie confirmed that he was admitted last week but she is keeping a stiff upper lip. Marie issued this statement through her publicist:

“My son, Michael, is an amazing young man, shown through his courage in facing his issues. As his mother I couldn’t be more proud of him. The press and public have always been kind and gracious in the past, and I know they will continue to respect our privacy during this time.”

Could this be an example of uber-strick Mormon upbringing back-firing terribly?
