The question that brought Jackie O to tears: In her most raw interview to date, the radio star reveals her secret heartache after leaving rehab: 'No one's asked me this'


Rehab was tough for Jackie 'O' Henderson but it never broke her. Even after months of therapy, baring her soul in 12-step meetings and tedious daily chores, she managed to keep it together.
