Nick Gordon has come out of rehab, and in his first interview with Dr. Phil since completing rehab, he is breaking his silence on the alleged drug problem that Bobbi Kristina Brown had.

An a sneak peek at the one-on-one interview, Dr. Phil starts out by saying, “Last time I talked to you, we were in Atlanta, and you were in a lot of pain, and you were self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. It was clear to me you were not in any shape, I didn’t think, to do an interview, which is why I said I thought you needed to go to rehab at that point. And I’m told that you really leaned into it.”
