“As so many other recovering alcoholics know, overcoming the disease can be a long and incredibly difficult process,” Vargas said. “I feel I have let myself, my coworkers and most importantly my family down, and for that I am ashamed and sorry.”
Vargas reportedly checked into rehab while she was on vacation with her family, apparently having fallen off the wagon since her last rehab stint in November of last year. Cohn, who is a musician, is on break from touring and will stay with the children while Vargas recovers. Most likely, once Vargas is done with her treatment, a court hearing will decide who will have primary custody of the two boys.
