Danielle Bregoli, the rapper known as Bhad Bhabie, has been admitted to a rehabilitation facility for drug use, according to TMZ. In an Instagram post on Bregoli's account on Wednesday, her management team said that she "made a positive decision" to "attend to some personal issues."

"For the past weeks, she has been in a treatment center receiving and continuing to receive professional support. She loves her fans, and has promised to return better, and healthier than ever," the statement said.

A representative for Bregoli could not immediately be reached. TMZ reported that she had entered the facility to recover from "childhood trauma, but also substance abuse in the form of prescription pills."

In January, she took a break from social media, citing her struggles with mental health amid criticism from followers. "There's no winning as a celebrity on this app," she said in a post that's since been deleted.

The rapper, 17, rose to fame for telling critics watching her interview with Dr. Phil to "catch me outside." The 2016 clip went viral, sparking a music career, the new moniker, and a deal with Atlantic Records. Bregoli later returned to Dr. Phil's TV show after that first visit with her mother, who was struggling with her teenage daughter acting out. While filming the episode, Bregoli allegedly stole the car of a "Dr. Phil" crew member, according to Billboard.
