Last week, actor David Duchovny announced that he was entering rehab to deal with his addiction to sex. Now, in an update on that story, a friend of Duchovny’s revealed in an interview with Fox News that the star of “The X Files” and “Californication’s,” sexual addiction is related to Internet pornography.

Rather than having extra-marital affairs, Duchovny allegedly spends countless hours surfing web porn and hanging out in adult chat rooms according to a friend of the sex-addicted actor. The reason the friend came forward with this information was to try to squelch rumors that Duchovny was cheating on his wife, actress Tea Leoni. In the Fox interview, the friend compared Duchovny’s porn addiction to alcoholism and gambling addiction.

The Fox story also reports that Leoni was aware of Duchovny’s problem and has continued to be supportive of him in his fight against his porn addiction. This claim is supported by the fact that Leoni canceled a scheduled appearance at the Toronto Film Festival to promote he latest movie Ghost Town to be with her husband during this time.
