My deepest apologies to my fans, proud supporters, and most of all my Family??. #FreemyMomma #longliveChikoJuan

She adds:

I’ve been working really hard through my problems considering the challenges that’s been set before me since I’ve been home. I’ve done all that I can do on my own to shake my habits but I do realize that I need help and I am currently seeking treatment.
