According to reports by TMZ, Destiny’s Child singer, Michelle Williams, has voluntarily checked herself into a California mental health facility to seek help for her struggle with depression.
Michelle who is 37 years old is being treated in a facility just outside of Los Angeles and has been there for the past several days.
The singer has been open about her mental health struggles, telling Rolling Out in 2013: “For years growing up, I thought someone getting treatment and counselling was really crazy or had personality disorders, but it’s really for normal people that have some issues that they need answers to.”
She said n a statement on Tuesday: “For years I have dedicated myself to increasing awareness of mental health and empowering people to recognize when it’s time to seek help, support and guidance from those that love and care for your wellbeing.”
She continues, “Today I proudly, happily and healthily stand here as someone who will continue to always lead by example as I tirelessly advocate for the betterment of those in need.”
Michelle famously reunited with her former girl group Beyonce and Kelly Rowland in April as they performed at Coachella music festival.
