Husband Orders Jessica Simpson to Rehab

Jessica Simpson's husband Eric Johnson is threatening to leave her if she doesn't go to rehab.

Former NFL star ERIC JOHNSON has told his pill-popping wife, JESSICA SIMPSON: “Go to rehab or I’m out of here – and taking the kids with me!”

Now the couple is on the verge of a $1 billion divorce – as revealed by The National ENQUIRER in a bombshell world exclusive!

“Things reached a climax in early May, when Eric told Jess he’s had enough and issued his ultimatum,” a family friend told The ENQUIRER.

The feuding couple has only been married since last July, after a four-year courtship – but Eric has already suffered through long months of Jessica’s addiction to weight-loss drugs and booze!

Said the insider: “He’s worried sick that Jess’ conduct is going to start affecting their two children, and that their oldest is starting to realize there’s ‘something wrong with Mommy!’ ”

The blonde 34-year-old singer needs to clean up her act fast, too. Eric is already consulting with his lawyer mom, Mary Jo, in preparation of a custody battle over the couple’s daughter Maxwell, 3, and 1-year-old son, Ace.

As The ENQUIRER recently reported, the stressed-out bombshell’s obsession with losing weight has led to potentially fatal consequences – and has turned Eric, 35, into a battered husband!

The insider said that Jessica still relies on the prescription drug Adderall to keep her 5-foot-3 frame at a mere 92 pounds, while usually downing her pills with Scotch!

Mixing prescription pills and alcohol could lead to brain hemorrhage, kidney failure, muscle breakdown and psychosis – and Eric has learned that it can also be dangerous for husbands!

After a boozy date night on Feb. 5, Eric was sporting a cut on his nose after his wife reportedly hit him for flirting with another woman.

That bizarre behavior can lead to a very costly divorce for Jessica.

The “I Wanna Love You Forever” singer has built a mammoth fashion brand with annual sales of a billion dollars. The source told The ENQUIRER: “She can’t be in denial any longer about the toll that her problems have taken on her marriage, or she could lose her husband, her children – and her money!”
