Rob Kardashian Rehab: Weight Gain, Drug Abuse After Bruce Jenner Sex Change?

It looks like Rob Kardashian may be headed to rehab. The troubled reality star has been battling weight gain for quite some time now, and a number of reports have suggested that Rob has also been struggling with substance abuse. These latest claims come after stepdad Bruce Jenner's high-profile interview with Diane Sawyer, where he revealed that he was undergoing a sex change surgery to live life as a woman.

By now, it shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone that Rob Kardashian is struggling with some deeply personal issues.

Rob admitted as much, himself, when he told E! cameras that he was struggling with depression and if things didn't change soon, he would become a recluse.

After Rob gained a noticeable amount of weight and withdrew from his family altogether, Kris Jenner has finally had enough. According to a recent Radar Online article, Kris is trying to get Rob to go to rehab...and this isn't even the first time:

"Rob Kardashian's family is so desperate to get him help, they've resorted to extreme measures. RadarOnline.com has learned that his mother, Kris Jenner, even tricked him into going to a Malibu rehab center last year -- but angry Rob felt 'ambushed' and refused to stay."

Of course, there has been some good news for Rob.

During a recent interview with E! News, big sister Khloe Kardashian revealed that Rob has lost some weight. Khloe did admit, however, that Rob struggles when it comes to losing weight:

"For the last week, he's been doing better, but I want Rob to do consistently forever. So right now I'm really proud of him. He's been working out a little and trying to get his groove back. And he acknowledges it! He's aware that he's very introverted and of course not the way he used to be. I think being aware is probably the best thing."

What do you think about the latest reports? Is Rob on the road to recovery? Is Kris right, does Rob really need rehab?
