My guess is that he will lie low for as long as it takes, but his management will reintroduce him as soon as they can.
If you think about it, there is a monumental amount of moolah at stake.
Prepare for the best pr people in the world to bombard us with all sorts of crap.
Its already been fed to us about the knee surgery, drug addiction, the bad divorce. Not a lot of people have mentioned how his soon to be ex was sacked from his show.
I don't think its on the scale of a Barrymore at all because basically him and his mate, and army of agents, etc are very very powerful.
I do think that his people have already played the sympathy card too much and I expect a statement along the lines of " I am very very sorry and realise that I need help and need time and privacy to find that time to find that for myself".
Sorry mate that line has already been played out.
