Country singer paid $25,000 for rehab in hopes of saving niece
The insider reveals that Tever lost numerous jobs in the past, but had recently begun her latest attempt to get her life on the right track and was even attempting to get a counseling degree. Throughout the years Tever was well known for her troubles with drugs, using crack, cocaine, and Oxycontin. Sadly, in 2006 Tever's addiction pushed her as far as assaulting her then-boyfriend's mother, who was battling cancer in an attempt to get money for drugs. Dolly Parton previously attempted to help her niece, paying $25,000 for an unsuccessful rehab stay.
Dolly Parton most recently made celebrity news headlines in mid-March after the "Jolene" hitmaker was spotted out publicly, shocking fans with what appeared to be an overly-botoxed facial procedure giving her a frozen face appearance, much resembling someone who may have suffered a stroke.
Throughout the years Parton has never made a secret of her love of plastic surgery. In a 2003 episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Winfrey asked what kind of cosmetic surgery Parton had undergone. Parton replied that cosmetic surgery was imperative in keeping with her famous image. Parton has repeatedly joked about her physical image and surgeries, saying, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."
Parton also openly admitted that "If I see something sagging, bagging or dragging, I'll get it nipped, tucked or sucked."
