July 28 2010, Published 9:00 a.m. ET
While Jeremy London and his wife Melissa recover in rehab -- both for prescription pill addictions -- Melissa’s mother is speaking out for the first time about the couple’s problems, including why they lost custody of their 3-year-old son.
Kayla Cunningham tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively that she’s had court-ordered custody of Jeremy and Melissa’s son Lyrik for the last two years.
“I have primary custody,” Kayla told Breaking Celebrity News. “Melissa and Jeremy have visitation but I have to be there to supervise.”
Melissa, who is currently back in treatment after suffering two mini-strokes and a brain hemorrhage earlier this month, had been alternating from living with her mother and renting a house in Palm Springs.
It was during that time that Jeremy made headlines, claiming he was kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to smoke drugs near his home. One man is currently in custody.
Kayla confirmed to Breaking Celebrity News that she allowed Melissa to stay at her house so that she could see her son.
