Internet sensation Ted Williams is heading back to rehab, his rep said.

Before he's a reality star, the golden voiced Ted Williams has�one stop he has to make: rehab.

The viral video star's manager Al Battle told E! News that Williams had become overwhelmed with offers and filming his new show before deciding to head back to rehab for "emotional" issues.

Williams, who went from panhandler to Internet sensation after being filmed by a local newspaper reporter, has already tried rehab once before since coming off the streets. He left after two weeks there.

"My reason for leaving treatment was because it gave me a sense of it being scripted. I was doing live telephone call-ins with Dr. Phil and my girlfriend and my ex-wife and all my kids," Williams told 10TV News in Columbus in January. "It became somewhat of a scripted circus, and a form of anonymity was lost."

This time around, Battle swore to E! it was going to be different.

"It's more of an emotional thing," he said. "He just needed to get back to his psychologists."

Williams' reality show is currently shooting in Brooklyn and in Ohio, where he was first discovered.
