So you’re the attractive young wife of a much older high-profile politician, you’re reportedly injured during a fracas with a younger ex-boyfriend in the wee hours of the morning and you also happen to be an elected official who’s now entering rehab. Stuff like this is tabloid manna from heaven. Well, it would be if the parties involved were Republicans. The fact they’re prominent Democrats in the Bay Area?

Nah, not worth mentioning.

Just days after a mysterious incident in which she was reportedly attacked at a Newark motel by an ex-boyfriend, Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyer said Tuesday that she has enrolled in a program to be treated for chemical dependency.

Lockyer, 40, the wife of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, said in a statement that she entered a “wellness and recovery center” last week for treatment of the unspecified chemical dependency and “my injuries from the assault.”

She also said she was being treated for “chronic pain from a past debilitating car accident,” without giving specifics.
