Now that Christina Aguilera has been busted for public intoxication, her friends are speaking out, urging the singer to check herself into rehab!

Reportedly, her friends along with business associates have been pleading with her to get into a rehab facility for several months. One source said, “Maybe when she was married she was able to keep it under wraps, but it’s out in the open now.”

TMZ has more:

And we’ve learned … Christina’s drinking became an issue in her divorce. Jordan Bratman voiced concern about Christina’s drinking when they hashed out their child custody agreement but they ultimately agreed on joint custody.

We’re told Jordan has been mum since yesterday’s arrest. It’s unclear if he’ll try and reopen the custody case.

We’re told Christina has shut down all attempts to get her into rehab … at least until yesterday.

No word if she’s had a change of heart.

Stay tuned! We’ll keep our ear to the ground in case she decides to go to rehab!
