Kit Harington Rep Says NOT in Rehab ... It's a 'Wellness Retreat'
3:34 PM PT -- Kit's reps got back to us, and say he "has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues."
They say he's NOT there for "rehab," and emphasize the words, "wellness retreat."
Kit Harington[1] was hit hard by "Game of Thrones" coming to an end -- so hard, he checked himself into a rehab center for stress and alcohol before the final episode aired.
The actor, who famously played Jon Snow on 'Thrones,' entered a luxury Connecticut facility for a mental health retreat weeks before the May 19 finale ... according to the NY Post[2], which first reported his rehab stay.
Kit's been getting treatment for stress, exhaustion and alcohol abuse. The Post says his wife -- fellow 'GoT' star Rose Leslie[3] -- has been very supportive of the decision to get professional help.
The rehab facility is believed to cost over $120,000 per month ... no word yet on when Harington will be released.
As you know, 'GoT' wrapped its highly-anticipated 8th final season earlier this month. Reviews of the whole season were extremely mixed, at best, and downright awful at worst. It still got HUGE ratings, though.
