"After a very intense day of filming, Rachel couldn't handle being at the Pasadena Recovery Center" and left, according to a Radar Online source.

Rachel Uchitel flaked on Celebrity Rehab 4 ... but will she be back?
Producers located Uchitel the next morning. "Producers arrived at the hotel the following morning, and calm prevailed," says an inside source.
"Rachel simply needed some time away from the intense pressure and scrutiny she is dealing with. She agreed to go back to Celebrity Rehab."
"Rachel has never had to face these kind of issues like this before, and talking about it pushed her over the edge, and her instinct was to run."
Well, sure. Of course, Rachel isn't legally allowed to talk about her affair with Tiger Woods, but the world's #1 golfer looms large in her life.

No word if she'll talk about David Boreanaz.
