Mayor Ford refused to answer any questions about the rehab allegations again Thursday. On Wednesday, Mayor Ford also refused to comment on a Toronto Star story that said he was abusive and disruptive in rehab and was kicked out of group therapy.

“I can’t talk about anything in rehab,” he said.

Councillor Ford called McRobb a liar, although he qualified that he was trusting his brother’s word on certain aspects of her story.

“Doug Ford says she’s a liar,” Councillor Ford told reporters Thursday. “Never met her and outside of what you guys say or report, she’s lying.

“I don’t know Lisi, I’ve never met the guy and I wouldn’t know this LeeAnne girl if she walked right in front of me right now. I’m saying she’s lying, unequivocally, 100%.”

Councillor Ford said he trusts his brother when he says he has ended his relationship with Lisi, who in addition to drug charges is faced with an extortion charge for an alleged attempt to get the original crack video back.

“He doesn’t talk to Lisi…He’s ended relationships with Lisi. That’s what he said. That’s what he told me,” he said.

Mayor Ford has yet to fully explain his relationship with McRobb, although he did admit in a television interview that he gave her his keys.

McRobb, 36, claims that she has spoken with the mayor since she was discharged from GreeneStone Muskoka rehab facility on May 15 and that they are just friends.

“People say I was sexual with the mayor and others there, but it is not even remotely close to the truth. Hell no. Rob and I were close buds and that is it. Nothing more,” she told the Sun.
