The Former WWE Star Detailed Past Substance Abuse Issues
Speaking with his old on-screen valet, Francine, in her Eyes Up Here with Francine podcast, Justin Credible opened up about his battle with addiction. He stated that it started with opioids and credited WWE’s rehab program in 2011 and the medication Suboxone for saving his life. He noted that he hasn’t taken opioids since 2011, but that he relapsed with alcohol later.
“I haven’t taken an opioid since 2011. Something in me said, ‘Well, you know, it’s not that bad if I have a drink once in a while’… that led to me just being a full blown drunk, drinking day and night,” Credible said.
The former WWE star also shared that he faced legal issues due to his addiction and that he spent 45 days in prison as a result.
“The first incident was with my father… I specifically said to him, ‘Oh, I’ll kill you.’ He called the cops, and that’s a threat. Every time there was a an argument or a drunken fueled debauchery, they’d come and I’m not supposed to be on the property. I spent 45 days in jail.”
