Justin Credible (Peter Polaco) recently spoke with Joseph Staszewski for the New York Post; you can read a few highlights below:
“I won’t see it. It’s not something that is going to uplift me. I try not to do negative things. I probably can imagine what I look like.”
Credible talks about his original intentions for the angle and why it wasn’t a good idea:
“Being buzzed, drunk, whatever, you don’t make the right calls. … It was my intention to work something cool off it. But especially with the young kids who aren’t experienced, they didn’t know how to react and these promoters are not experienced, so they didn’t know how to react.
It just ended up turning into something more than it really was. Not to demean it or downplay it. I definitely did what I did. … It’s a big deal for me because I drank.”
Credible talks about getting his life together and having the support to do it from DDP, director Eric Nyenhuis and his sponsor Doug Cartelli:
“All I’ve got to do is the work. They are providing me with the platform to do all this stuff and it’s about getting well and it’s about hopefully this will be a good story, not another bad thing. Hopefully this incident that happened will be the beginning of something good.”

The article also features quotes from DDP, Nyenhuis and Cartelli, who are also funding a documentary to chronicle Polaco’s recovery. Nyenhuis said:
“If nobody ever buys it or watches it, I want Pete to have it because it’s Pete’s story. He doubts himself every second of the day and uses drugs and alcohol to suppress it. … We get this whole thing shot and nobody watches it that’s fine. Pete can watch it and say people do care about me.”
