Is he still a sex addict or did hitting his 40s slow him down?


I watched a documentary on him. He was repulsive in his 20s and 30s.

Vain, vulgar, and really ugly for me (I didn't like that hairstyle and mascara. Men in makeup is weird, unless you're Prince or Michael Jackson.)

But his youtube channel he seems like a better person these days.

Did he actually change his ways? Turn into a decent person?

i think getting off the hard drugs and alchohol cleared his mind. as did aging and maturity. when you get older like him i think the lowered sex drive, the mental clarity, and experience makes you kinda cringe looking back on yourself and realize theres more to life than good pussy.

i mean i wouldnt know im still young thats my focus but im sure thats what happened to this geezer

man, I'm pushing 50 and I still want sex multiple times a day. I can't wait for that to drop off.

He got off drugs and alcohol and works a 12 step program. In my experience those that honestly work a 12 step program, especially one which saves their lives like AA or NA, are the finest people in the world. As I said their lives depend upon being that way. I've known church goers who profess allegiance to God and good on Sunday but become completely different people the rest of the week. An addict working a 12 step program can't do that and stay clean and sober, and for them to drink or drug is to die. It's the true straight and narrow.

I heard he traded his drug and booze habit for sex. One addiction for another. So not sure if getting clean stopped his perverted ways.

reply

Maybe I dunno but I have to think it's highly unlikely considering how those programs work. The 12 steps are more or less universal and can be worked for any addiction, and it seems less than plausible that he would work to eliminate one addiction then wallow in another. Anything is statistically possible though.

Thinking about it though from what I understand that one of the recommendations is that if a recovering addict has crimes to answer to from the past then they are supposed to do it with honesty and face the music. I would imagine that to be a difficult thing though.

Its just shows that many of those things were performative. He behaved like that for attention. And then dropped it to become serious conspiracy theorist. Because no trumpists would take him serious if he would sit in his make up and speak with annoying voice. So he toned it down.

All those Hollywood people are fake.
