Dr Drew Pinsky

Character Dr Drew Pinsky Empire Jussie Smollett

JUSSIE SMOLLETT DUG HIS OWN GRAVE

Dr Drew summed up the whole unfortunate and dismal Jussie Smollett situation with one word. The celebrity doctor pointed out that Jussie has not been admitted to a mental hospital or rehab (defense lawyers encourage that in hopes of a less harsh sentence) therefore Dr Drew asserts that’s it’s not a mental health situation – it’s a CHARACTER issue. Which is worse, of course, because it means Jussie is a manipulative and self-serving person – wholly unsympathetic. On the upside, this situation has taught all of us not to jump to conclusions. Funny, we just heard is that Jussie is suddenly claiming he has an untreated drug problem… Dr Drew was right on target.

Celebrity Rehab Dr Drew Pinsky Mindy McCready Overdose Suicide

DR DREW HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MINDY McCREADY’S DEATH

#mindymccready #janetcharlton

Blaming Dr Drew Pinsky for the death of Mindy McCready or any of the other Celebrity Rehab patients who eventually overdosed is beyond ridiculous. Every one of his celebrity patients who died was a long term substance abuser and didn’t want to help themselves. Besides McCready’s suicide, actor Jeff Conaway, police brutality victim Rodney King, Real World participant Joey Kovar, and musician Mike Starr, have overdosed. It’s a sad fact that some addicts simply do not want to be “cured” and do not respond to any kind of help. Dr Drew doesn’t have a higher number of casualties than other addiction specialists- they‘re just more visible. Sadly, some people simply cannot be saved.

Booze Celebrity Rehab Crimes and Misdemeanors Dr Drew Pinsky Jason Wahler Real Estate

JASON WAHLER CREDITS DR DREW WITH CHANGING HIS WASTED LIFE

Dr Drew doesn’t have a high success rate with his addicted patients on Celebrity Rehab, but that’s the nature of the beast. Only time will tell, but it seems he might have succeeded with Jason Wahler. Lauren Conrad’s ex boyfriend on “The Hills” (who sometimes bears a striking resemblance to Colin Farrell) had six alcohol related arrests up until last June. Season 4 of Rehab is still airing, but Wahler says he’s cleaned up his act. He was “scared straight” when he realized he was drinking as much as a fifty year old alcoholic. Rooming with Jason Davis was another revelation. Wahler figured out what he DIDN’T want to do with his life. He says he’s moved back to Orange County and started skateboarding and surfing again. His family’s in the business, so he’s getting a real estate license. Good start.

Celebrity Rehab Dr Drew Pinsky Drugs The Wendy Williams Show

DR DREW WANTS TO KEEP YOUR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS OUT OF TEENAGERS’ HANDS

Dr Drew Pinsky, who’s become a steamy hot sex symbol for mature women, visited The Wendy Williams Show to promote his new anti-drug product called “Rx Locker.” It’s a box that fits in your medicine cabinet and keeps four prescription bottles under lock and key – and out of teenagers hands. Not a bad idea- and it only costs $15.00. Lindsay Lohan’s parents could have used one of these.
