As I understand it, he was an actually recovered addict, so it would be “fueled by the damage drugs had already done to his brain before he quit”.
And I think it was crack.
Not to defend the guy, but for a while there pre COVID, while I was doing some volunteer work, I heard from a connected volunteer that Mikey was donating cases upon cases of pillows to rehab locations in his home state, which, speaking as the bleeding heart liberal that I am who wishes we provided more for services like mental health and addiction, is pretty awesome.

I mean, he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees like four or five years ago too, so since the Bible has specific things to say about THAT behavior too, it’s pretty easy to draw conclusions but even people who behave like shit bags can perhaps sometimes be nuanced.
People in the throes of full blown addiction don’t typically donate to rehab non-profits?
Or not, I dunno. I guess they might when they’re rich and don’t have to worry about how they’re going to afford their next baggie they probably don’t freak out about where their money is going as much. Shrug
he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees

This dude lies like he breathes. I don’t know why we’d assume the recovered addict bit would be any exception
