Mary Kate Olsen

How can you ever forget the cute twins from the hit TV show Full House ? Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were the cutest kids in the industry back then. The couple did almost everything together. After the end of the show and the beginning of their careers, the girls did not spend a minute apart. They have always been each other’s backbone and pushed each other to achieve more. Both were clean and well behaved and in the good books of the media for most of their lives. Although Ashley has remained in the media’s good books and has not received negative publicity, Mary-Kate has been quite the opposite.

People who knew her would know that her decision to get help wasn’t based on a single incident and that her case got nothing but only got worse over time. She had lost a lot of weight and was having trouble eating. People and fans believed she was anorexic. At the time, Mary-Kate was still 18 years old and being cared for by her parents.

Later, it wasn’t a hidden message that Mary-Kate became addicted to drugs. Though the drug she was using wasn’t actually made public, she was in rehab. Rumors of her death after being withdrawn from rehab are also rife. They say an addict needs to go through a few rehab sessions before they can fully let go. Mary Kate has always been drawn to the nightlife, dating older men and experimenting with drugs.

Nicole Richie

The adopted daughter of Lionel Richie, Nicole grew up in Beverly Hills. Seeing the high life since childhood and always getting what she wanted, she got bored very quickly. Her father wasn’t around much, meaning no one was watching her during her growing years. We all know that teenage years can turn out to be very bad if left unchecked. The rush to want to do something different and try to be “cool” can ruin a lot of things, especially with the introduction of alcohol and drugs.

She was introduced to cocaine at the age of 18 and was addicted to it. She had received help to get rid of her addiction. She then became addicted to heroin for a long time. At this point her second session took place, in which she received help. She was arrested in 2003 for heroin possession. It was at this point that she realized she was wasting her life. Later in 2006, she was arrested for driving under the influence. She also claims to have gotten tattoos when she was 21 and is not at all proud of them now. She thinks her tattoos remind her of her terrible teenage years.

Unlike many celebrities, Nicole has broken out and has stated that she has been clean and drug-free ever since. She is the mother of two children, Harlow (7) and Sparrow (6). It was her role in The Simple Life that made her famous. After that, she appeared as one of the three mentors on NBC’s Fashion Star . In 2014 she launched her own reality show called Ehrlich Nicole which premiered on VH1.

Angelina Jolie

One of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood,Angelina is now an actress, producer and director. The all-rounder and mother of 7 children did not always lead a normal life. Angelina is one of the few people who has always been open about her drug use.

Angelina had a drug dealer named Franklin Meyer, who was the source of her drug supply, primarily cocaine and heroin. She usually went to his place to get drugs, but in this one instance, she asked him to come to his place. While waiting at Angelina’s house, Franklin filmed her on the phone while she was high. He did it for money and it went public soon after. She looks extremely thin and unhealthy in the video. Her dealer told the National Enquirer about how he would sell her cocaine and heroin for several years. He also mentioned that she was high the whole time and had needle marks all over her arm.

Jolie has even opened up about trying drugs, alcohol and suicide to overcome her loneliness. She became even more depressed with the constant drug use she was using. She started in her early 20s and continued for a while. She even spoke about how she would cut herself with knives during the time she was obsessed with death. She shares how she went through and survived the dark, harder and scarier times. If you think about it, celebrities in their early 20’s who had high drug supply haven’t had much luck with their lives. Jolie was one of the few that came out soon. The turning point in life came when she became the Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).

Oprah Winfrey

Yes, it’s unbelievable, but it’s true. Oprah was addicted to crack cocaine in her early days in the 1980s. Crack cocaine is an extremely addictive substance and has been proven to transform the lives of many people, including celebrities. Oprah was addicted to it for several years and later took help to overcome her problem. She was a great story and an inspiration to many of those who were in the same situation as her.

Oprah hasn’t been very fortunate to be given acomfortable life like many. She had been subjected to abuse and poverty since childhood. After that, she faced the terrible trauma of losing her child. When faced with these many problems, one must look for a quick solution. This eventually led to this billionaire becoming addicted to the dangerous drug. Emotional torture and mental stress are very common reasons for a person to seek solace in drugs. In the ’80s, Oprah admitted she was addicted to crack cocaine and needed help to get over it.

Crack cocaine is one of the hardest addictions to let go of, especially when the addiction stems from childhood problems. The relief one gets from using this drug makes the emotional stress go away, making it extremely difficult to quit the drug. However, Oprah, the strong woman that she is, went to rehabilitation for professional help and came out of her addiction strong and healthy. She then started taking care of herself and watching what she ate. After overcoming this deadly addiction, Oprah focused on helping people with similar problems and taking care of their health. Despite becoming addicted in her 20s, Oprah overcame her addiction and is now one of the most powerful women in the world.

Elton-John

One of the pioneers of the music industry in the Elton John was one of the most popular characters at the time. With breathtaking music, Elton rose to stardom faster than most musicians. The 1980s were known as the period when people used drugs very frequently. People from all walks of life took up cocaine and heroin as an escape substance. The risk of contracting AIDS was high. Many celebrities also did cocaine. One of the most prominent among them was Elton John.

Elton was very open about his drug use in the ’80s. He accepted that he had thrown away a large part of his life while dealing with drugs like cocaine and heroin. He was also addicted to alcohol. Elton battled his addiction in 1990 and is now drug free. Elton has also spoken out about having a very bad side with him during his cocaine days. People would get scared of hanging with him for too long. There was that one time when Elton was in a hotel and was woken up by thunder. He lashed out at the manager and told him to do something about the weather! For Elton, fatherhood changed him a bit. In 2013 he became a father for the second time. He always thought he would be testy with children, but he seemed to be getting better every day.

He almost died in the summer of 2013 from appendicitis, which was misdiagnosed as an intestinal infection. It was during a one-stage performance that his appendix ruptured. He was lucky in this situation, because if an attachment bursts, you have to reach the hospital in an hour! Although the doctors told him he would be fine in a day, the procedure lasted 4 days and he was in a lot of pain. Because of the morphine, he kept hallucinating and didn’t sleep for 4 days.

John’s case is like Angelina, in which both of them had overdone drug use but were just lucky to be okay.

Dennis Quaid

One of the hottest young actors of the late ’70s, Dennis had a fleet of mad women behind him. Hollywood life in the ’80s takes you back to the Woodstock era, when people took drugs from dawn to dusk. Dennis was one of the celebrities who was clearly addicted to it. He mentioned that cocaine was part of a theatrical budget and was signed off as a “minor move” when it was passed on to producers. Cocaine was available to all actors during filming.

Dennis admitted his drug addiction and said he takes it to cope with the fame that has come with his career. Dennis was one of the first to eliminate his addiction. The Dragon Heart actor said that one of the biggest reasons he got hooked was because it was so open and accessible back then. At one point, Dennis’ addiction got so bad that he had to jump as soon as he woke up. He spoke about how he would connect in the morning and swear he wouldn’t do it again, but the addiction took over. Excessive use of this substance began to reflect on his health and work. He knew he had to let go. In the 1990s, he began seeking medical help.

Due to his habits, he had depicted an image of a”Bad Boy”, but Dennis soon realized that if he didn’t let go, it could cause serious damage or even death. He managed to pull through and willfully come out of his addiction. He then called the famous film Soul Surfer The story is based on the real-life story of a shark survivor, Bethany Hamilton.

He was married to former real estate agent Kimberly Buffington since 2004 and the couple have twins named Thomas and Zoe. Dennis is now 61 years old and is doing fairly well and in good health.
