Drugs, Death and Denial at a Rehab for the Rich

Robert Downey Jr? Reference to multiple blockbuster franchises.

Johnny Depp

Ben Affleck

Going with Depp. This sort of place seems like the kind he would be drawn to. A sleazy rehab. Great.

Affleck

Depp was my first guess.

Any other hot mess stars we can think of?

Armie but he wasn’t in franchises

There were blind items about Affleck and heroin years ago. I feel like this may be a younger star here.

Is this really the best location for rehab?

I don't think it is Robert Downey Jr. Didn't he have a soft detox in jail? And kind of is a functional addict now? Ben Affleck's drive to detox, where they stopped at Jack in the Box, and had pictures of him grabbing that greasy bag, seems more public. I don't recall Depp wanting, or going, to detox. So Affleck?

Ben at Jack in the Box

God, these two are pure criminals!

They are "bad for the Jews" as the say, a couple of evil money-grubbers!

You forgot to mention that pic is from August 2018, troll.

Do you think its Brad? Wouldn’t be surprised. There were rumors of him being on the hard stuff.

It's got to be Depp, Affleck, or RDJ based on the multiple franchises hint.

Brendad Ickson?

"who had RECENTLY appeared in multiple blockbuster franchises" - that doesn't sound like the Johnny Depp of 2020.

Chris Evans. Loves crack and bareback sex with hobos!

I thought Depp - BUT - would they hit him up for $$$ when he’s had financial problems?

Booze and Jack In The Box takeout, on the way to recovery from booze.

Affleck is such trash. But I don't think he does heroin.

Johnny Depp appeared in Fantastic Beasts in 2018. It's him.

Multiple franchises could also mean:

Evan Peters

Dwayne Johnson

Patrick Stewart

Karl Urban

Hugo Weaving

Orlando Bloom

Nicolas Cage

Jason Statham

Luke Evans

Simon Pegg

Samuel L. Jackson

Benedict Cumberbatch

Corey Stoll

among many, many others.

Johnny Depp has a mansion above Sunset Boulevard, near Sweetzer Avenue.

He's do close to the Red Door, rehab center he could walk there! Or maybe stagger there.

Matthew Perry apparently had an interest in some rehab but it folded. But I can't think of any blockbusters he was in. Sometimes BIs are a bit "generous" (major movie star, a-lister etc)

Either Affleck, Depp or Downey, Jr.

Johnny Depp.

Ben Affleck doesn't go to spurious rehabs for rich people. He goes to the real hardcore rehab places like Promises.

I think Depp detoxes on his private islands. I doubt he even goes to rehabs.

Many “sober living” homes have spurious reputations.

But, to establish one in that neighborhood is tantamount to advertising built-in relapse.

Used to be that the parking lot outside the biggest NA meeting, on Saturday night in Honolulu, was the best place to score drugs.

Rehab residences are best located away from urban temptation.

It's RDJ.

What blockbuster franchise was Depp in other than POTC?

Elijah Wood maybe?

The celebrity is clearly Dame Judi Dench.

Why did the suggestion that it was Chris Evans stick in my head? I hope it's not true because he has a rare quality I'd call "heartbreakingly handsome." To me he's "handsome" personified.

R31 You sound sure. Do you have insider info?

[R36] Downey, Jr. does make sense because it's far more likely for a past heroin user to relapse than a normal, successful person in their 30's who's never had a drug problem to become a heroin addict.

I'm guessing Owen Wilson. Depp would be dead by now if he was doing heroin with how much he drinks.

Owen Wilson was in Cars 3 and Zoolander 2.

That was my first thought too r1 but I looked and RDJr's interviews for Doolittle in early 2020 all seem normal. If he was in that much of a downward spiral in early 2020 like the article claimed, he wouldn't have been so lucid.

[R39] And Owen Wilson has had a past drug problem and suicide attempts. Too bad because he's talented, as is his brother. One of those rare instances in which actor brothers are both good but different enough types so that they probably wouldn't be up for the same roles.

The Fantastic Beasts thing, r32.

R41 the article also states that the actor let the center control his finances. That doesn't sound like Depp or RDJ.

That fraudster detox center operated in Dustin Lance Black's house.

Of course Dustin Lance Black funded Red Door. He's as dirty as Bryan Singer.

He rents his house to these creeps. Nothing says he funds it.

Isn't a Rehab on Sunset Blvd a contradiction in terms?

The trio of Downey, Depp and Affleck for some reason conjured up an image of Hollywood 7 dwarves. All named Dopey.

It's not RDJ. The article states that the rehab managers controlled the star's finances during the time he was in their care. Susan Downey would never agree to something like that, she'd remain firmly in charge. This has to be Depp, or someone lower on the Hollywood A-list that hasn't been mentioned.

Nothing about RDJ's recent public life suggests this. He's too busy wearing bunny ears and inventing vegan cheese.

"As the star’s addiction worsened in early 2020, Shohet became the client’s personal chaperone, known in the treatment field as a sober companion."

Assuming this means Shohet spent time with the person in question, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. But I doubt it's Depp and no way it's Downey.

This article is a hit job. Talks about a rehab facility for rich people being a place that “lures” high priced clientele. Um, yeah, it lures rich drug addicts by specifically telling them “This is a least harm facility. If you want that, fine. If you don’t understand what least harm means, we’ll tell you. And if you don’t want that, don’t come here.”

I would never run a place for spoiled druggies. You’ll get your ass sued off. I hope they’ve stashed money overseas that can’t be touched by rich addicted dicks.

Since when does the Hollywood Reporter do blind gossip items? Does the ‘attorney’ who runs crazy days crazy nights or Blind Gossip also work for the Reporter?

I think it’s Chrissy Metz.

Same thing as a place in North Carolina called Magnolia Landing. They claim to specialize in holistic help for women’s addiction and other issues but have no formal therapists as they claim to. They have aggressive newly “sober” women around women who have other issues like eating disorders and manic depression but the faculty has zero training for the other issues so the addicts bully them. It is a dangerous place for anyone especially people who don’t have just one thing (drug or alcohol addiction) they take money for services not provided, they lie about what they do and are equipped to do and they hire ex addicts as their “therapists”. They also allow the women to go offsite where they call their boyfriends to meet up for sex in parking lots. Fuck them for how they get away with this Dana Taylor should be in jail!

Quick everybody! Name every single troubled/normal actor that you can think of!!!!!

You bitches are morons.

Maggie Smith and the Downton and Harry Potter franchises. She'd got plenty of money for the best drugs.

Definitely Maggie. Loves her tina.
