Fentanyl Addicts

Is that machine gun Kelly in the nearest future or present.

At least John looks clean

Well, I used too.

I’ve met a lot of recovering addicts that are very loud and obnoxious and attention hungry.

I heard that some of them are duplicitous.

Omg, I started watching the OP's video and kept thinking 'why does this guy wig me out so much, what's wrong with him?' I couldn't take it much longer (hate his vibe) so I went to the comments and the first comment is quite something. Of course, one can't verify these things but that dude gives me a bad vibe.

His valley dude accent hides the opiate addict tone of the voice, which is metallic. That I know well. When a drug abuser's voice sounds like metal, like a robot voice, it's opiates. Born rich, and handsome, and creative, he has thrown it all away. Tragic.

Oh... Stop the presses. I take that back. Born handsome. But apparently deep delusions of grandeur:

Youtube comments:

My name is Carson, the high school girlfriend John mentions at the beginning of the video, whose mother’s death was “his way out” of rehab. The extent of the lies in this video would be borderline funny if it wasn’t so sad and pathetic. 90% of everything he says is fictional. I’ve known this man since he was 14 years old, I know his family very well, and I dated him for 4 years. He did not grow up by any extent “wealthy”, was not a trust fund baby, did not grow up with au pairs. His mother was a stay at home mom who homeschooled him after he got kicked out of school and his dad owned a small computer company. They lived in a rough area of town. By no means was this guy neglected or abused in any way, his parents did EVERYTHING they could to fight his demons for him. He did not have a successful modeling or music career- absolutely everything regarding that was complete bullshit. He did not intern for Goldman Sachs (wtf). All of his “designer” clothes are either stolen, gifts from people, or knockoffs that he has made. He is a pathological liar and diagnosed narcissist. Ever since he was young he has had a grandiose sense of self that hasn’t been able to be contained to anything other than a genius talent for manipulating people. Ask anyone who knows him in Charlotte, they can confirm this is true, and if they can’t- it’s only because he has told them otherwise and like most of the people watching this video, they believed him. He is very smart but that’s how narcissists usually are. His struggles with addiction and homelessness are very true, but all of his successes and victimhood that he claims in this video are completely false. This man used and abused me for 4 years, and I’ve spent the last 7 years of my life trying to cut him off. But seeing him garner sympathy from thousands on the internet was my sign to finally speak up. His DREAM is to have thousands of people support, worship, and praise him. It’s wrong and quite frankly irresponsible for this channel to allow people to donate to his struggles without any knowledge of the truth. Please do not be fooled, and please do not give him any more attention or god forbid money that he has already maybe conned out of some of you. I do not have anything to do with him anymore, I almost took out a restraining order on him when we broke up. It’s taken years for me to gain the courage to speak publicly about this, but I think now is the right time. I’m praying this doesn’t come back to bite me in the ass, and that he doesn’t use this against me in any way. But I can’t sit back and watch him use thousands of people (and Mark) like he used everyone close to him.

I know the comment at r8 is true because I’ve met people just like this guy.

There is another comment a couple down:

What John failed to mention in this video is how many people have tried to help him. When he was staying in that abandoned building I constantly brought him food, water, blankets. I even took him off the streets and let him detox off of fentanyl on my couch for a week. But he is a thief and a liar and extremely manipulative. He acted very entitled like he owned my place. Ate all my food, made everything very dirty and even smoked inside. I do think he has a good side to him deep down, but John has been in every AA group in LA including every free rehab. He continues to lie about his life and life in this fake reality. He continues to use and manipulate and abuse people. I think that is his biggest downfall. I do hope he can stay sober eventually. But please don't fall for his lies or pleas for money/attention."

I think this is the Intervention addict that put Fentanyl addiction on the map for me in 2009

[quote]diagnosed narcissist

That's what I diagnosed him with 15 minutes into that video. There's also an antisocial streak permeating through the whole lot that makes him as repulsive inside as he is attractive outside. Oh, do I wish I could have had that BS detector back in the days, when I was in my 20s, that would have spared me some shady relationships...
