Former teen idol Leif Garrett’s life took a horrible downward spiral
probably have the greatest fan base that I could ever imagine for myself. They have stuck with me through thick and thin. And as you know Ive gotten myself in plenty of bad situations. There was a lot of bad decisionmaking. But at the same time I didnt have the parental guidance that I should have at that time.
Garrets tally of charges is extensive. He dropped out of rehab and had numerous runins with the police including whilst trying to buy drugs from undercover cops and trying to hide heroin in his shoe.
Despite making very effort at clawing his way back to the top Garrett ultimately returned to his old habits. Because of his laughable experiences with the law Garrett was selected to provide commentary on the comedy show Worlds Dumbest which chronicles the most amazingly stupid criminals.
The show also used other celebrities known for personal misadventures like Todd Bridges Tonya Harding Gary Busey and Danny Bonaduce.
Then Garrett landed a starring role on VH1s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew a show he did not want to appear on. Garrett accused the show of having him relapse for drama a claim emphatically denied by VH1.

In an interview the LA Times Garrett said They asked to get some footage of me using and I said I havent been using. They said We really have to get footage of you using. Anyway I was easily talked into showing them.
When a counselor with the production called him out suggesting he was still using Garrett walked off the show saying This is insanity and quite honestly I dont appreciate it.
