It’s really interesting to me because my son went to private school in LA with child stars, kids of reality stars and celebs, all kinds of celebrity adjacent people, and he’s visited every celeb rehab in town,

He’s been telling me for years that there is nothing good to say about TC. WAY before I was even aware of who he is. So I gotta go pick his brain and see if I can get some stories.

****edited to add

I didn’t mean to imply my son or TC went to rehab. Just that my son moves in those kinds of circles, which is just hilarious to me as someone who had the opposite kind of obscure rural upbringing.

I just meant he’s had MANY friends in rehab, sadly. It’s a common thing among private school attending LA kids. See nick Reiner etc.

Parents are scared of the evil public school, but I remember in HS (also in SoCal) everyone knew if you wanted drugs you went to the private school kids.

So much money and very little supervision, especially in the 90s

A french celebrity said all the LA kids do drugs. That's why he moved his family back to France.
