Johnny Depp Opens Up About Drugs, Debt, Divorce In Bonkers Interview
What"s the trouble with Johnny Depp?
It"s a question that fans and former fans have been asking for the past two years.
It"s also the intriguing title of a new Rolling Stone piece that purports to offer some answers.
Journalist David Rodrick spent three days — well, nights, as Depp keeps vampire hours — hanging out with the increasingly controversial actor, and it seems there was no topic that wasn"t up for discussion.
Depp"s massive debt and recent legal battles, his ugly divorce from Amber Heard, and his prodigious appetite for inebriants were all addressed in a wide-ranging conversation that helped to shed some light on Depp"s demons.
Is this Johnny showing the world his vulnerable side?
Or have we all just been taken in by a man who"s made a very nice living off his ability to manipulate the emotions of others by transforming himself?
Decide for yourself with this list of the most bonkers revelations from Johnny"s most candid interview to date.
1. One Mean Mom
“My mom was maybe the meanest human being I have ever met in my life,” Depp tells Rodrick at one point, adding that his mother often struck her and hurled objects at them.
2. A Traumatic Childhood
“There were irrational beatings,” says Depp. “Maybe it’s an ashtray coming your way. Maybe you’re gonna get clunked with the phone.”
3. A Complex Relationship
“She could be a real bitch on wheels,” Depp says of his mother, before noting that his first major purchase after gaining fame was a house for the woman who raised him.
4. An Attempt to Deflect?
Many have interpreted Depp’s comments about his enduring love of his mother despite the abuse she inflicted as an effort to deflect allegations that he was abusive to his former wife, Amber Heard.
5. "Slim" to "Scum"
Depp signed a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits him from talking about Heard — but Rodrick notes that a tattoo on Johnny’s hand that used to feature Heard’s nickname, Slim, has been altered to read, “Scum.”
6. Speaking of Abused Women…
Depp goes on to comment on the #MeToo movement and the accusations against “goliath Shrek thing” Harvey Weinstein. He’s no fan of Harvey, but his remarks aren’t exactly in perfect alignment with contemporary feminism, either.
Kate Spade: Drugs Found at Scene of Suicide, But...
We have an update on the tragic death of Kate Spade.
As previously reported, the iconic fashion designer was found dead on June 5 inside her Manhattan apartment.
The cause of death has been ruled a suicide by hanging.
Since this awful news went public, celebrities from across various industries have sent their condolences to Spade’s loved ones, while also expressing their shock and sadness over this development.
Spade was only 55 years old at the time of her death.
Now, TMZ has posted an update on the situation, writing on Thursday morning that drugs were found at the scene of Spade’s suicide.
But there’s a pretty big catch to this detail:
The drugs were not illegal.
According to law enforcement, officers looking through Spade’s Park Avenue residence instead came across the anxiety pills, which were prescribed to the designer.
It’s not even clear at the moment whether or not Spade has any of these meds in her system at the time of her passing.
Previously, Spade’s sister had come out and said her famous sibling had been battling Depression and/or other forms of mental health disease in the years and months leading up to her hanging.
We cannot say for certain if she was ever diagnosed officially, however.
Other insiders have said that Kate’s state of mind took a turn for the much worse after she and her long-time husband, Andy, went through a very difficult period in their marriage last year.
Andy has said in a lengthy statement that he and Kate were separated, but would occasionally dine together or spend time together for the sake of their 13-year old daughter.
This is what Andy Spade said in his emotional response to his estranged wife’s suicide:
Kate was the most beautiful woman in the world. She was the kindest person I’ve ever known and my best friend for 35 years”My daughter and I are devastated by her loss, and can’t even begin to fathom life without her.
We are deeply heartbroken and miss her already…
Kate suffered from depression and anxiety for many years. She was actively seeking help and working closely with her doctors to treat her disease, one that takes far too many lives…
Our daughter was our priority.
We were not legally separated, and never even discussed divorce. We were best friends trying to work through our problems in the best way we knew how…
My main concern is Bea and protecting her privacy as she deals with the unimaginable grief of losing her mother. Kate loved Bea so very much.
Spade allegedly left a suicide note that singled out her child and emphasized how much Bea meant to her.
This is just tragic all around.
Kate’s funeral is being held Thursday in Kansas City, Missouri, where she was born and raised.
We continue to send our thoughts to her loved ones and we hope Kate Spade is resting in peace.
Here is a look at other celebrities who have also died in 2018, including a few prominent ones who also killed themselves. RIP to all.
Kate Spade Had Anxiety Meds in Her Room, No Illegal Drugs
Cops investigating Kate Spade’s suicide found a variety of anxiety meds at her death scene, but no illegal drugs … TMZ has learned. Law enforcement sources tell us NYPD officers combing through Kate’s Park Avenue home came across the anxiety meds,…

Avicii Cause of Death Update: Drugs Found Near Late DJ"s Body
Last week, the music world was rocked by the news that world-renowned hitmaker Avicii had passed away at the age of 28.
Rumors about Avicii’s cause of death began to circulate almost immediately, with several outlets reporting that his unexpected passing was the result of lingering health issues resulting from a lifelong struggle with alcoholism.
Now, however, there’s reason to believe that may not have been the case.
Earlier today, the family of the late artist – whose real name was Tim Bergling – issued a statement in which they implied that Avicii may have taken his own life.
Now, an official close to the investigation has revealed that drugs were found at the scene of Bergling’s death.
“I do know drugs were found on the scene,” a spokesperson at the Muscat Governorate Police Headquarters tells Radar Online.
Avicii’s lifeless body was found in the city of Muscat, Oman, but little is known about the condition in which it was found, or why the DJ had traveled to the country.
The statement published today by his family does not explicitly state that Avicii committed suicide, but it suggests that he was crippled by his struggles with anxiety and depression in the weeks before his death.
“Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions,” the statement reads.
“An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.”
The statement references Avicii’s decision to retire from touring in order to focus on his health following a pancreatitis diagnosis:
“When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music,” the family writes.
“He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace,” the statement continued.
“Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight.
“Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive.We love you, Your family.”
We will have additional updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Kailyn Lowry Blasts Jenelle Evans: Is She on Drugs?!
Another day, another round of ridiculous Teen Mom 2 drama.
The latest beef between Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans began with yet another ignorant-ass social media comment from David Eason.
And it doesn"t look like the bad blood will be letting up anytime soon.
The short version is: David mom-shamed Leah Messer; Kail defended her friend; Jenelle defended her husband, and all hell broke loose.
The longer, more popcorn-worthy version is this:
1. Better Days
Believe it or not, there was a time when Kailyn and Jenelle actually got along. In fact, Kail once bailed Jenelle out of jail! They were simpler times…
2. Those Days Are Done
These days, Jenelle and Kailyn seem to flat-out hate each other, to the point that Evans has been accused of threatening her former friend with physical violence. And their current feud just keeps getting uglier.
3. The Offending Photo
It all started when Leah Messer posted this photo on her Instagram page. Seems innocent enough, right? Well, apparently Creepy Dave Eason didn’t see it that way.
4. David’s Two Cents
In a comment posted on Leah’s Instagram page, Eason stated that he feels her daughter is wearing too much makeup. He adds that Leah should have asked permission from the girl’s father before allowing her to leave the house looking that way.
5. WTF, David?!
Leah was understandably taken aback by Eason’s comment, and she let him know as much. “Why are you even commenting on my post?” she replied.
6. Jenelle Claps Back
In a truly bizarre Instagram story, Jenelle tore into Leah for taking issue with David’s comments. Evans seemed unhinged in the footage, and fans were quick to point out that her argument was riddled with holes…

Prince"s Counterfeit Vicodin Pills Contained Mixed Bag of Drugs

Scheana Marie Explains Rob Valletta Obsession: I Was on Drugs!
If you’ve been watching Vanderpump Rules this season, then you may be under the impression that Scheana Marie has had one thing and one thing only on her mind.
We’re talking, of course, about Rob Valletta and his uncanny ability to count a TV on the wall in 7 minutes flat.
Scheana’s obsession with Rob has reached the level where some fans are genuinely concerned about her mental health.
But despite all appearances to the contrary if you scanned Scheana’s brain, the monitor wouldn’t show an endless loop of shirtless Rob securely attaching a 32-inch Samsung above a fireplace.
No there would also be interludes in which Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson hang on Scheana’s repeat the same boring-ass anecdotes ad nauseum.
You see, Scheana isn’t just obsessed with Rob; she’s also obsessed with the devil’s lettuce.
And she says the reason she’s prattled on about Rob literally every freakin’ time she’s been on camera this season is that her weed-addled brain simply can’t keep track of which stories she’s already told.
Appearing on Heather McDonald’s podcast this week, Scheana responded to the inevitable question of why she was perpetually unable to up shut about Rob, despite the fact that her friends weren’t even pretending to be interested in what she had to say.
“I watch it and I just want to reach in the TV, grab Scheana on Vanderpump Rules and strangle her and be like ‘Shut up!’” joked Scheana.
“Here’s my excuse. Look y’all, I smoke a lot of weed. I tend to repeat myself a lot. I forget things a lot. And I think I was just so impressed by him that I just kept saying it over and over again.”
Here’s the thing:
We appreciate that the cast of Vanderpump is showing their progressive side by openly talking about their love for the jazz cabbage, but Scheana blaming her stalker mentality on too much THC is quite lame.
These days, Rob and Scheana are broken up, and while she says she’s still holding out hope for a reconciliation (of course), she’s also finally willing to discuss the specifics of their split.
And naturally, she blames the whole thing on her castmates.
As you may recall, one of the first dust-ups of this drama packed season had to do with allegations that Rob cheated on Scheana with a random hostess.
While he denied the accusations and she believed him, Scheana says she now believes that confrontation was the beginning of the end of their relationship.
“I stepped outside and I called him. I was like ‘look, I just got to tell you something, obviously I don’t believe it,’ thinking that he’d be like these girls are so silly. But no,” Scheana recalled.
“Sadly, like literally, his switch just went to off in that moment on that phone call,” she revealed. “And when he got back, nothing was ever the same.”
Sheana and Rob continued to date for several months, but from the way she describes t, that period consisted of her clinging to the corpse of a long-dead relationship:
“I kept telling myself that everything was fine and he would get over it, that he just needed a little bit of time. And then a week [passes], and then two weeks, and he just never became himself again,” she told McDonald.
“And after filming wrapped, about two weeks later, he broke up with me.”
As for the specifics of how he cut loose – well, it’s unfortunate that it dumping wasn’t caught on tape because this is a textbook case of “he’s just not that into you.”
“I was over there [at his place], it was fantasy football time and that was priority that night,” Scheana said.
“So he was literally doing his drafts and I’m just sitting there like are we going to talk? Like what’s going on? And finally he finished picking his players and I was cut and traded.”
We assume that joke was followed byu an extended crying jag.
Watch Vanderpump Rules online to remind yourself of just how psychotic Scheana became at one point.
Amber Portwood: Was She on Drugs When She Got Pregnant?!
Believe or not, Amber Portwood will become a mother of two sometime very, very soon.
Believe it because it’s a fact, the “or not” part is just in there in case you need a little more time to prepare yourself for the mess that is Amber caring for another human life.
Yep, Amber is due to give birth on May 13th — Mother’s Day — with her second child, her first with boyfriend Andrew Glennon.
They already know they’re having a boy, and she’s said that they’ll name him James Andrew Glennon.
This will be her second time giving birth, and she’s also suffering from gestational diabetes, so there’s a decent chance James will make an appearance before his due date.
And when he does … well, we’ve got some concerns, we’ll say that much.
It’s been several years since Amber had her daughter Leah, but as we saw on those first few seasons of Teen Mom, she just wasn’t that great at caring for her.
She left her crying in her crib regularly, or so it seemed on the show, and sometimes she’d throw in a bottle of Kool-Aid to comfort her.
When Leah cried, it always seemed to overwhelm Amber, much more than the average mother. Which isn’t great, because in case you haven’t heard, babies tend to cry quite a bit.
The big thing that got her in trouble though was how she just wasn’t able to control herself around Leah. We all saw her beat Gary right in front of her, not to mention the countless times she screamed at him in her presence.
There’s just been so, so many examples of Amber’s questionable parenting skills, even recently, that it’s hard to be hopeful that things will be any different this time around.
And when you consider the things that she admitted during last night’s Teen Mom OG reunion special … it’s just not looking great.
Amber did her segment via Skype, since presumably she wasn’t up to flying to New York, and things started out rough when she got angry after watching a recap of her scenes from this season.
Once again, she took issue with Gary’s totally fair and true remarks about how she’d been an absent mother, and once again, she defended herself by saying she was too depressed to see her daughter.
“The main thing is when I was going through everything after me and Matt broke up, people have to understand, I was with that man for three and a half years,” she explained.
“It was a really horrible relationship. It was an abusive relationship — mentally and physically.”
She said that the relationship “turned me into a really unhappy, depressed person and I couldn’t keep going on with that.”
As we saw in the last season, he failed a lie detector test with a question about infidelity, and she said “that was the end because I couldn’t stay with a man who would ever do that to me.”
She finally broke up with him for good last May, and — this is the relevant part — after the split, she said she “spiraled out of control.”
Dr. Drew asked her if she’d managed to stay sober during that tough time, and she admitted she hadn’t.
“I was drinking horribly,” she revealed. “I might not have been doing a lot of drugs and things like that but I was definitely trying to drown my sorrows.”
So wait, if she wasn’t doing “a lot of drugs,” does that mean she was doing some drugs?
Many viewers seem to think so.
On Marriage Boot Camp, Amber has been completely out of control, and some people think that her behavior there is more indicative of drug abuse than drinking.
Right after filming, Brandi Glanville even seemed to insinuate that she was abusing pills during filming, which was her drug of choice before she went to prison.
These days, Amber does look and sound a lot healthier and much more stable than she did last year.
But if she was drinking this much and possibly dabbling in drugs during the same time she conceived?
Amber, why do you have to worry us like this?
Maci Bookout: YES, Ryan Edwards Is Still On Drugs!
Not surprisingly, last night"s Teen Mom OG reunion focused largely on Ryan Edwards" struggles with addiction.
If you watched the show this season, you know that Maci Bookout wanted Ryan to take a drug test before she would allow him to spend time alone with their son, Bentley.
And if you"re up on the latest reports about Ryan, you know that her fears were completely justified.
Last month, Ryan was arrested for a probation violation stemming charges of possession of heroin.
As we learned last night, Maci"s not saying "I told you so," but she"s also not backing down from her assertion that Edwards is not fit to be a dad…
1. Facing the Music
The reunion was taped before many of the latest revelations about Ryan came to light. Still, it wasn’t an easy night for Maci’s baby daddy or for his long-suffering wife, Mackenzie Standifer.
2. What Maci Knew
Even before Ryan’s latest arrest, Bookout maintained that he was back on drugs. She insisted that he submit to testing as part of their custody agreement, but Edwards refused.
3. Where There’s Smoke
When Edwards refused to be tested. Maci concluded that he was still using. The past few weeks have sadly validated her claims.
4. Some Things Never Change…
On last night’s reunion show, Maci revealed to Dr. Drew Pinsky that she still believes Ryan is in no position to properly care for his son. Ryan basically confirmed as much in his own interview with Pinsky.
5. Reunion Ryan
Ryan spoke about his struggles with substance abuse, and even though he made it sound as though his addictions were well behind him, he also revealed that he’s putting very little effort into maintaining his sobriety.
6. A Troubling Revelation
Along with much of the audience, Pinsky was stunned by the revelation that Ryan has virtually lost contact with his therapist just months after leaving rehab. Dr. Drew was also shocked by the fact that Ryan blames the show for his inability to continue treatment.

Jax Taylor FLIPS OUT on Lisa Vanderpump: Was He on Drugs?
When Jax Taylor appears on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, it’s not uncommon for callers to inquire as to the quantity of cocaine that disappears up the Vanderpump Rules star’s surgically-enhanced nose on a nightly basis.
Based on what we saw last night, the answer cannot be given in terms of grams or even ounces, and instead must be envisioned as a relief map of Tony Montana’s desktop.
What we’re saying is, Jax appears to have been halfway to the moon on Colombian marching powder during his latest tirade at SUR, and the resulting sh-tshow could cost him both his fake job (bartender) and his real one (reality TV powder keg).
We joke about Jax’s consumption of booger sugar (kind of), but it’s not hard to see how he ended up so wound up during the climactic of last night’s episode.
Basically, a series of escalating conflicts had Jax’s fight or flight brain in high gear, and we doubt even Kelsey’s magic reiki rocks could have calmed him down.
First, he confronted the random SUR waiter who we’ll call Zoolander about his alleged crush on Brittany Cartwright.
Shortly thereafter, he locked horns with Scheana Marie, who tried to fix Zoolander up with Brittany.
After that, Jax got into it with James Kennedy over allegations that James hooked up with Kristen during the recent group trip to Mexico.
Unfortunately for Mr. Taylor the situation came to a head just as Lisa Vanderpump walked into SUR to check otu “See You Next Tuesday” for herself.
Lisa tried to calm Jax down, and well … it didn’t go smoothly:
“F–k you all,” shouted a wild-eyed Jax in the middle of his place of employment.
“F–k you all, you f–king lying sacks of goddamn s–t. F–k you all,” he continued, making a solid case for hinself as the most unhinged individual in the realty television landscape.
Astonishingly, he then made the baffling decision to flip Lisa off, which predicably led to him getting expelled from the restaurant.
“Of all the places that you choose to have a meltdown, why choose the place that has paid your bills for the last seven years?”
“Of hundreds of employees, I’ve never had anybody speak to me the way you speak to me,” Lisa continued after Jax refused to leave.
“You’re arrogant and you’re obnoxious. You’re acting like a little f–king baby.”
At that point, Taylor broke the fourth wall and removed his microphone, leading some viewers to theorize that he’d quit the show, especially since all of this comes on the heels of rumors about Jax breaking up with Brittany and movin to Florida.
Needless to say, #PumpRules Twitter went wild.
“It only took 6 years, but we, the fans of #PumpRules, finally get what we deserve: a full blown Jax coke tantrum,” wrote one fan.
“Could you imagine being at SUR as Jax had that ungodly meltdown? Bc that would be a dream come true for me,” joked another.
“Next season. Jax: the intervention,” a third remarked.
But the tweet of the night belongs to Ira Madison III wh threw it all the way back to James’ “it’s not about the pasta” comments from earlier this season:
“How much pasta did Jax have tonight?”
We think it’s time for Mr. Taylor to put down the grated parm and stick to oregano.
Watch Vanderpump Rules online for more troubling behavior from the man we like to call the West Coast Situation.

Maci Bookout: Ryan Edwards is Still Doing Drugs!
If you"ve been keeping up with the comings and goings of Ryan Edwards, you"d probably have some serious doubts that he"s currently clean and sober.
And that"s for many, many reasons.
Ryan was shooting up heroin, and that"s not exactly known as an easy habit to kick. He did go to rehab, but he left before completing even 30 days.
When he got home, he promptly began drinking, and we"ve seen him with a beer in hand in quite a few Teen Mom scenes since then.
None of that is great, but in the past few weeks, things have seriously begun falling apart for him.
He was arrested late last month for violating the probation he was on for an arrest last April — possession charges — and it was also revealed that he"d been creeping on ladies on Tinder again.
Both of those things are especially bad since right at that same time, the news came out that Mackenzie Standifer is pregnant with their first child together.
What else … oh, Maci Bookout and her family filed orders of protection against him because he"d been threatening to kidnap Bentley, and also because he threatened to murder Maci"s husband.
So yeah, you may have had an inkling that Ryan isn"t exactly drug-free these days.
But in this sneak peek for the season finale of Teen Mom OG, Maci is confirming it.
In the clip, Maci and her mom sit down for a nice little lunch together, and she breaks the news that Ryan is going to be a father again.
"Uh, I"m sorry, what?" Mama Bookout says in response, which is pretty much what we all said when we heard the news, too.
She also says that she "thought Ryan wasn"t about that life right now," which is still true.
Mackenzie is pregnant, but Ryan told her to call him when the is about three, so it feels safe to say that he"s still not about that life.
Maci shrugs and says that she has no clue, and her mom tries to look on the bright side by speculating that maybe having a baby "is what Ryan needs."
Bless her heart.
"Maybe, maybe not," Maci replies. "I feel like if this don"t do the trick then absolutely nothing will."
"He"s 30," her mother tells her. "Ryan"s going to do what Ryan wants to do. Babies and wives and baby mamas and stuff aren"t gonna do it for him."
She then asks if he"s passed the drug test to see Bentley yet, and Maci says that he hasn"t, which they agree is a good sign that he"s not clean.
"My people know people," Maci says. "I mean, he"s not clean. He"s not. Like that"s just it, he"s not."
The people she"s talking about are probably the same people that told her last year that his drug problem had escalated, and we all saw proof of that on the show, so it"s likely good information.
And the proof for that is what"s been happening for the past few weeks.
Maybe having a baby will help Ryan straighten up, but he wasn"t doing heroin when Maci had Bentley, and he was a deadbeat then, so we can"t imagine heroin would make it easier.
Watch the sad revelation in the video below:

Mackenzie Standifer: Ryan Edwards Isn"t on Drugs! Stop the Lies!
If some random person told you that Ryan Edwards of Teen Mom OG fame had failed a drug test and was back in rehab, you’d probably believe it, right?
After all, it’s not that hard to believe.
For the past few years, tons of Teen Mom viewers suspected that he had a drug problem, what with the way his eyes often appeared to be on the verge of popping out of his head in several scenes.
If that wasn’t the issue, it was his habit of nodding off — like he notably did in the scene when he drove himself and Mackenzie Standifer to their first wedding.
That footage was filmed in May of last year, and it was alarming, to say the least.
At one point, Mackenzie even had to grab the wheel for him, and we heard her asking him if he’d been taking Xanax “again” as she turned off the cameras in the car.
Shortly after that, Ryan was sent off to rehab, and in the current season of Teen Mom OG, it was revealed that he’d been addicted to heroin.
So for the timeline, he was doing heroin for a while, went to rehab, checked out early, got absolutely wasted at his November wedding, and now here we are.
And that’s why if we heard that he’d relapsed it wouldn’t exactly be the most shocking news in the world.
Earlier this week, a story began making the rounds — a story that claimed he had, in fact, had a bit of a setback with his sobriety.
The story was originally posted in a Teen Mom group on Facebook, where a person with “inside information” alleged that Ryan had failed a court-ordered drug test last Friday.
According to this supposed insider, he had meth and “various types of pills” in his system, and because of this, he lost visitation rights with Bentley.
A hilarious detail: the rumor also claims that he tried to bring in some secret urine to pass the test, but his little plan was ruined when he dropped the container and spilled it all.
The day after that, this person says that he checked himself into rehab, and that Mackenzie is telling everyone that he’s out of town “attending a truck driving school.”
Oh, and speaking of Mackenzie, because of this mess, she allegedly lost custody of her son, and now she’s only allowed to see him once a week at Ryan’s parents’ house (???).
Finally, the post claimed that Ryan “had a $ 1500 a day habit that included not only heroin, but cocaine, meth, xanax, and klonopin.”
That’s a whole, whole lot of information, right?
And Mackenzie is not here for it.
Pretty much immediately after this story began to get some attention, she made a statement to Radar Online — and she denied everything.
“It’s not true at all,” she insisted. “He’s right here next to me.”
She also added that “it’s disgusting to say something that has absolutely no merit,” and that “if Ryan failed a court-ordered drug test he would be in jail.”
Normally we’d have a hard time believing her, because goodness knows she’s struggled with being believable in the past — remember when she tried to say that she didn’t know anything about Ryan’s drug use until their wedding day?
But this time around, we definitely think she’s telling the truth.
If Ryan had failed a court-ordered drug test and if Mackenzie had subsequently lost custody of her child, there’s no way someone in a Facebook group would be the one to break that news.
As popular as Teen Mom gossip has become, there are several sites that keep an eye out for court documents concerning any of these people. Just think of how many court-related stories we’ve heard about Adam Lind.
Besides, the reunion was filmed last weekend in New York, the same day Ryan was supposed to have checked into rehab, and several people in attendance have confirmed that he was there.
Obviously Ryan isn’t doing super well with everything — the scenes from his second wedding proved that.
But making up elaborate stories about fake urine and failed drug tests and all kinds of child custody woes?
Not cool, guys. Not cool at all.

Florida Teacher Arrested for Giving Student Sex, Drugs
A Florida middle school teacher has been arrested due to an allegedly inappropriate relationship with one of her 14-year old students.
According to Volusia County Sheriff’s Department, Stephanie Peterson Ferri was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with two counts of lewd or lascivious battery, along with one count of transmission of harmful materials to a minor.
The details behind these charges are pretty gross.
Authorities say the 26-year old science teacher at New Smyrna Beach Middle School started a sexual relationship with an eighth grader in November.
Police were alerted to this sordid situation on Tuesday, February 27 after the student (who is a minor and therefore unnamed in this report) told his parents about these naked encounters.
The young teenager told officials that the relationship began after Peterson sent him a bunch of naked photos of herself.
It was then taken further when the two would start meeting late at night, with Peterson picking up her sexual prey at his home around 11 p.m. on various nights and dropping him back off around 1 a.m.
Police also allege that Peterson bought this individual marijuana and smoking pipes.
At one point, the victim’s grades started to slip as a result of this romance, which only prompted Peterson to tell him that he couldn’t tell anyone about what was going on, lest they get in major trouble.
But the 14-year old finally realized that only his teacher would actually get in trouble for her misdeeds.
Peterson was arrested yesterday and booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail.
She is being held on a $ 25,000 bond.
As you can see below, this case has elicited quite the range of emotions and reactions on Facebook.
Some people think Peterson is disgusting, others think the young man was anything but a victim in this situation.
Here’s a look at the wide range of responses:
Peterson reportedly began teaching as a substitute teacher in this same school district in 2010, prior to becoming a full-time teacher in August of 2013.
She started teaching at New Smyrna Beach Middle School three years later.
School district spokesperson Nancy Wait says that Peterson resigned on Monday for “personal reasons.”
Per the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department Facebook page:
Detectives are asking parents to talk to their kids, and anyone with information about any additional potential victims is asked to contact the VCSO Child Exploitation Unit at 386-323-3574.
