Scott Stapp Explains His Crazy Behavior, Admits He Has Bipolar Disorder

When Creed’s lead growler Scott Stapp yanked the steering wheel of his life and took a hard right into Crazytown last year, most people (including myself) figured all his ramblings about the CIA, Florida, Satan and seeing Fire People were the result of chasing too many dragons. Well, it turns out we were half right; Scott’s behavior was the result of drugs, but also had something to do with an undiagnosed case of bipolar disorder. Scott recently spoke to People about that “Scott, STAHP!” moment in his life. According to Scott, he’s “lucky to be alive” and blames his fucked up Intervention-level antics on a psychotic break that was brought on by booze and drug abuse.

“I was hallucinating. I drove around the United States for a month, following an angel that I saw on the hood of my car. In my delusional thinking, I thought my family was involved in ISIS, and that millions of dollars had been taken from me to support terrorism. All of it was nonsense. I was out of my mind.”

Eventually he checked into a facility to help him battle his demons, and they diagnosed him with bipolar disorder. Scott’s wife Jaclyn Stapp, who was doing the sayonara two-step over to a divorce lawyer’s office back in November but now seems to be sticking around, said the bipolar diagnosis didn’t exactly surprise her:

“It made sense. I definitely knew there was something going on for years, but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was.”

Scott says he’s currently sober and he’s working through a 12-step program. He also has a sponsor to make sure he doesn’t relapse, and is taking medication to manage the bipolar.

That loud whooshing sound you just heard was every resident of Florida breathing a sigh of relief that Scott Stapp’s erratic behavior was the result of too many drugs and too much booze. “Oh thank god! I was afraid it might be a side effect of living in Florida.“

Scott Stapp’s Wife Says He Claims That The CIA Has Told Him To Kill President Barack Obama

Oh brother. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for the already next-level messy story of current-day Scott Stapp to get any messier, but here we are with a story about Scott Stapp believing that the CIA is telling him to kill the President. In case you’ve forgotten, the last Scott, STAHP! story we got from Scott’s estranged wife Jaclyn was that Scott had been seeing fire people and hiding from ISIS while smoking/snorting/eating every drug ever created somewhere in Atlanta. Now TMZ says that Jaclyn is back with another Scott, STAHP! story titled The Tale of Scott’s Topless Bike Ride.

Jaclyn says that last month, she and her sister were forced to call 911 after they discovered that Scott had escaped from a mental health facility and was joy riding around the neighborhood topless on a bicycle, claiming that he was a CIA agent on a mission to kill President Barack Obama. Jaclyn says Scott had printed out 400 to 600 pages of CIA documents he found online and was carrying them around in a book bag with him on his bike, and urged the police to catch him and take him back to the mental facility.

Now, here’s where the story gets messier (yes, messier than a post-jailbreak topless bike ride). When the police found Scott, he claimed he was riding a bike because Jaclyn had stolen his truck and $6 million of his Creed money, and that the only reason he was locked up in the first place is because she put him there after he confronted her about it. That’s when the police decided he wasn’t crazy enough to get him locked up again and let him ride off.

This all happened last month, so I am hoping that all the meth Scott’s wife says he’s been smoking has melted the part of his brain that was telling him to kill the President. But in the event that it hasn’t and he still believes he’s part of the CIA, do you think it would be too much to ask Jesus and maybe the fire people to step in and hold an intervention asking him to return to the mental health facility? It wouldn’t be hard – Scott already has the hotel room.

Scott Stapp Was Recently Placed On A 72-Hour Psych Hold And Apparently Sees Visions Of People On Fire

It was reported yesterday that former lead growler of Creed Scott Stapp was dead broke, fucked up on crystal meth, and living in a van down by the river Holiday Inn somewhere in Atlanta, but it turns out things are a lot worse for Scotty than we thought.

TMZ says Scott’s life started turning into a soggy pile of turkey stuffing on November 10th, when he left a message for the dean of his children’s school informing them that be believed ISIS had targeted the school for an attack. Then on November 13th, Florida police found Scott Stapp wandering around on the side of the road incoherently rambling about someone trying to poison him and placed him on a 72-hour psych hold. Then to make matters messier, Scott’s estranged wife Jaclyn filed legal documents during his time in lock-up claiming that Scott has a bunch of guns and has threatened to kill himself and his AA sponsor.

Jaclyn also says that Scott hears voices, is super paranoid, and has seen visions of people on fire, all of which is the result of binging on weed, steroids, coke, crystal meth, PCP, Special K (the drug, not the cereal), and various prescription drugs. “Oh, so I guess I’m not good enough for your fancy fucked-up Florida drug party?” hissed bath salts.

Damn, if this isn’t the definition of a Jesus Take The Meth Pipe situation, then I don’t know what is. This is almost TOO crazy. I bet even Jesus is probably making excuses for why he can’t fly down to Atlanta (where Scott is currently hiding from ISIS and the fire people) and clean up this mess. “I…uh…have this thing at 3:00pm that I can’t move. Maybe St. Peter can take it?“
