NO ONE DUCKS ADDICTION –
Jan. 28, 2022 – In the first of three posts marking the milestone moment, Weiss shared a photo of socks printed with writing that read, “Sober AF Two Years.” He thanked his followers for their love and support amid his years-long journey. He went on to share a message of support for others battling addiction, writing in the caption, “if you or someone you know is in need of treatment- 866.480.2496.” In follow-up posts, Weiss shared side-by-side photos of himself, the first showing him looking gaunt and nearly unrecognizable in the midst of his addiction, and the second showing Weiss smiling and healthy. After first sharing the image alongside a red heart emoji and a banner that read, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with 12 amazing steps,” a tagged post from friend Drew Gallagher appeared on his account reading, “Here’s a better comparison shot–> What a triumph! Congrats [Shaun Weiss] on 2 years sober!!! So proud of you brotha-look at you now.” Weiss’ battle with addiction had been documented for years, with the actor having been arrested for public intoxication in August 2018. He was later released without charges. Weiss later checked himself into rehab following the arrest, though in August 2020, he was arrested on charges of residential burglary and being under the influence of a controlled substance. That case was dismissed in July 2020 after Weiss completed a court-ordered drug program.
