Lafayette Mayor Admits, ‘I’m an alcoholic’

VIDEO – HI, MY NAME IS JOSH –

Aug. 16, 2022 – Knowing that the second word in Alcoholics Anonymous does not apply to him, Guillory admitted:

“And Look, I’m an alcoholic, so I have two options — I either drink or I don’t.”

He says his rehab lasted 21 days. However, a news release on July 25 announced that he had entered a facility — four days before the public was notified. Then on Friday, August 12, we were informed that he had returned after a successful completion.“It was 21 days — started on a Thursday and ended on a Thursday, seven times three.”

Guillory returned to office last week still facing questions about possible ethics violations from an equipment company that he and his wife founded.

“This is not a company that has made any money,” said Josh Guillory. “It is under my name and we in no certain terms are dealing with any companies involved in government contracts.”

He also answered questions about the law class he teaches at UL Lafayette which he says is only two-and-half hours per week, and does not interfere with his daily duties.

When asked about his use of police protection and the money used to pay for that, he said:

“I didn’t create it — it was there before I got into office and I don’t think they call themselves dignitary detail anymore, but I defer to the police department and the sheriff’s department. They assess risks.”

“Whoever is mayor-president in the future maybe it’s eight or 10 years from now, but they’re going to have detail too,” Jamie Guillory said.
