Ross first revealed his addiction in an April Kick feed but has since expanded on it in this new video, stating that he wanted to talk about it onYouTubebecause he found the community there to be more encouraging and supportive than the ones he had on streaming services. According to Ross, those who are addicted to opioids and other drugs may misjudge their addiction and unknowingly increase their usage, which can have detrimental effects. He also shared that he experienced physical side effects from withdrawals, such as a high temperature and stomach problems.
During the video, Ross spoke about how he discussed his addiction with therecently released Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, who urged him to “punish” himself by going to the gym right away rather than postponing it. Ross emphasized that he is now attempting to sweat everything out of his body, and is giving up junk food, going back to a strict diet, increasing weight, and spreading love.
Addiction, which Ross says is the “devil’s temptation,” is something that he advises people to fight against and pursue a better life. Ross is not the only streamer to have struggled with addiction. In recent years, several content creators have come forward with their own stories of addiction,including xQc’s gambling addictionand Asmongold’s drug addiction.
