Richard Grieco Drugs: Where Is He Today?
Richard Grieco went to rehab in 1997, according to Entertainment Weekly. According to the magazine, vanity motivated him because “I knew that if I looked like shit, I was never going to work.”
After ostensibly shouting at airline employees and exhibiting slurred speech, Richard got arrested for public intoxication.
According to TMZ, he was brought to police officers’ attention by an agent who denied the actor boarding at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Thursday.
He smelled of alcohol as he hunched over the counter, yelled at employees, and presented slurred speech. Grieco admitted to police officers that he drank two cranberry vodkas before his flight.
As the actor was being booked, police officers noticed the actor was unsteady on his feet. He was carrying a prescription Klonopin, which he says he takes to help with flying anxiety.
Richard should not have been mixing anti-anxiety medication with alcohol, according to cops. Richard was scheduled to fly again on Friday morning and insisted to TMZ that the incident was “not that big of a deal.”
Richard is the frontrunner to be named Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 2022 and is still active in Hollywood.
