Robert Downey Jr.: Off the Wagon?
June 19th, 2008 by Evil Beet
The Crazy Days and Nights blog has an interesting (and obvious) blind item today:
To me, this one was a little heartbreaking to hear. This once troubled actor who has peaked and valleyed between A and C list his entire career depending on his drug use was thought to be clean and enjoying some big success once again. However, it is just that success that may have caused his most recent slip. Oh, he slipped alright. Twice is what I hear. Separate nights. The question is going to be whether it was truly just a slip or if this is going to be another long, twisted spiral downward.
Commenters the world around seem to agree that this is none other than Robert Downey, Jr.
Oh, Robert! Say it ain’t so!

A girlfriend and I were just talking about this last night! Not the blind, but how with all his newfound success, it’s very possible he could relapse and go back downhill again.
I truly hope not!

Oh no!

I hope it’s not RDJ, but sadly, it seems to fit.

I feel for him.
If you can do it, I can do it, Rob!

He’s just getting into character. Tony Stark has some pretty crappy times in the Iron Man and Avengers comics.
I kid, and I’ll be very sad if he gets back into a bad scene.

Send him back to Burger King!
He really seems to have a self-destruct button that he pushes whenever he is successful.
Too Bad!!

Maybe this time he’ll get it together, if not for himself then for his teenage son. I hope so.

i hope it’s not, but from what i hear slipping is part of recovery and perfectly normal. hopefully he will get back straight fast.

I hope it’s not RDJ. He’s been doing so well. I’ll say a prayer for you, Robert!

Hi.
I linked this article to my personal blog, and I just wondered if that’s okay. I know this might sound a little petty, but I just wondered if I have to claim any, like rights or something (:
anyway, I’be got my opinion written on there, whoever’s interested”

Sad. He is gifted. Drugs are such a waste.

slipping is as normal as getting into it for the first time
no big deal
it’s just one or two times
he can control it
stupid a**h***

June 19th, 2008 at 12:11 pm

*sadface*

He was just doing research for a new movie role!

Sounds like a load of crap, really. Has an air of maliciousness.
Why post this as a “blind item”… what is a blind item anyway?

ive loved robert downey jr. for a long time, and was so excited when he cleaned up his act and got his life together. i really, really hope that he hasnt fallen back into his old patterns.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
oh noooo! i hope it’s not true-for the first time in my life he is attractive to me-don’t ruin it!

Devilgirl I love that doggy face you have…I wanna kiss its nose

What do you expect when he hangs out with Tatum O’Neal (no, not really).
Seriously though, if this is true what a loser.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:34 am
i think hes a really good actor. drugs are just such a waste.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
You didn’t cite a single source and you’re doing this for attention. Way to be a hack.
June 20th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
I hope he sues you. What a load of crap.
