DJ Fat Tony Reveals Dark Past with Crystal Meth Addiction

DJ Fat Tony, a British music star, shared his harrowing experience with crystal meth addiction during an interview on Olivia Attwood’s Olivia’s House podcast. The 60-year-old disclosed that his addiction became so severe that he pulled out his own teeth, reflecting on a dark period in his life.

He has been sober for 20 years but recounted how he believed he was in control of his addiction, despite its damaging effects on his physical and mental health. He explained that years of substance abuse left him anxious and caused serious dental issues, exacerbated by dehydration from not drinking water for nearly three decades.

He described his mental state during this time, stating that he thought his actions were normal and that he often picked at his gums with various objects. DJ Fat Tony noted that many people left his life as his addiction worsened, leaving him isolated.

He rose to prominence in the late 1980s as a key figure in London’s club and fashion scene.
