The Peeper

In the past I have written about this former A+ list singer of a band.

They were everywhere for several years before crashing and burning do to his oversized ego, drug addiction and propensity for hitting on the girlfriends of his bandmates, all while married.

I have written about how he got kicked out of school for similar behavior.

Well, I was hanging out with some guys from a group that opened for this band for several months on tour and they said the singer would hit on their girlfriends too and his favorite way was when the group was on stage performing.

He would corner a girlfriend and say that if that girlfriend didn’t have sex with the singer he would kick the band off the tour. They said they talked to several other groups who gave the same story.

Also, our singer would hang out in the women’s bathroom backstage waiting for groupies or attractive women to come in and hit on them or offer to share drugs with them if they sexually serviced him.

It is no wonder that no one ever wants to work with him again.

Scott Stapp

Creed

In July 2002, Stapp was detained by Florida police and charged with reckless driving after he drove his SUV off the road before swerving back into the proper lane. He was released from custody after posting $500 bail.

In 2003, Stapp contemplated suicide after drinking a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey. He retrieved two MP5s from his collection and put the guns to his head, but did not pull the triggers after looking at a picture of his son, Jagger. He later stated he had been convinced that anyone involved with Creed wanted him dead so he would become a “Kurt Cobain martyr-type” and increase record sales. Says Scott, “I had crazy thoughts going through my head.” He later said that instead of killing himself, he fired a few rounds in his home. He said, “I was in the throes of prednisone coming out of my body I shot a few rounds off and instantly was like, ‘What the hell am I doing?’ So I put the guns away and ran out to the garage and got the putty and patched the holes.”

On Thanksgiving night of 2005, Stapp was involved in a fight with members of the band 311 at the Harbor Court Hotel in Baltimore. Members of 311 have stated that Stapp started the fight. After five minutes, hotel security broke up the fight and removed Stapp from the hotel. Stapp claimed that he did not instigate the altercation, and the director of security at the hotel stated that the fight “was definitely started by 311.” No charges were filed regarding the incident.

Stapp was arrested on February 12, 2006 (one day after his second wedding) for suspected intoxication.

In March 2006, Stapp filed a lawsuit to block the release of a sex video involving himself, Kid Rock, and four women.The suit was settled in 2007, with the defendant agreeing to pay Stapp an undisclosed sum and to refrain from distributing the video.

Stapp has stated that he attempted suicide in Miami in 2006. According to Stapp, he jumped over a balcony and fell 40 feet, fracturing his skull and breaking his hip and nose. He credited rapper T.I. with saving his life, stating “I laid out there for two and a half hours and my guardian angel showed up. He immediately took care of the situation and saved my life.”

In a 2006 Rolling Stone interview, Stapp acknowledged that he had become addicted to Percocet, Xanax and prednisone during Creed’s tour in support of Weathered.

On May 20, 2007, Stapp was charged with one count of felony assault stemming from a domestic violence incident. Stapp was later set free on supervised release. Stapp apologized to his wife and the public on May 23, 2007, and the charge was later dropped.

In 2015, Stapp told People that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder following a psychotic break. He commented that the diagnosis was “a big sign of relief, because finally, we had an answer” about the reasons for his mental health difficulties. In the same interview, Stapp indicated that he was sober and working through a 12-step program.- Source
