The singer said he went to rehab last summer and didn't tell anyone about it.
MGK celebrates A full year of “total sobriety.” The rocker stopped by Bonnie XO. stupid blonde Rick Rickard was a guest on a podcast on Monday and shared that he hasn't had any alcohol since August of last year after spending time in rehab.
“I've become completely sober from everything. I don't drink anymore. I haven't drunk since last August,” he said.
In the podcast, the musician shared that he went to rehab shortly after wrapping up his European tour in 2023. “I didn’t tell anyone outside of [people] “The people closest to me,” he said. “It was the first time I went to rehab. They gave me lots of ways to deal with the body, to show where the anger came from, and ways to suppress it.
“I saw many psychiatrists, some of whom gave up on me and many therapists who did the same,” he continued. “But eventually I realized what my condition was and came to terms with it. It’s a constant tightrope walk.”
Podcast host Bonnie — who is married to MGK's “Lonely Road” collaborator Jelly Roll — shared that she invited him to a “drinking contest” with her and Roll and that MGK declined.
“This is killing me because I know I would have drunk that guy under the table,” MGK joked, noting that staying sober was “hard” before praising girlfriend Megan Fox for helping him throughout the sobriety process.
“Megan has definitely been very helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawal that comes with [sobriety],” He said.
“I still accept that this journey is going to be hard for me, but I accept it and I forgive myself,” he added. “I’m also very hard on myself, and I underestimate myself a lot. So, I think I’m happy that I was able to start feeling comfortable enough to show people who I am, because I kind of relied on my art to do that.”
