Trisha Paytas Opens up About Her Past Drug Use on Her New Podcast

Take a closer look at Trisha Paytas Opens up About Her Past Drug Use on Her New Podcast in our detailed breakdown.

It isn't really a secret that Trisha used to abuse substances. In June of 2014, she posted a selfie with the caption "2 years clean of hard drugs today @soberisexy," alluding to a previous addiction. As recently as June, after her breakup with vlog squad member Jason Nash, she told ET Online that YouTube is currently her only method of coping with personal struggles.

"I used to do a bunch of pills and drugs, but I don't do that anymore, so now I just do YouTube," she said. "And that's the only thing that gets me through. And Jesus, of course."

Trisha notes this in her podcast, saying "I haven’t done any illicit drugs since my birthday — so May 8, so clean and sober — well, of drugs."

KEEMSTAR also made a pass at Trisha's drug usage, quote-tweeting her on a reply he received from someone recovering from meth addiction. 

"Congrats! Hopefully, this gives some inspiration to @trishapaytas!" he tweeted. Trisha fired back in a tweet of her own, saying "@KEEMSTAR is a literal devil bringing up my drug addiction and s--t. Ur bullying causes actual death. This isn't cute. Get ur s--t together."

Regardless, we're glad to hear she's sober now, and we're hoping she won't go back down the addiction path any time soon.
