Tom Sizemore: Another Drug Video Released

Back in the early weeks of January 2014, Tom Sizemore, star of the hit movie “Saving Private Ryan” and others, was captured using drugs in a video released to various celebrity gossip websites.  A second video of the trouble actor has now emerged and in it, he is allegedly seen smoking drugs.

The actor is wearing a blue t-shirt in the second video, as he lights a suspicious looking glass pipe.  Through grainy, the clip clearly shows Sizemore abusing drugs, which could likely be crystal methamphetamine or heroin, because these are the actor’s two favorite drugs of choice.  A source close to the actor revealed to Radar Online the actor was smoking “crystal methamphetamine in a booze and drug binge.”

The second video is supposed to have been recorded earlier this year, when the actor was filming his latest movie in Connecticut.  A friend witnessed Sizemore inhaling the drug in a hotel room in Manchester, Connecticut and told Radar Online, “he was partying hard.  He’s clearly fallen off the wagon.  I arrived at the hotel room around 10 p.m. He was still partying when I left around 4 a.m. the next morning.”

Recently, the actor released his memoir “By Some Miracle I Made it Out of There” in which he chronicled his substance abuse battle and his journey to recovery.  Sizemore was candid about his drug problems and described his moment of clarity.  He says it came after smoking an incredibly large amount of crystal methamphetamine.  He admitted to building up such a tolerance to the drug that it became ineffective.  Disappointed with himself, he looked in the mirror and finally saw the things that were terrifying him.

He called his friend Bob Forrest from “Celebrity Rehab,” and asked him and Dr. Drew Pinsky for help.  Sizemore appeared on the third season of the VH1 show and then the subsequent spin off “Sober House.” He admitted doing the show for money and felt his chemical dependence was related to the trappings of his successful Hollywood career.

At one point, the actor was so despondent and alone, he attempted suicide.  He took an overdose of anxiety medication and admitted he wanted to die and the suicide attempt was not just a ploy for attention or a cry for help.  Sizemore did not want to live anymore.

Sizemore has been on a downward spiral for a number of years and he has become clean and relapsed more times than one can count.  In 2007 and 2009, he was arrested on drug-related charges.  This most recent fall back into substance abuse is especially troubling, because the actor recently denied he had relapsed and said he was still clean.

An eyewitness to the video stated “I walked into a complete mess.  I could not believe it.  When I showed up there, there was a woman in the room.  She was a mess and telling everyone she needs money for drugs and needed needles.  Tom eventually kicked her out of the room.”  The most recent video is just under a minute long and shows Sizemore clutching the drug as he lights it up a number of times and inhales it on three separate occasions.

Tom Sizemore is just one of many Hollywood actors who has a troubled past and is plagued with addiction issues.  In the past the actor has been very boastful about his ability to fool the world and hide his substance abuse, but the camera does not lie.  Once a person falls into the pit of substance abuse it can be very difficult to get out, but Sizemore has done it once and he can do it again, if only he would see the truth of the situation before it is too late.
