Overview

  • On the June 4 episode of the Well with Arielle Lorre podcast, Biggs recounted snorting cocaine from both his own trash can and a stranger’s bin in one night in Los Angeles.
  • He traced his spiral back to early fame at 22 with easy access and financial means, adding that he hid his drug and alcohol use from wife Jenny Mollen.
  • Biggs detailed how attempts to discard leftover cocaine—by tossing it indoors and outdoors—were futile against an obsessive urge that drove him to retrieve and consume each line.
  • He credited moving to New York City in 2015 with offering the healthier environment he needed, leading to sustained sobriety since 2017.
  • Biggs has since marked recovery milestones publicly—celebrating a year sober on Instagram in 2018—and used his platform to encourage others struggling with addiction.
