I thought Keith said that Ant went to rehab on his own?

The other day on the show Garret asked how the counselors at rehab knew about Ant's situation and he responded by saying "Court documents were sent to them" and now today when talking to Joe DeVito (in studio... BIG get!!) he said "When I first was going I was mad.. when you get sent somewhere.. or just go somewhere.. where you thought you'd never have to go you aren't happy about it..." It sure sounds a lot like Ant didn't decide to go to rehab on his own... That can't be right though? I thought this was a personal decision he made on his own?

you see...Keith is a dirty scumbag liar.

In other words, the model NYPD cop.

Ron will vouch for that when he co-hosts TACS today.

I can think of multiple instances, actually.

He's been exonerated a Mexican and aging hipster said so

If you were in he middle of a "trial" would they just let you take off for a month for a vacation? No they would need proof of some sort of medical issue to postpone court appearances. It may have been part of a deal but even if he really did do it on his own, they would still need to get the courts approval to postpone (and most likely to even leave the state).

But then he wouldn't also have said he went to rehab mad because "anytime you're sent somewhere (and then catches himself).. Or go somewhere you didn't think you'd ever have to go...." Why would he start off by saying "sent somewhere" unless that's what he meant from his personal experience?

Most likely court ordered. Just saying no matter what the reason there would be some sort of paperwork going back and forth.

Good catch, KTG.

I'm shocked... SHOCKED!! I TELLS YOU!

There's no point in even trying to "out" him for this. It was extremely obvious it was for court reasons and if he even bothered to say otherwise I doubt he expected anyone to believe him. Yes, he went to rehab because it looked good to a judge. No point in looking into it further.

No point in looking into it further.

If any of these autists took that advice, we wouldn't have half of the hilarious shit that's come out over the past year.

True...

I'd hardly call the shit these autists come up with "hilarious." Mildly amusing at times, sure, but at some point it gets obsessive and really quite pathetic.

I'm not "outing" him. I'm just pointing out another instance where Keith lied.

But the lie was so obvious, I dont think they really expected anyone to believe it it was just what they had to say. I doubt they even thought anyone was taking that seriously. Keith is a liar and an idiot but this one was pretty much a joke how obvious it was.

Well then what would be the point in saying that? How does that help him in any way to have Keith lie about his reason for going to rehab when Ant comes back and admits that he didn't go on his own? That makes no sense. Keith genuinely wanted it to look like Ant was going to rehab on his own because if they admitted that this was tied to his court proceedings it would look more like Ant was guilty.

It was straight up impossible to believe that Ant's court case and his going to rehab were unrelated. To say otherwise wasnt even a lie, it was just silliness.

I'm pretty sure that's his point. Let's not pretend that if this were someone instead of Keith or Ant it wouldn't be pointed out repeatedly.

A lot of people who like Ant bought it hook, line and sinker. Maybe you didn't fall for it but the lie worked for the people that Keith wanted it to work for apparently.

I figured if they were really saying it it was in a sshh wink. If anyone really believed them that is just idiocy at its finest.

I had people arguing with me right after Keith said Ant was going on his own because I said that is bullshit and this was either court ordered or Ant's lawyer told him to go to rehab so they can demonstrate that Ant recognizes there is a problem but the problem was booze and once he is sober he won't make any further mistakes like this so there is no longer a need to pursue further criminal punishment. People who believed Keith said I have no proof of this and I know nothing about how the legal system works. One guy on the TACS sub saved comments of mine and posted them on that sub to prove what an idiot I was for predicting that Ant would get sent to rehab and his proof that I was wrong was that Ant checked himself into rehab (according to Keith) and he wouldn't have been able to do that if the state had a real case against him. People will believe what they want to believe. If Keith tells them Ant went to rehab on his own and that's what they want to believe that is what they'll believe. That is why Keith said that.

I only skimmed that but it sounds like you ran into some idiots. I thought it was 1000% obvious his rehab stint was attourney-encouraged to look good in his domestic violence defense. If you really found people that believed otherwise because they believed it when Keith said otherwise, I guess youre right, Im sorry.

I didn't find them. They found me. They mentioned my user name in their post so I got alerted when it was posted.

Yeah, I didnt mean anything bad by that. Maybe I should have said "encountered". You happen to have a link to it? Im not even saying I dont believe you, Im just curious how anyone could be that dumb.

No this was right after it was announced Ant was going to rehab... it mighta been the same day. The guy called me out for "believing Dani's bullshit lies" also but he was believing Keith's lie about Ant going to rehab on his own out of the blue.

I think what kgt is saying is that the court mandated he go, when Keith made it look like ant chose to go on his own to make himself look better for the court. They are two separate things.

I didnt think he was saying anything else, I just assumed they thought everyone knew that was the reason, and saying otherwise was just what you have to do because itd defeat the purpose if word got out that he knowingly admitted he went to look good to the judge. The whole thing is dishonest but its just something people do.

No point in looking into it further.

Keith and Ant both said this

Both said what? Keith released a statement where he specifically said that people who were saying that Ant got sent to rehab on a court order were wrong and that he decided to go on his own free will.

They both said that he went to rehab on his own. Pretty sure it was the last show before he went - the one with Jim and Ronnie B. Keith interrupts the conversation to point out that Ant was choosing to go to rehab and not being court ordered, and Ant confirms it. Doesn't really matter to me either way, I'm just pointing that out.

Oh I misunderstood what you were trying to say. Yes you are right... Ant also originally said he was going to rehab on his own.

I assumed you OandA duper sleuths would've posted any court ordered rehab papers, so my first thought was Anthony's lawyer recommended rehab, to gain favor with the judge. A judge sees a guy with a one-off, drunken incident, the offender went to rehab on his own free will, and the judge considers Anthony a reformed citizen. I know a few people who got sentenced to rehab, when they should've been locked in jail. Anthony's lawyer basically sentenced Ant with rehab, so the judge can dole out a lighter punishment.

I really can't see Ant going on his own. To him he didn't have a problem

His lawyer may have been blunt and told him he either goes to rehab or he finds another attorney. Or told him he better go because shit wasn't looking good for Anthony's case. So it could be he was ordered to go by his lawyer and the lawyer had to send them copies of the court records so they knew what they were dealing with to see if the rehab facility could help his court case.

That's not how it works. Your lawyer can't 'order" you to do shit, and the rehab doesnt give a flying fuck about "court records" unless the stay is court ordered, so they know to call the cops if the patient leaves.

You either go under court order, or you agree to go on council from your lawyer, and you don't need "court records" - whatever the fuck those are, considering he hasn't been tried yet.

His lawyer could very strongly suggest he go to rehab to bolster his case and if he refuses the lawyer could go to the judge and say Anthony isn't heeding his advice and ask to drop him as a client. He hasn't started his trial as you said so the lawyer can leave the case if he feels like Anthony isn't doing all he can to help him. So essentially the lawyer could order Anthony to go to rehab if he was so inclined.

I shouldn't have said court records so much as legal documentation showing what Anthony has been charged with. I am sure they would want to know that he has violent charges pending before they agreed to accept him. Looking out for the welfare of their other clients and all.

Nah, you're trying to hard. Just admit you were wrong.

I highly doubt it was court mandated. It's the type of thing that seriously helps your case though. I did the same thing when I got a DUI a few years back. I live in a state where the penalty for a DUI sucks, so I got a good lawyer, made a deal that involved a rehab clinic, and got a significantly reduced penalty. If you had asked me, I would have said I got "sent" there, but it was still my decision to involve it in the case.

The vast majority of people who get clean from rehab have extenuating circumstances; nobody is doing fine in life, while still using drugs, and thinks "gee I need to go to rehab." Whether it's legal issues, family issues, etc, there's always some "reason" you go to rehab.

It's called sarcasm you retard

You must not know anything about Joe DeVito if you think he's not a HUGE name in internet radio show video podcast type programs that are behind a paywall.

Who the fuck cares? This sub is getting gay.

Why do you think about this shit?

That's a pretty strong reaction so it seems like you care more than most people who responded to this post.

Logic isn't your strong suit.

You care. You asked who cares and the answer was you. Why would you have posted an angry comment if you didn't care? Just for irony's sake?

Your argument is that I care about what Keith says, all because I replied to your post? Good stuff.

Why the fuck does it matter? Rehabs for faggots.

But but he wasn't taking "the program" serious!!!

Stfu cuck

Ok.. I know cuck gets thrown around all over now but how the fuck does that make any sense in any context here? Calling someone out for lying is a cuck thing now too?

Also, not to be too much of a cuck, but you should have said "he wasn't taking the program seriously." You need an adverb there, big fella. Your sentence wasn't grammatically correct the way you wrote it.
