Ant and Keith acting as if they support an Artie recovery and want what is best for him is laughable

Artie has been in an obvious downward spiral since day one and they all just laughed at it and acted as if it was no big deal. Ant said he couldn’t care less that he was late. Didn’t care at all what he did in his off time.
I’m not saying they are complicit cause Artie knows what he’s doing, but quit with the “we wish him the best” bullshit. You could have intervened and tried to help before it got to this.

Or you know, you could take Ant at his word that he wishes Artie his best, and stop being so cynical all the time.

Except his prior words are dismissive despite the fact that Artie was clearly swirling the drain.

To be fair to Anthony, he wasn’t just going to come out and say “yeah, artie is a goddamned addict and he’s missing shows because he’s in a puddle of his own drool and urine somewhere and I should fire Keith for making this happen, but I don’t have the balls to do it, Artie will continue to walk all over me and so will Keith.” So they kind of kept their mouth shut, then issued a statement that’s reasonable. I don’t know how much they do or do not actually care, and if they are involved at all in getting him help, but they are not just abandoning him and ditching him so good for them. I mean, it’s really not Anthony’s responsibility. I certainly hope Keith is proud of himself for the great show he put together.

Did you see the billboards he bought? Pennies on the dollar, no less. Man's a wizard.

“Oh no, no, no. Billboards are actually very poor way to advertise anything.”

Oh, no no no no! Billboards are a very poor way to advertise?

Ant played up Artie's extended "bathroom breaks" with a wink wink "he's getting high!" giddiness.
1 oandauser 2017-12-17
Exactly. Now it’s all “we wish the best for him and hope for a speedy recovery”

Artie is a big boy. And it is fault only for his issues so fuck him. Once he starts to take ownership of his problems then he can start to get better. Until that happens he is a still a fuck up

Big indeed

What the fuck do you guys want Ant to do? A grown man "stand up" to another grown man about choosing to do drugs?

if you watch when attie and anthony were on jim and sam, artie just got out of the hospital and was a mess. This is exactley the situation Artie was hired in under the pretense that he was a drug fueled mess that will be in and out of the hospital frequently. Dont really understand the change of attitude of anthony. probably just figured the press for CM would be worse if arties bloated nose was on.

Artie is 50 fucking years old, and he's going to do what he's going to do. Artie's whole lifestyle of working very few hours per week while collecting large paychecks is a recipe for disaster for an addict like him. He needs like a parental figure to control his money and dole out an allowance like Brittney Spears.

You simply can’t tell a fat short tempered millionaire drug addict what to do. Artie’s been doing tho same song and dance for a while. This isn’t the first or second time this has happened is it?

A dedicated junkie with almost unlimited resources is a recipe for disaster. Him living this way for the past two decades is what is so impressive, Farley only managed a year or two when he was completely off the rails.

Artie is a grown up.
What exactly would you have Anthony do?
1 oandauser 2017-12-17
Something. Anything.

They're hoping the keels over on camera. Get that shitty podcast some numbahs.

Artie has been a mess way before he worked with ant.
1 oandauser 2017-12-17
Of course. My point is they brought him on and acted not concerned at all while he was in obvious downward spiral. Ant said he didn’t care if he was late. Didn’t care what he did in his off time. That’s fine i guess if he’s just your hired help. But don’t act now like you’re all behind him as if he’s “family.”
1 SibHashian13 2017-12-17
It is possible they didn't know how bad his addiction was and until they had to work with him
