Celebrities, a breed of mostly self-obsessed humans who live to entertain, speak their truth, and make that money! Along the way they may invite a little scandal and a touch of addiction, let’s face it what’s a celebrity without some kind of addiction? This particular bunch of famous folk decided to opt out of the addiction to exercise and eating veg and instead headed directly to a sex addiction. Some lives and marriages were ruined, some went to a super spenny rehab but for some stars it was simply a case of saying, 'I’m good with all the sexy times'. Those guys just kept it moving.
A$AP Rocky
Rihanna’s beau is now very happily following a monogamous lifestyle but prior to winning the girlfriend lottery things were a little different. A$AP has been open about his past penchant for the bedroom, the rapper previously admitted, 'I’ve been a sex addict for some time, yeah. These are things that people stay away from and they don’t like to admit. I can’t be embarrassed about it. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don’t do nothing that I’m not proud of speaking of.' Mr. Rocky even had a customed made $100k to accommodate all his orgies. He explained further, 'I need it because I have a lot of orgies at my house with some very close female companions.'
James Franco
James has long struggled with forms of addiction, and the actor was candid about swapping one addictive behaviour for another. While an alcohol addiction blighted his formative years after conquering his demons and becoming sober he found what ended up becoming another destructive behaviour. His obsession with sex became more about validation from women. Sex he said, 'It’s such a powerful drug,' adding 'I got hooked on it for 20 more years. The insidious part of that is that I stayed sober from alcohol all that time. And I went to meetings all that time. I even tried to sponsor other people. So in my head, it was like, "Oh, I’m sober. I’m living a spiritual life." Where on the side, I'm acting out now in all these other ways, and I couldn't see it.'
Jada Pinkett Smith
The actress and wife of Chris Rock slapper, Will Smith has been very open on her problems with multiple addictions throughout her life. She revealed, 'When I was younger, I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind… everything could be fixed by sex.' Divulging her obsession further she said, 'I am a binger, and I always have to watch myself. It’s not what you’re doing but how you’re with it. Why you’re doing it. It’s the behaviour that’s attached to it because if you want to have a lot of sex, that’s great, but why are you having all that sex? That’s what you’ve got to look at,' she explained. Jada’s addiction wasn’t just limited to having sex with another partner and she eventually admitted to becoming addicted to using sex toys, 'I’ve had a lot of experience with sex toys - lots.' She confessed, adding, 'And then one day, I was like, 'Enough. You’re having five orgasms a day."'
Justin Bieber
For Justin Bieber there was only one way out of his sex addiction and that was God and a celibate life. Elaborating on his addiction to sex he said, 'Sometimes people have sex because they don’t feel good enough. Because they lack self-worth. Women do that, and guys do that.' Having sex, he said eventually became a vice, 'I found myself doing things that I was so ashamed of, being super-promiscuous and stuff, and I think I used Xanax because I was so ashamed.' His drug addiction spiralled at the same time as his sex addiction until he realised that he wanted to make a lasting change, 'I wanted to rededicate myself to God in that way because I really felt it was better for the condition of my soul. And I believe that God blessed me with Hailey as a result. There are perks. You get rewarded for good behaviour.'
Colin Farrell
The Colin Farrell of today is a picture of health and rehabilitation but with good reason, he’s spent some time in rehab. A plethora of famous girlfriends, rumoured flings with Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie and a leaked sex tape, all go some way to understanding why Colin has been so open about his struggles with sex addiction. 'Basically I’d been fairly drunk or high since I was 14' he has also said that prior to his stint in rehab for his sex addiction he was referred to as the “Lusty Leprechaun” Colin was so successfully rehabilitated that when he dipped his toe back into the world of sex he was completely terrified, he said that having sex sober was totally unnerving as he 'was just used to drunkenness and dark rooms and clubs and toilets and wherever.'
Robbie Williams
Robbie has been very outspoken about the idea that sex addiction is not seen by many as a 'real' addiction telling Attitude magazine, 'Sex addiction does exist — it does. It totally does.' While he has been very vocal about his wild sex life with famous women and strangers, he is now a happily married father and husband. In fact so addicted to sex was Robbie that even on the night he met his now wife Ayda Field he had just had sex with his drug dealer, 'My drug dealer had just left, I'd slept with her and she'd left me a bag of drugs.' He also revealed that while filming a music video he was so overcome with lust for a porn star featured in his video he said, 'The t*tty monster gets on my shoulder. I need to take her home and f*** her.' But he now admits, 'My thing in the 90s was sex with strangers..."I didn't know whether I'd be able to give that up. The thing with sex with other people is very much like cocaine. I'm not looking for cocaine any more and therefore I don't find it."'
