Celebrities from Jax Taylor and Demi Lovato have had high highs and low lows in the public eye, even opening up about their struggles with cocaine.
“I have substance issues primarily with cocaine,” Taylor revealed in March 2025 during an episode of the “Hot Mic” podcast, noting, “It’s hard to say out loud.”

I was scared because my mom always told me your heart could just burst if you do it. But I did it anyways and I loved it,” Lovato confessed in 2017’s Simply Complicated documentary.
