In a 2014 interview with “Radar,” Spelling spoke about his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, stating “It’s been years and years, but until 27, that was my life – numbing myself to not want to feel my feelings and deal with any parts of myself that might be painful, challenging or uncomfortable. I found it easier to cover that up and not deal with it, and the more that I did that the more overwhelming life became.”
