Matt making up his drug using past?

copied and pasted from an article from Radar Online:

Echoing many of Matt?s exes, Chris also accuses him of constantly lying. He even invented his past as a drug addict, he says, perhaps in an effort to connect with recovering addict Amber, 26, who cleaned up after a prison stint three years ago.

Chris even believes Matt used his own son?s struggles with addiction to appear more sympathetic on his hit reality series.

?He asked me to tell him all about my problems with drugs. When I saw him on MTV, he was talking about all of my drug problems that I told him about, and made believe they were his problems,? the bitter son alleges. ?The truth of the matter is, he?s an evil, evil man, and when he did evil things, he was stone cold sober.?

I can believe it. Matt wants to blame substance abuse for being a deadbeat father... in the past. (As if he isn't still one.) The idea that he would claim a drug problem, not just for sympathy but also to connect with Amber, doesn't sound too far-fetched.

I was so curious to learn more about the supposed child support case Matt was discussing with his friend (when also claimg he's "sober" now... despite drinking a beer, "ha ha"). So is it not his child or what? He was a little too gleeful about being off the hook, at least the way he tells it.

How about the other children you fathered and don't support, Matt? You can blame being "young" and drug-using, but what are you doing now to take care of all these children? And how deep do your lies run to hook Amber??

I can't get over Gary's EPIC BURN when Matt said he 'adored' Leah and Gary asked ' What about your owj kids? Do you love them as well??'?

Brilliant remark and so right on the money. :)

Dang, I missed that! Major kudos to Gary for firing off that one!

It happened a while back at the reunion...:)

Oh okay. I missed part of that reunion show. I should have recorded it because they don't get rerun as often as the regular episodes. How did Matt react?

He said 'yes' but you could tell he was a bit stunned to reply at first and pissed off in general.
