“I went from a 13 year old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world with millions saying how much they loved me and how great I was,” he wrote on Instagram. “Everyone did everything for me so I never even learned the fundamentals of responsibility. By this point I was 18 with no skills in the real world, with millions of dollars and access to whatever I wanted. This is a very scary concept for anyone. By 20 I made every bad decision you could have thought and went from one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged and hated person in the world!”

He also admitted to doing “pretty heavy drugs” at age 19 as a consequence of struggling to manage the “ups and downs that come with being an entertainer.” He then said he is in a much better place now thanks to his marriage to Hailey Baldwin and his faith.

Dog’s Most Wanted, which will chronicle Dog and wife Beth Chapman hunting down the country’s most sought-after criminals in her last months of death, is set to premiere Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on WGN America.
