And I moved in, I, I ended up moving in with my, like, I had a young, a younger day-to-day manager, tour manager at the time, who was also my best friend.

And we spent every day together, work or not.

Um, and he moved in with me because I bought a place here in, um, I bought a place in, in West Hollywood when I was 17.

And, uh,

I, that's when things started to slip for me.

And I think it's cause I rebelled a little bit against my family and my parents as, which is, I think a natural thing to do at that age.

It's not an uncommon thing for a teenager to want their own space and then to have to go and kind of learn their own, learn your own lessons in a way.

Sure.

Um,

but that was also around the time that I started to rebel from 17, 18 was around the time I started to rebel from what I'd built.

Um, and I started partying and kind of fell into the trappings of kind of having access to like whatever I wanted at an age that was far too young to,

to be allowed that, I suppose.

Like you can get in anywhere and you can get anything and people will just say yes kind of thing.

It was like that amount of autonomies

unhealthy i think at that age yeah because power is also has effects on the brain as well in that way in the same way that fame does it's sort of coupled yes um and so too much of that too early is also easy to abuse um so i felt like i was at the mercy of that a little bit yes um was there an emancipation attempt

yeah yeah early which i didn't no no this was like oh this was before at the start almost oh really like i yeah when i was still um when i was really early on like a very a very early um management company pre pre-scooter and everything that that were trying to i think tried to claim

claim my parents were unfit parents and and and to legally emancipate me so i could work because there were limits on the amount of hours i could or days i could work and my schooling and um i think under 18 you're considered a minor in there i'm not sure exactly what the entertainment industry laws are but

They were trying to finesse those, you know.

Yeah, really, yeah, yeah.

More money, more whatever.
