Nicholas Brendon has opened up about the reasons behind his recent arrest when he reportedly trashed a hotel room after drinking.
As previously reported, just last month, Brendon faced charges stemming from trashing a hotel room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and now he was arrested again after trashing a hotel in Tallahassee. Police revealed that he caused around $1,000 in damages.
According to TMZ, Brendon spoke in a video and revealed that he has suffered from depression that stemmed from being sexually abused in childhood. He talked about taking prescription medication and drinking in order to deal with his depression.
The Buffy The Vampire Slayer star also reportedly told the Tallahassee Democrat that he had taken around nine sleeping pills and that he had “stopped taking my meds a while ago, which was a mistake. It culminated yesterday with my taking some sleeping pills and then going into a blackout.”
E! News reported that in his interview, Brendon spoke about the abuse saying, “This isn’t an excuse or anything, but when I was a kid I was molested for two years by a teacher, and that’s never been talked about anywhere, and from that moment, my life changed immediately.”
Brendon did not want to talk about the abuse since he didn’t want it to be a “crutch,” but he felt it had a bigger impact on him than he didn’t see. “I think it’s time for me to start dealing with that- dealing with the symptom of it.”
The actor is due in court March 30.
