Author Topic: Ricco Rodriguez in "Celebrity Rehab" (Read 5644 times)

I just happened to catch this trainwreck of a show on VH1. One of the castmembers said a "new guy" was coming. It turned out to be former MMA star Ricco Rodriquez. Apparently, he has a pretty serious coke problem. He told a story about getting in a car crash. His girlfriend was in the passenger seat. Ricco thought she was dead. He already had a DWI. So, he pulled her over to the driver's side and told the cops that she was driving.

I can't believe he told that story like it was funny. That strait laced girl that works there is repulsed by him. I am glad he is on the show though, seems like a good antagonist. I can only take so much of Jeff threatening to leave, crying, repeat.

He beat Couture for it and lost to Sylvia to lose it.

I saw him fight a few years ago at the rage in the cage........I bet he weighed 300lbs at the time and he just looked awful.

Ricco was molested as a child. If you've ever watched Intervention, you'd know that the majority of drug addicts have histories of sexual abuse. The constant self-loathing and pain from sexual abuse makes it extremely difficult for recovery prospects. One look at Ricco tells me he's a ticking time bomb. Tons of rage inside that man.

Dr.Drew asked him that and asked if he knew where the guy was that molested him , he replied "It's good I don't know that ", I bet the guy that did it is real happy Ricco doesn't know , but I think if "I" was Ricco ( that big and all ) I'd have to find the guy , he obviously still carries the rage from it .

I didn't know he beat Couture $:-\$

very convincing win, randy basically screamed "i give up" while ricco dropped elbows on his face, i think one poked his eye

so convincing they fed randy to chuck thinking they could give chuck a good "name" win

It has that car crash appeal. It's horrible but it's hard not to look at it.

Jeff Conaway does a great job of showing that you can be an old broken down, drug addicted mess, but, if you have some fame and money, you can still get a reasonably hot chick.

There was one scene that was an absolute classic. Conaway's girlfriend was bitching about how he was controlling her life. So, he say's, "Then give me back the checkbook and credit cards, and move out."

His girlfriend reacts with a look on her face that said, "Well, maybe you're not controlling my life THAT MUCH." Apparently, Jeff's CONTROL wasn't as bad as having to wait tables for a living.
