Oscar De La Hoya Admits To Suicidal Thoughts, Infidelity And Drug Dependency
Posted on Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:30 PM PDT
Oscar De La Hoya is holding back NOTHING in a candid new interview with Spanish-language network Univision. He's admitting to past drug and alcohol abuse ... and infidelity. Back in 2007, X17online exclusively obtained photos of De La Hoya dressed in women's underwear and stockings taken by a stripper, not his wife Millie Corretjer.
The 34-year-old boxer, who married Corretjer on Oct. 5, 2001, admits to being unfaithful. He adds, "We are obviously not talking a Tiger Woods here, but I was unfaithful."
De La Hoya, who retired from boxing back in 2009, says he has been sober for three months. The championship fighter reveals:
- "Rock bottom was recently. Within a couple of years, just thinking if my life was even worth it. I don't have the strength; I don't have the courage to take my own life. But I was thinking about it.''
As for which drugs he abused, the boxer also admits:
- "My drug of choice was cocaine and alcohol, hmm. Cocaine was recent, the last two years, last 2-1/2 years, and I depended more in the alcohol than the cocaine."
Oscar's mom died of breast cancer back in 1990. He says drugs helped him cope.
- ''It took me to a place where I felt safe. It took me to a place where I felt as if nobody can say anything to me. It took me to a place where I just can reach out and grab my mom.''

So what? At least he's honest about it, not in denial like your favourite trainwreck Blohan. It's hope for him, not for your skanky blowhore.
Poor Oscar. I kinda feel bad for his cross dressing self. X17, why do you have to kick someone's teeth while they are down. Sometimes people do dumb things let's face it you post stuff about Jennifer Aniston, LL and the K clan and how dumb is that...
I hope he gets better for his sake and his children
He is also a horrible fashionisto..
Man, how drunk & tweaked out on cocaine must he have been to pose for that photo? Lol..... ? Hope the guy can clean up. At least he has admitted & faced his problem. That's a start.
It took him 3 years to make up this story of drugs and alcohol. The real story is that he is a tranny lover and is into shoes. He should come out and say i'm a sex addict and love tranny sex.
