Freddy Brazier Says He Was Sectioned as He Previews Podcast on Addiction and Family Strife

The 20-year-old uses a podcast teaser to set out his account of long-running drug use with mental-health treatment.

Overview

  • In new clips, Brazier says he has been to rehab, was sectioned, suffered manic episodes and spent time in cells.
  • He alleges his grandmother Jackiey Budden introduced him to cannabis and got him hooked around age 12.
  • The podcast, A Load Of Old Cobblers, is slated to launch on 1 September and has been promoted on Instagram with unseen photos of Jade Goody and her sons.
  • He explains he prioritized time with his grandmother out of fear for her wellbeing, which he says pushed him away from his father Jeff.
  • Reports note Jeff previously pursued legal steps over contact with Jackiey, while recent posts and appearances suggest father and son have since reconciled.
