Scott Stapp Loses Custody Of His Children

12/15/2014
. (Classic Rock) Creed singer Scott Stapp has been denied access to his children after a legal ruling. It's the latest in a chain of events that started when his wife filed for divorce last month, citing his heavy drug use and attempted suicide. Stapp responded with a video claiming he'd been the target of a US government conspiracy he was living in his truck - it was later removed.

He then launched a short-lived crowdfunding campaign for $480,000, saying it was to fund a solo album and a novel. Later his 16-year-old son claimed his father had been on a nine-week binge and was refusing to get the help he needed.

Now Florida Judge Martin Colin has granted Stapp's wife sole physical and legal custody of Jagger and siblings Milan, 7, and Daniel, 4. He's also ruled that the singer cannot return to the family home.

On Friday the singer posted a message, also later taken down, saying: "In light of the recent vicious attacks on my character as well as the vicious lies that are being spread about me, I'm left with no option but to address this circus.

"In no way, shape or form are any of these accusations true. I am 100% sober and 100% mentally sane and stable. Supporting documents validating this will be given to Judge Colin and serviced to the media next week." Read more here.
