Creed Frontman Scott Stapp’s Wife and Mother-in-Law Seek 60-Day Psychiatric Hold for Him

Creed vocalist Scott Stapp’s wife Jaclyn and his mother-in-law Nayat Nesheiwat have filed legal documents asking for the singer to be involuntarily committed to a mental facility for a period of  60 days, claiming he is in danger of hurting himself and others while he detoxes himself from drug abuse without help.

Stapp was recently committed to — and released from — a three-day psychiatric hold earlier this month, but both his wife and mother-in-law claim he needs to be under observation for longer.

According to TMZ, both women allege Stapp “refuses to get help and is deep into drugs, including amphetamines, steroids, weed, coke, PCP, Ketamine and others.” They also claim he has been leaving “bizarre” messages, claiming his son’s school is being threatened by ISIS and that he has been poisoned.

On November 26, the Creed frontman posted a 15-minute video on the band’s Facebook page claiming he was broke and living out of his truck. He blamed the IRS for his financial troubles and said “lies were being spread” about him.

Stapp posted two more videos after that, one in front of the Boca Raton Police Department in Florida on November 27, which have since been deleted.

On November 28, after deleting his previous public statements, Stapp wrote the following on Facebook, citing his faith in God:”I’m going to step back and let God control everything from here on. I should have continued to do that before I allowed my hurt, frustration, and emotions take control and post those videos. All I can say is that the truth will set you (me) free, and I’m holding on to Jeremiah 29:11 and Isaiah 44:8. This is a test of faith, and I will NEVER give up or lose my faith. No matter what. This will be my last statement until after justice is served. Love to you all my friends.”
