Chris Redd revealed he sold pills to some castmates during his five seasons on Saturday Night Live and felt unsupported while battling addiction, crediting his partner for aiding recovery.
- On Tuesday, January 6, Chris Redd posted a roughly six-minute Instagram video admitting he sold pills to some fellow Saturday Night Live cast members while on the NBC sketch series.
- Redd joined SNL in 2017 and spent five seasons before leaving in 2022, after sharing a 2018 Emmy for writing and pursuing TV and film roles.
- Redd described panic attacks and Adderall/stimulant effects that amplified fellow SNL castmates' comments, deepening his isolation as they would just talk rather than help him.
- Redd said the post was meant to lead with more `vulnerability and openness` and his upcoming stand-up will focus on love and growth, referencing SAMHSA and the National Helpline 1-800-662-HELP .
- Redd said Christina Evangeline was the one who helped him with therapy and addiction, and their bond became romantic after Kenan Thompson filed for divorce in June 2022, coinciding with Redd's September 2022 exit from SNL.
