Robert F Kennedy Jr admits he used to 'snort cocaine off toilet seats'

RFK Jr. discussed his decades-long recovery from addiction and emphasized daily meetings to manage the disease, sparking calls for his resignation from health advocates.

  • On Feb. 12, 2026, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted on This Past Weekend with Theo Von he once snorted cocaine off toilet seats.
  • Kennedy said he continued `pirate` recovery meetings during COVID because formal meetings shut down and he refused to stop attending, saying `They shut those down during COVID`.
  • Kennedy has spent decades in recovery and said he links his sobriety to treatment after a 1983 arrest for heroin possession and marijuana possession at age 16.
  • Our Care demanded his resignation and Brad Woodhouse urged him to `Resign`, while medical experts and members of Kennedy's family questioned his competency to lead HHS.
  • Given Kennedy's prior vaccine skepticism, observers say his reshaping of CDC advisory panels and child vaccination schedules at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services magnifies fallout from his remarks.
