Jason Biggs Reveals Shocking Drug Addiction Story: Digging Through Trash for Cocaine

Jason Biggs, the beloved star of American Pie, has opened up about the darkest chapter of his life, revealing the harrowing depths of his past drug addiction. Now 47, Biggs shared a raw and unflinching account of his struggles in his 20s, a time when fame and fortune collided with substance abuse.

At the peak of his addiction, Biggs admitted to a moment of desperation that’s hard to fathom—digging through his own trash at 4 a.m. to retrieve cocaine he’d thrown away, all while his wife, Jenny Mollen, slept unaware. He described the spiral on a recent podcast, recalling how he told himself it was the 'last line,' only to find himself climbing into a trash bin outside his home to recover the drugs for one more hit. It was a moment of clarity amid the chaos, as he questioned his own actions with a stunned realization of how far he’d fallen.

Biggs didn’t shy away from the broader picture of his battle, which also included alcoholism. He confessed to hiding his drinking from his wife, even driving home after downing vodka straight from a liquor store run—post-therapy, no less. Married since 2008 and a father of two, Biggs has fought hard for sobriety, a journey he first publicly shared in 2018 on Instagram. Celebrating a year of being sober at that time, he offered a message of hope to others: don’t be ashamed to seek help.

His story is a stark reminder of the silent battles many face, even under the spotlight. From snorting dust off the floor to mastering the art of appearing 'just fine' in conversation, Biggs’ past paints a picture of addiction’s grip—and the strength it takes to break free.
