Todd Bridges discussed his and the late Gary Coleman's financial issues and personal lives. Bridges maintained that he did not have financial problems until legal trouble started, and his earnings were secure, unlike Coleman's. Coleman had sued his adoptive parents and business advisor for misappropriating his earnings, totaling $18 million. The suit resulted in a $1.28 million win for the "Diff’rent Strokes" actor. Bridges also discussed his struggles with law enforcement and drug use, stating that racial profiling led him to mental and emotional breakdowns. His experimentation with drugs didn't start until he was 21, contrary to the public perception.
