Todd Bridges discussed his past legal troubles and battles with drug addiction. He spoke highly of his former lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, who also famously represented O.J. Simpson. Highlighting the intense financial burden that can result from being prosecuted, Bridges emphasized the importance of having a dedicated lawyer like Cochran, who would defend his clients vigorously. He also revealed the fear that drove him to carry a gun and his struggle to feel safe due to a combination of factors, including a history of police harassment and an abusive father. Bridges, who faced possible life imprisonment in his mid-20s, cited a lack of support in battling his drug addiction, which continued even after he managed to beat multiple charges.
