'I gave her some of my dad’s methadone pills'
During his teenage years, Avalon revealed that he sold drugs, including highly addictive methadone pills, as a way to make ends meet. "I think I gave her [Jolie] some of my dad’s methadone pills," he said, adding, "My dad was on liquid methadone. He had some extra pills and $5 was a lot of money back then. I probably sold them for $5 or $10 dollars. She could have given them to her boyfriend. Like who knows?"
Jolie has been open about her past struggles with drug use during her younger years. In various interviews, she has spoken about experimenting with drugs, particularly during her late teens and early 20s.

"I went through heavy darker times and I survived them," the Oscar winner said in a 2011 interview, per E News. She added, "I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things." When asked for more detail, she said, "Nothing I want to go into a lot of detail about, but I think people can imagine that I did the most dangerous and I did the worst—and for many reasons I shouldn't be here."
