Remembering the story, Villegas said, “there’s a story that Chavez said on a podcast that they did an intervention on him, and uh they pretty much kidnapped him took him to a drug rehab center and they locked him up with others.” He further discussed how Chavez Jr had lost it and took it out on the rest of the people there. “He flipped out and started disrespecting all the people in there .”
