Video After The Jump
Scott Stapp of the band Creed has released a 15-minute video via his Facebook detailing what he believes is a sinister plot against him.
Stapp says he's currently living in a Holiday Inn, is barely getting by, has gone two days without eating and been hospitalized recently.
The 41-year old singer has been accused by his estranged wife, Jaclyn Stapp (née Nesheiwat), of acting erratically.
According to the New Times Broward-Palm Beach, Jaclyn recently filed a Marchman Act petition to have Scott admitted against his will for a mental evaluation and drug abuse.
Jaclyn and her legal team allege that Scott has made several statements that suggest he's not in his right frame of mind. (Read them below)
"Florida is not safe. Biological weapons on the way. U have to leave with kids and meet me in Atlanta."
"I'm coming to get you Satan and children. No mercy. You know how this ends. God created you and now God is ending you."
"I wouldn't doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous."

The attempt to have Scott admitted was not successful and in his new video he says he's being slandered and ruined.
In 2006 rapper T.I. is credited with saving Scott's life after discovering him on the balcony of his hotel room. He had attempted suicide by jumping from his balcony 40 feet above. Scott suffered a fractured skull, broken hip and nose. He was unable to move. That's when Tip checked into his room and found him.
“I laid out there for two and a half hours and my guardian angel showed up — rapper T.I.,” Stapp said, via MTV. “He immediately took care of the situation and saved my life.”
The singer claims to have turned his life over to God and is now living a sober, Christian life.
"I'm under some kind of vicious attack," Scott says in the new video. "I still haven't figured out the reasons why, except that about eight weeks ago I began an audit of not only my record company, but my personal finances. During the course of that audit a lot of things were uncovered. A lot of money was stolen from me or royalties not paid. And that's when all hell began to break loose. I think you guys are smart enough to put two and two together. There are people that have taken advantage, stolen from me. And they're trying to discredit me, slander me."
Scott goes on to explain that he's been threatened by individuals that if he went public with this information, any and all of his past transgressions would be used to humiliate him.
Creed is one of the most successful American rock bands, having sold over 40 million records worldwide. Watch Scott's full video below as he talks about the IRS freezing his funds and the vicious attack against him by people afraid of being exposed for stealing his money and more.
