This is a photo of Rob Kardashian in 2011 during his DWTS stint when he looked his happiest and healthiest. At this point, I think most of us can agree that Rob Kardashian is struggling with some serious problems. He’s dealing with Kim’s twisted version of tough love (and she delights in dragging him for tv ratings). He’s clearly depressed and has probably been that way for years. He’s also very conscious of his weight while surrounded by one of the most superficial families in history.
Every so often, rumors of Rob’s substance abuse hit the tabloids. These are mostly limited to details about painkillers and Sizzurp. This week’s issue of In Touch takes a dramatic turn and alleges something scary. The tabloid says Rob’s hooked on crystal meth. EH:
Reality star Rob Kardashian has been struggling for the past two years, but there may be more to the story than just his weight issues.
“Rob is hooked on crystal meth. He’s a drug addict,” a friend tells In Touch.
“His problems started because of his social anxiety,” an insider close to the family reveals. “He began doing drugs to help cope with everything. But now his issues are all magnified.”
To make matters worse, Rob, 28, is refusing to admit hat he needs help. “He’s in pain,” adds the friend. “He’s a total mess.”

I don’t buy this story at all. Perhaps Rob is doing drugs, but meth probably isn’t in the mix. We’ve all seen those dramatic transformations of meth addicts. Rob doesn’t fit that profile. Even though we rarely see Rob, we’ve seen him enough to sense that this story seems really off base. CB and I were talking about this, and she pointed out that it’s probably not a planted story by Kris Jenner. Remember how Kris grew “outraged” when In Touch photoshopped Bruce Jenner in makeup? This story seems like another cheap shot by In Touch. Rob has a lot of problems, but I doubt crystal meth is one of them.
