Joey Janela Addresses Comments That He Smokes Drugs, Denies Being a Drugs Guy

During a recent interview with Fightful’s In the Weeds, Joey Janela addressed fan comments that he looks like he does drugs. Janela denied using drugs, but he did reveal that Megan Bayne once told him that he looks like a “crackhead.”

Joey Janela explained, “Let’s get some facts out there. No one’s gonna care. But people send me these ****ing Reddit threads whenever I get in drama… Every other person says I’m some kind of meth head, some kind of crackhead. That I smoke meth, that I smoke crack. I was never a drugs guy. Let’s get that out there right now. Megan (Bayne) said it best. She said, ‘Well, sometimes, Joey, you look like — actually, not sometimes, most of the time, in all your ****ing Instagram pictures, you look like a ****ing crackhead. This is why people call you a crackhead because you make these crackhead faces.'”

He added, “Let’s get it out there right now, I do not smoke crack. I’ve never smoked crack. I’m sure it’s a wonderful feeling the first couple times you hit that crack pipe…”

The former AEW wrestler is a fixture in the indie wrestling scene. He recently competed at last weekend’s F1⁠RST Wremix and GCW ​Vs. F1RST events. As previously reported, Janela recently had a falling out with PRODUCE Wrestling.
