DJ Fat Tony: The Truth About Addiction, Abuse & A-List Stars

This week, Olivia is joined by DJ Fat Tony for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had in the House.

Known as one of the world's most iconic DJs, Tony has played for major A-list stars including Prince, Madonna and the Beckhams but behind the celebrity stories lies an extraordinary journey of trauma, addiction, survival and recovery.

Tony opens up about being groomed and abused as a child, how those experiences shaped his adult life, the reality of living with addiction, and the harrowing moment he pulled out his own teeth at the height of his drug use. He also shares why writing his memoir forced him to confront the past he'd spent years trying to bury, and the therapy that ultimately changed his life.

The pair discuss ADHD, imposter syndrome, recovery, resilience, clickbait culture, why Tony publicly called out a TV show, and what he'd say to anyone currently battling addiction or supporting someone they love through it.

It's a conversation full of heartbreaking honesty, hope and humour, with incredible stories from a life lived at the centre of music and celebrity culture.
