Hollywood could use a few more guys like Tom Arnold. Tom helped to stage an intervention for billionaire-oil-heir, Jason Davis. (aka Gummi Bear) Tom and Jason’s brother, Alexander, went to his apartment to confront him about his drug use, which was spiraling out of control again. Jason was sentenced to a 36 month drug rehab program back in 2008, after an arrest for heroin possession.
Jason’s mom, Nancy Davis shared this:
“My son Alexander and Tom Arnold went to help my son Jason, who is an addict, to help save his life.”
For those who aren’t familiar with the socialite Davis brothers – they are heirs to a billionaire oil fortune. Jason’s brother Brandon (aka Greasy Bear) launched himself into the tabloids back when he was often seen with Paris Hilton and famously called Lindsay Lohan “firecrotch”. Jason was always shown being turned away at nightclubs, but I haven’t seen much mention of him in a while.
Tom himself is a recovering addict who has been clean for 20 years. He met Jason back in the 90s when appeared on an episode of ‘Roseanne’.
I commend him for reaching out like this. Hollywood would be a much healthier place if celebrities surrounded themselves with people who are willing to step up and help like Tom.

Gummi Bear has already left rehab after one day. That didn’t last.
Wait. Tom Arnold is still alive?
Do interventions work more times than not?
oh my.
Nice try, but let go of your ego. Unless an addict wants help others help isn’t helpful. Get it, got it, good. Surrender and accept that you have only the power to change yourself, not other people. Hard lesson, but reality.
actually Brandon Davis called her “firecrotch” and hung out with Lindsay Lohan….Jason is his older brother
