Former Beauty Queen Wife Seeks Divorce Against Creed’s Scott Stapp
Florida — The former beauty queen and wife of Creed frontman Scott Stapp filed for divorce recently and supported the petition with text messages she says she received from the singer while he was on an alleged drug binge last month.
Stapp, 41, has been married to the former Miss New York USA for eight years, according to the documents, filed in Palm Beach County.
They live in Boca Raton with their three children.
In the divorce petition, Jaclyn Stapp asked for full custody of the kids because, she claims, the singer of My Sacrifice and With Arms Wide Open is incapable of taking care of them.
She says he disappeared from their home in early October and hasn’t been telling her where he is. The paperwork shows she asserts Stapp has been doing so much amphetamines, crystal meth and steroids that he has become a paranoid shell who has threatened to kill himself and harm his family.
Among the text messages in the file:
▪ “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.”
▪ “God is also telling me something about Palm Springs and Nashville so there’s a connection somehow. He’s also telling me DEA for some reason.”
▪ “Wells Fargo working out my account problems. I’m out of gas. Haven’t eaten all day. I’m asking if they can spot me $1,000 so I don’t fall over from malnutrition.”
▪ “I wouldn’t doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous.”
What’s more, Jaclyn filed a Marchman Act petition against the rocker on Nov. 11. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. A judge could order Stapp into treatment for up to five days at first, then up to five months if necessary.
In a statement, Jason Brodie, Jaclyn’s attorney, wrote: “This is a very painful and personal matter for Jaclyn and her family. Her primary concern remains, as it always has been, the best interest of her children.”
Stapp did not answer repeated phone calls. As of Friday, his cellphone voicemail box was full and no attorney for him was listed in either filing.
