Leslie Jordan talks about having to give his bed in prison up for Robert Downey Jr.!
Sharing the"truncated version," Jordan explained that in 1997 he was sentenced to 120 days in prison “for several indiscretions [he’d] really rather not describe right now." He said that he hasn't"had a drink since," and that he"could’ve gone for, like, a year for everything I did. It was that serious."
He continued by saying that his lawyer told him to"ask for the Homo Tank" -- a"gay section," he called it -- when he got there"because you won’t survive on the main line." After they refused to put him in the section he requested, he was put in an area called the Softie Tank, where he expected to stay for the 120 days. However, after 12 days, the guards came and told him that he was out.
"'But we don’t have a bed for Robert Downey Jr. He’s downstairs. You have to give him your bed,'" Jordan recalled the guards telling him."'And you're going to give him your bed and he's going to take your bed.' We were in a little holding area. I didn’t really get to converse with him at all."Downey Jr., meanwhile, famously struggled with substance abuse in the 1990s, landing him in both rehab and jail on multiple occasions.
