“My world became one of crazy opportunity, elaborate nights out and — there’s no other way of putting it — cool free s–t. I enjoyed it. Jade enjoyed it,” he writes, noting that it’s almost impossible not to be changed by it all. “For a while, it was lots of fun,” Felton writes. “But only for a while. The gleam soon began to tarnish. I never knew I wanted this kind of life. And as time passed, an uncomfortable truth quietly presented itself to me: I didn’t want it … I was in a lucky and privileged position. But there was something inauthentic about the life I was leading.
After Felton skipped out on the Malibu rehab, he found a second one that was smaller and not so fancy. But he got kicked out after being found in a girl’s room. “On a couple of occasions, the therapists caught me canoodling with [a young woman] round the side of the building when we were pretending to put the bins out. One evening I committed the cardinal sin of sneaking into the girls’ house and into her room,” Felton writes. “I honestly didn’t have anything particularly nefarious in mind. She had been quiet at dinner and I wanted to make sure she was okay.”Felton collapsed while taking part in a celebrity golf tournament in 2021.
