Well, he has had several drunken public exploits...passing out on stage in Chicago, arrested at LAX, a drunken fist fight in a baltimore hotel, admittedly addicted to Oxycontin & Xanax, etc...but he also likes the groupies:

"MARCH 3--A Florida woman who stars in the Kid Rock-Scott Stapp sex tape has filed a lawsuit against the California company that has recently tried to market the racy video of her 1999 tour bus encounter with the two rock stars. In a complaint filed yesterday in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, the woman, identified only as "Jane Doe," contends she has suffered emotional distress (and had her, um, privacy invaded) as a result of the attempted sale of the video by World Wide Red Light District. While a federal judge last month halted the video's distribution at the request of Rock (real name: Robert Ritchie), segments of the sex tape have appeared online. According to the complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, "Jane Doe" is "one of four women who participated in the sexual acts, after a romantic interlude" with Stapp. "For all purposes, she is the star of the females," wrote the woman's lawyer, Scott Salomon, who told TSG that his client is a student from Miami. Salomon declined to further identify his client. In addition to naming World Wide and company officer David Joseph in her complaint, the woman is also suing Stapp, former lead singer of Creed. Stapp, pictured above in a still from the sex tape, has recently alleged that the video was stolen from him, a claim that World Wide has denied." Rock also filed an injunction, called Stapp an "idiot" and blamed him for the tape's leak.
According to Rolling Stone, he is sober now.

"Today, the sober Stapp is friendly and humble. "I think everything worked out the way it was supposed to. Mark's happier. I'm sober. There are still phone calls to be made, people I need to say something to. But everyone from Creed who I've offended or hurt, I ask for their forgiveness."
After his wedding in February, Stapp will launch his first dry tour. (A sobriety coach will travel with him.)"
Sobriety coach? Sounds like "Babysitter" to me, but hopefully he can keep off the sauce...he does have an incredible voice.
