Channel 7 and more importantly over there Kerry Stokes should be getting raked over hot coals for this. Taking advantage of a drug addict who used to play footy for ratings knowing what money he was paid was going to go straight back into drugs. Maybe next they could sneak a camera into his cell for a close up of the drug extraction from his prison wallet.

I hope Stokes and Channel 7 are proud of themselves.

It was the most uninteresting interview ever, it was money for jam, he played it smart as next time it will be announced as a "tell all" interview.

When does the buck stop with the individual? This interview didn’t make Ben take drugs, Ben made Ben take drugs. Plenty of people earn money via legal means to feed addiction, could you imagine a society where prior to receiving earned money the recipient first needs to spell out what they intend to spend it on?

I’m no 7 or Basil fan, but they’re not responsible for BC’s actions

C’mon mate, Ben Cousins is the biggest victim in the world.
Just ask him, it’s never his fault.

I agree but they are responsible for exploiting a hardcore drug addict though just for a cheap ratings boost.

Typical. All I keep hearing is blame the lawyer, blame the ex missus, blame Ch7, blame Basil. What about accepting responsibility Ben. FFS, f***ed up druggie.

Till he stops blaming everyone else he'll never accept get over it.

The 100k he was paid was put into a trust fund that Cuzzy cannot access by himself.

He hasn’t blamed anyone. All he said was he had a parenting plan with the Ex and she cut off all communication!!! From what I have read she is just as bad!!!
