oh that makes it okay then

apparently this was a demon from his youth that never really went away........

Williams, whose mother was an immigrant from the Bahamas, had a childhood characterized by sexual molestation and bullying. By age 19, Williams had developed a substance use problem and was already experiencing the cycle of treatment and relapse. To maintain his dependency on illicit substances, the actor turned to credit card fraud and carjacking which ultimately left him with an arrest record. At age 25, a mugger took a razor blade to his chest and face and gave Williams his signature face scar. The next day William’s mother took out a second insurance policy on his life and told the actor he was not likely to live past the age of 30.

Williams’ struggles with addiction continued as his acting career began. During his time on “The Wire,” Williams got lost in the character of Omar Little, a notorious robber in the Baltimore drug scene. To cope with the intense character traits of Little, Williams began using Cocaine. According to the New York Times, he spent most of his earnings from the show on drugs which led to him being kicked out of his apartment. He began living out of hotels and also the floor of a drug house in Newark, NJ. Producers of “The Wire” have said they knew he was struggling and that they refrained from firing him in fear of how it could have worsened his substance use.
