Inside Euphoria star Angus Cloud’s ‘battle with drug addiction including time in rehab with ex-manager’ before death

EUPHORIA star Angus Cloud allegedly struggled with drug addiction before he unexpectedly died at 25, his former manager has said.

Ex-talent manager Diomi Cordero said he helped get the actor back on his feet when they met in rehab, but drug-abusing friends threatened his client’s sobriety.

Cloud’s family revealed that he passed away in his family’s home in Oakland, California, according to a statement given to TMZ.

They remembered Cloud as an artist, brother, and son, and said he had been struggling with mental health issues since his father passed away just two weeks prior.

“We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter, and love for everyone,” the statement reads.

“We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”

His family did not reveal any details about the specific nature of Cloud’s death.

The tragedy came months after Cordero took to Twitter to fire off bombshell allegations toward his ex-client and former friend.

The talent agent alleged that they met while Cordero was working as a mental health technician at a rehab facility, Page Six reports.

He said that two weeks into the job, he met Cloud who had come in for treatment.

They immediately became close and decided to work together to pursue his dreams of being an actor.

According to Cordero, Cloud didn’t have health insurance or an active SAG-AFTRA membership when they met.

“This intervention allowed Angus to regain control of his personal and professional life,” the ex-talent agent said.

For the next few months, he said that Cloud appeared to be doing well, but ended up in the wrong crowd of friends who continued to use drugs.

“Their reckless behavior and lack of regard for Angus’ recovery served as a significant obstacle to his progress,” the manager said.

Cloud’s lifestyle allegedly spiraled, and he refused to stay in rehab despite pleas from coworkers and friends.

At one point, he allegedly appeared to stop breathing while he was using drugs, leading Cordero to perform CPR and administer Narcan.

Cordero claimed that Euphoria founder Sam Levinson even pleaded with the young star to fight for his life.

The alleged behavior came to a head when Cloud was invited to attend a Versace fashion show in Europe.

However, Cordero didn’t get the invite to the event, with Cloud allegedly saying that he’d prefer to be with his friends.

“Consequently, I resigned from my position that day,” he said on Twitter, noting that Cloud allegedly didn’t even make it to the show because airport staff refused to let him on the plane as he was “so high on drugs.”

Cloud did not speak publicly about any addiction struggles or sobriety, nor did he respond to Cordero’s claims.
