Angus Cloud’s Ex-Manager Highlights His Addictions in Tweets
After Angus Cloud passed away, months-old tweets from his ex-manager, Diomi Cordero, have resurfaced. In the Twitter thread shared in April, the ex-manager states that they first met while working as a “mental health technician” at a rehab. Later, he left his job to represent the actor.
However, he resigned in February 2022 due to the constant abuse of the Euphoria star towards him. He also claimed that the actor had been struggling with substance abuse, and it only got worse with time. Cordero mentioned a January 2022 incident when he received a call from Cloud’s roommate regarding an overdose.
The ex-manager gave him Narcan CPR and did mouth-to-mouth. “Regrettably, as he regained consciousness, Angus vomited onto my face,” he mentioned in his tweet. He also claimed to have suffered from PTSD symptoms from assisting the North Hollywood actor for a movie shoot, where he managed to stay sober for a month.
However, he mentioned that Cloud’s behavior toward him slowly became “extremely abusive,” leading him to resign. In the Twitter thread, he also mentioned that after him, Angus Cloud was represented by Sam Lufti, who has been associated with celebrities struggling with mental stress and addictions. “So please keep Angus in your thoughts & prayers,” he said while mentioning his association with the Lufti.
