The studio made Eddie sign a multimillion dollar contract stating he agreed to stay clean during the production of T3. After signing the deal, he and his buddies went out clubbing on a cocaine binge in celebration. At some point, Eddie did a massive line of coke in the bathroom and shortly went into a seizure after. He states that he has no memory of overdosing and came to surrounded by his friends and other patrons. An ambulance was called and the scene turned into a spectacle. The studio got word of the event and dropped Furlong from the movie.share
