Jake “The Snake” Roberts has been living with Diamond Dallas Page for almost a year in an attempt to transform his life. His recent story has been one of newly found sobriety and healthier living since moving into the “Accountability Crib,” with Page and a handful of others, most notably Scott and Cody Hall. However, DDP has posted a strange new video of Jake Roberts on Youtube, and the rumors that Roberts’ might be slipping have begun.
The title of this video clip is, “While the Cat Is Away…,” which signifies that on June 16th, Page was not in Atlanta at the “Accountability Crib,” and that the “mice” did play. The video begins with a voicemail message from a crib resident, Andrew, who says that Roberts has been acting “funny all day,” and that he doesn’t know whats going on but would like to straighten it out as fast as he could. Another voicemail from a man named Steve also says that Roberts is not acting like himself and that Page needs him to call back.
Once Page posted the video on Monday, the internet began to buzz with rumors about Roberts. Has he fallen off the wagon? Why would Page post this video if he has? What will the next chapter of this developing story have to say? Page has said openly that each man that enters the accountability crib will be recorded 24/7 for that exact reason, accountability, and if they mess up, it would go on record. We don’t know what this video means just yet, but with all the progress that Roberts has made, and after hearing his passionate pleas to be an entrant in the 2014 Royal Rumble, we hope for the best and continue to support the rehabilitation of a legend. You can watch the video for yourself below.
