According to Long, they made reference to filming him while high on hard drugs and selling the footage to TMZ or another website dedicated to celebrity gossip.

He supported Barack Obama during the 2012 U.S. presidential election and was an outspoken critic of the Republican nominee Mitt Romney, describing him as a "modern-day Gordon Gekko".
