On April 14 2023, the former manager of Euphoria star Angus Cloud took to Twitter to accuse the actor of “verbal abuse, emotional distress & severe drug addiction”.
Diomi Cordero posted a lengthy thread which at the time of writing had been viewed 2.6 million times.
In the now-deleted thread, Cordero went into detail about why he ended the client-manager relationship with Cloud in February of last year.
“My decision to resign was prompted by Angus’ verbal abuse, emotional distress & severe drug addiction, which rendered it impossible for me to continue my professional relationship with him,” he began.
Cordero then went on to state that the pair met in a rehab clinic before beginning to work together professionally in 2021.
According to his former manager, Cloud was in a “state of disarray” before Cordero hired a new publicist and new acting agents for the HBO star per PageSix.
In the lengthy statement, Cordero also alleged that once Cloud had become sober, he was sucked back into the lifestyle by his peers who, according to the ex-manager, “served as a significant obstacle to his progress”.
According to Cordero, Cloud resumed substance usage just two days after completing treatment resulting in the manager having to give Cloud CPR after a spate of excess usage.
“Regrettably, as he regained consciousness, Angus vomited onto my face.”
“I have been pursuing the collection of my outstanding management commissions from Angus, totaling over $60,000.00. Despite repeated attempts to resolve this matter amicably, I have yet to receive any of the payments owed to me,” Cordero wrote.
“In sharing my story, I hope to not only find solace & healing but to also inspire others who may be struggling to find their voice in an industry where most are silenced. I wanted to be a testament to the power of speaking up and owning one’s truth, even in the face of adversity.”
