A former Los Angeles Angels ballpark attendant testified on November 4 during the wrongful death trial that Eric Kay, the communications staffer who gave pitcher Tyler Skaggs a lethal pill, was widely known in the clubhouse as a drug addict.
Testimony from Former Clubhouse Attendant Kris Constanti
Kris Constanti recounted hearing Kay admit to being high on Norco while at the ballpark. He also described Kay hiring sex workers during spring training and reportedly snorting drugs in a team kitchen just before Angels owner Arte Moreno entered the area.
Disputes Over Kay's Drug Use Awareness
- The Angels’ attorney portrayed Constanti as a resentful ex-employee upset over losing his job after more than ten years with the team.
- Constanti admitted he never personally witnessed Kay taking drugs or formally reported suspicions to the organization.
- Other Angels employees have denied knowledge of Kay’s opioid addiction or involvement in supplying illicit pills to players, including Skaggs.
Allegations From Skaggs Family and Kay’s Ex-Wife
Lawyers representing the Skaggs family and Kay's ex-wife claim that team officials were aware of Kay’s illegal drug use and his connection to Skaggs’ drug use prior to the pitcher’s death in 2019 in a Texas hotel room.
