Just days before his arrest on Dec. 12 for missing the court date, 50-year-old Artie had shocked fans by posting this shocking photo on social media. Cruel comments by several followers were balanced by concerned fans begging the comic to continue treatment for his addictions.

Artie made headlines in 2010 with a suicide attempt — one year after leaving his regular stint on Howard's morning radio show. He's most recently made headlines blasting his old boss. That's included mocking Howard for hanging out with stars like Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Aniston. "He's being what he's made fun," Artie's complained. "He's being phony!"
