Creed Frontman Scott Stapp Reflects on Dignity Amid Divorce Announcement

Amidst the news of his wife, Jaclyn Stapp, filing for divorce after 18 years of marriage, Scott Stapp, the frontman of Creed, took to social media to share a poignant message about leaving an opponent "with their dignity."

Scott shared a sermon from T. D. Jakes on his Instagram Stories, where the pastor emphasized the importance of speaking without being offensive, listening without being defensive, and always ensuring that your opponent retains their dignity.

The couple's split has been years in the making, with Jaclyn previously filing for divorce in June 2022, only to withdraw the filing later on. However, Scott has now filed to end their marriage in May 2023.

Scott and Jaclyn, who share three children together, had been trying to make their marriage work despite realizing that it was over. The decision to part ways comes as Scott prepares for a reunion tour with Creed, marking their first tour in 12 years.

Throughout their marriage, Scott has been open about his struggles with bipolar disorder and substance abuse. He has spoken about experiencing a psychotic break and delusions, which led to dangerous behavior and threats that attracted the attention of the Secret Service.

As Scott and Jaclyn navigate this challenging time privately, fans are sending their support and well wishes to the couple and their family. Despite the difficulties they are facing, both Scott and Jaclyn are focused on moving forward with grace and dignity.
