![In a January 2019 phone call Hunter recorded with Hallie she begged him to come and take drugs with her, telling him: 'I'm going to use regardless, but I would rather use with you.' Hunter videoed himself having another phone call with Hallie in which she asked him to get drugs for her. 'I want to help you from f***ing up, Hal. You're gonna lose your children,' Hunter said. 'Just help me get it, please,' she replied. She added that she planned to ask a friend for cocaine. 'Hallie, there is no way in hell you think that Lisa doesn't know that you've been in and out of rehab, all the struggles you're going through, and is going to get you cocaine,' he said. 'I don't know. I still think she would,' Hallie replied. 'You don't think she would call your sister who would call your mom who would call my dad? Absolutely 100% she would,' Hunter said.](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/06/07/12/85795271-0-image-a-79_1717759217778.jpg)
