That’s a good one. One of my friends had a psychotic break and wanted to commit suicide but insisted his wife kill herself,too. When she refused he knocked her unconscious and choked her. She’s lucky his brother was there to choke him out first.
They put him in a psych ward for a hold then released him drugged to the gills with meds. He eventually refused to take his meds and had a less severe episode. They held him for 24 hours then called her and said, “if you don’t come get him now we are dropping him off at the homeless shelter.”
Dang, very sad indeed. Clearly drug and alcohol abuse combined with CTE. Looks like if a major intervention doesn’t happen asap we’re unfortunately on a murder/suicide countdown.
The last thing BJ sees as he’s being hauled off to the nuthouse is this fake Mom peering through the curtains, drawing a finger across her throat while mouthing “I won.”
Chael has no real opinions. His video content is purely based on getting people to engage in the comments to improve his position in the algorithm. I don’t find his bullshit the least bit interesting because I know he’s a scumbag.
The more I see of some of the pioneers of the sport the more i fear the damage they suffered is worse than we thought. Especially when they start using drugs. And it’s not just BJ it seems like a lot of fighters get lost in drugs/alcohol and spiral big time.
