It’s a damn shame to see a person lose their mind. I wish him the best.
He’s embroiled in a scandal that could possibly send him to jail and the stress and uncertainty must be getting to him. Before that he was caught cheating on his wife with some white woman so things may be quite tense on the homefront as well. Anywho, I wish him a full recovery.
Wow! Sorry to hear this. Hope he recovers.
