I really hope y’all have serious mental health resources in place for him so he doesn’t come back from the high of this experience to seeing he’s been unfairly exposed on top of general reality TV backlash. If y’all have a history of suicide from people being on your show. I’d really hope you all get a handle on this expeditiously.
