None of us knew how to react or easy methods to really feel. I ought to have never posted the video. I ought to have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we have been going through.
There’s a lot of things I ought to have done differently but I didn’t. And for that, from the underside of my heart, I am sorry.
I need to apologize to the web. I need to apologize to anybody who has seen the video. I need to apologize to anybody who has been affected or touched by mental sickness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologize to the sufferer and his family.
For my fans who’re defending my actions, please do not. I shouldn’t be defended. My objective with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. On the planet live on, I share nearly everything I do. The intent is rarely to be heartless, merciless, or malicious.
Like I stated I made a huge mistake. I don’t anticipate to be forgiven, I’m simply right here to apologize.
I’m ashamed of myself. I’m upset with myself. And I promise to be higher. I will likely be higher. Thank you.”
