    Had to edit out A LOT of violent details. Sean gets pretty dark, incredible interview.
    "This Past Weekend #476", around 90 minutes.

    As a South African, I'm not proud of Dricus for bringing that shit up. For the most part he's a good embassador for our country, but he of all people should know what fatherlessness does to our country. Was ashamed of him for that. I'm also a big Strickland fan, his honesty and transparency is awesome

    When something makes you question the existence of God, it’s truly tragic. I hope, he finds his way back to the Light of Jesus🙏

    He didnt care that the water was splashing on him, he was struggling to get the water in his mouth, and he reach for the liquor but changed his mind last second. He was fucking hurting bad and didnt even know what to do with his body

    Lotta people who defended Dricus for the racially ignorant comments he made toward Izzy are straight up HATING on him now, calling him out for being a garbage person.
    Uhhh, yeah….
    That’s what a lot of us were saying 6 months ago when he made those vile comments about being a “real” African champ. I guess all those free speech warriors and the “stop being so sensitive” crowd decided they didn’t like Dricus’s bullshit anymore when he proceeded to make jokes about a survivor of childhood abuse.

    I had a really messed up childhood. Every time a conversation heads in that direction I'm quick to change the subject and my train of thought to avoid that. Push it back down and put the lid on it. I guarantee you he hates losing control and letting it out even a little bit. I get it.

    People don’t know the scars they hide till they bring them to the light , mental or physical. This is why you should never judge , you don’t know that person and what their life experience, we are all broken in one way or another , God Bless him for letting it out ❤️‍🩹🙏

    I would of told people to cut the camera's immediately. I know when I see the effects of real trauma. That attitude is a coping mechanism to push away or try and forget what happened.

    Crazy that dude knows why he has all these issues but can't process any of his issues. Really hope he gets into therapy
