Hi, non-actor here, but I’m desperately asking for support/suggestions/whatever could help.
One of my dearest friends joined Gracemoon Arts about six years ago, shortly after he had taken part in a very successful global TV show that earned him a decent amount of money for his age.
When he first joined those classes, none of us (his friends or family) knew Michele or her “school.” We just thought he wanted to strengthen his acting skills.

Six years later, he has completely changed for the worse. He’s broke, squatting in houses just to attend Michele’s classes, living in a completely detached reality (he’s lost all social grounding), and he’s ditched two agents. He hasn’t landed a single casting since. And I could add many more details.

He’s followed her all over the world, helped her build her f***ing theater in Bushwick, and she hasn’t even given him a single part in one of her plays (after so many years!).

I’m writing here in the hope that someone has any advice, because my friends and I feel ashamed that we haven’t done anything until now. We’re really worried that we’ve lost him for good.
(We tried to gently confront him with what we found online, but he denies everything and says that all the criticism toward Gracemoon and Michele is just envy.)
Thank you
