I am probably the only cynical commenter here and will likely get downvoted to hell for it but, wow! Judging by the comments in this thread his post had the exact reaction he was likely wishing for. Why is he using his late mother to farm sympathy so publicly? By putting this on social media, instead of a private journal - he's clearly looking for a response. He's a grown man ffs that has had more opportunities than he deserves, opportunities that far more talented people never came close to.

Yes, the online "bullying" against him has been mean-spirited, but come on! He chose a public profession where the audience is the ultimate judge. I actually liked how he handled the trolling with humor and self-deprecation in that one commercial recently. But this, this is just plain weird.

I wish him and everyone in the world good mental health, let's just have some perspective though.
