Janelle asked his brothers to go check in on him. She admits that he has done this before, when he would drink too much and pass out. Then, he would call in the morning and everything would be fine.
She went on to share that his drinking started during the pandemic and just continued to get worse.
During the show, she said, “He had anxiety and depression and then he started drinking as a way to sort of soothe that. And then just became the animal he couldn’t get a hold of. We did everything we could. And I know that.”
