Soon after his father died, she went on to date his cousin’s boyfriend, breaking them up and bringing him to live in their house. I believe he moved out and went to live with his cousin.
I haven't watched the doc yet, how did she seem in it?Anonymous wrote:Watch this video. His mom seems like a different person here than in the docu.

Almost every professional football player has been playing since their early teens, though.
I grew up in a family with similar dynamics. It's likely his dad hit him from early on and over the years, starting head injuries at an earlier age than your average football player. (His mom was hospitalized after a beating from her husband)

The podcast was excellent!

The “claims” about his personal life? They corroborate the stories of abuse and closeted homosexuality with interviews with people who knew the family, one of whom was sleeping with him.
That is the man's claim but does he substantiate with evidence?
What precisely are you looking for? A blue dress?
Come on.
