If the mom loved him so much why would she write about it? Even if he had struggles that should've been kept in the family
I just think publishing excerpts of his personal diaries is a violation of his privacy. Just like they feared photos of his body online as violation of his privacy 😐
Allison should be 100% able to talk about her struggles with her devastating loss (I agree it will help others) – but she just took it a bit too far with the excerpts.
As she should. This is turning into Travis Hunter all over again. We don't know these people. Stop babying these dudes.
If truth be told, he may of been an undercover addict, there are MANY people that have certain addictions, and many even living in the home don't have a clue……it's possible, and perhaps she sincerely does want people to be aware and more observant of family members or even close friends that you may suspect, but don't know…..I personally, am Inspector Gadget and Ms. Snoop, Snoop when I suspect, because if a person smokes a lot of weed, you will just think they are high all the time, so it covers up anything else…..I would also think that Ellen may know something, now should she of put it out there?? Probably, not to the world, but if it's true, it's just true….Sometimes people knowing that you too are not perfect and have Serious issues, does help someone…..Stephen isn't the only one……Just saying……
This 16 year old is misinformed.
Wow what a beautiful girl!!
This isn't her father so of course she's not gonna defend him.
The double standards are fascinating, the stigma of mental illness within black families needs to end. Writing this book could be helpful to so many. Leave these people alone
She and her mother are full of them selves. Did he raise her. They are all ungrateful. Our parents told us to be careful who we marry!! Stop looking for physical appearance. There is more to woman than looks! Young men and women. Young women stop looking for men who have money and looks. Look for someone who have character, patience, self control, respect and love you , no matter what. Looks can fade, you can lose money and job! Now what’s them!!
