These so called “ influencers “ have delusions of grandeur 🙄they really think they are important in this world.
These people lose touch with reality and real life. When they're held accountable, nothing is glamorous anymore, and no one is recognizable.
Anyone faking a mental health crisis getting stuck in a real mental health facility will be in for a real suprise.
Bro threw it all away.
Can't wait for the tour of his cell and the Big House.
He is just a common narcissist! Geez 🙄
Fool thought he was elite and could get away with what he did but he's not wealthy enough 😂
He got off easy. It could have gone the opposite direction, 20 years
If you have to say, "And that's not being egotistical ..." then it's being egotistical.
