That's very sad... I hope it was accidental (a lot better than intentional).. Hopefully if anything good can be taken out of it, it becomes a turning point..
A lot of people think Ben's stuff was just an act.. He got booted from BB the week it came out he'd been a stand-up and plenty were outraged.. Had we been taken for a ride? But the proof of his genuine issues was that he's still been a virtual recluse in his daily life post-BB, if you watch his Tim videos for their proposed trip.
I hope this scare turns out to be a catalyst for him finding a new way, direction.. He's got a very true friend in Tim and if anyone can turn someone around then it's Tim.
Thanks Estelle for letting us know.
