CLEVELAND, OHIO: Yes, Fousey is OK but he has been struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression. He said that the hostility and criticism of his content caused him great stress.
Fousey once called the police for his safety and was taken into custody before being admitted to a hospital for a thorough mental health evaluation.
In the past, Jake Paul has helped Fousey by saving his life. Paul made efforts to "uplift top streamer" Fousey.
Jake Paul tried to cheer up Fousey
Paul discussed his thoughts on the circumstances surrounding Fousey in the most recent episode of his show.
For the unversed, Fousey was arrested by police on August 23, after he had a manic episode and thought his life was in danger.
Eventually, he yelled at the police, saying, "You guys are dumb as f**k, man! You guys are literally dumb as f**k! Hey, record this."
He further said, "Security! Come in here, now! Yo, for my protection! Come in here! He can't come in? Y'all are f****d! I'm suing all y'all! My life is in danger and you arrest a Palestinian Muslim who's viral?"
Paul expressed his intentions to avoid discussing the matter in public. He later acknowledged speaking with Fousey, but said that his efforts had been in vain.
He said on the 'BS w/ Jake Paul' podcast, "I just think everyone needs to, like, continue to uplift him."
He added, "And, I think he ran... before he walked. It's kind of, like, a 180 degree. Like - life switch where, like, one moment you're in rehab and the next moment, you're like, the top streamer in the world."
Jake Paul discussed Fousey's recent shenanigans
When one of the hosts requested Paul to comment on Fousey, he said, "I don't really want to talk about it, to be honest. Like... it's just not my stuff to talk about publicly."
He added, "And, I just hope; I know he's in another facility right now. And, I've been trying to contact him, to no avail."
Paul went on to advise others to "uplift" Fousey, and he promised to get in touch with the streamer "at some point."
Paul said, "I'm going to speak to him, you know, at some point here, when the time is right. When he's available to speak to. And hopefully, give him some guidance."
He continued, "He needs just, like, surround himself with a group of friends and, like, get away for a second and reset."
