Gradually, over time, it becomes a control tactic.” She also added how this feeling is like a ‘frog in boiling water’ that cannot jump out but knows the water will kill it.

A worried Vanderpump assured Tom that everything will be alright and his support is always there. To this, the Tom-Tom owner replied, “'I'm not that person. I wouldn't do that. So to hear him say he's had those thoughts and he didn't call me, that scares the f–king living daylights out of me. After losing my only sibling to suicide, I can't hear that and do nothing about it."

All three of us were in tears. She was very emotional because she says she'd seen a lot of similarities with her brother before he passed away, and she's very concerned, so she asked us to just ease up." She also went on to add, "Tom and her brother are very different people; I'm sorry. He still will not take responsibility for what he did. So, ease up?! I'm not going to be like, 'Hey everybody, it's me, Ariana, on my Instagram Story; if you guys could just like, be nice to my ex-boyfriend who did all these things...' that's not happening." She understands the stress Tom is undergoing, but at this point she is not caring anymore.

He was a famous NFL player. But how does that fit here? It made fans curious. To justify this, Aleksander added, “He was trying to express the oddity of becoming the symbolic center of a nationwide discussion and a major news story; what he communicated instead was something more honest, which is just how much the experience had made him lose perspective.”
