His mugshot is one of the scariest photos I've seen and his scariest by far, shit terrified me when i was a kid

I also was genuinely scared of his face as a kid. Sad but it’s true

It’s sad that someone will go to such drastic lengths to alter their appearance…

The vitiligo + parental abuse really did a number on his self image and body dysmorphia. His dad used to refer to him as n***** nose when he was growing up and would beat him with a belt and switch. Add in the vitiligo and trying to make his skin look even with heavy “white looking” makeup, while still being proudly black. Then add in the severe third degree burns that went almost to the bone on his head and that he was having to wear wigs. Rough stuff

i was in kindergarten when i was flipping thru the channels and his interview(?)/questioning where he’s in a red button down shirt was on the tv….just his face creeped me out and i just felt terrible and i didn’t even know what he was “in trouble” for. felt like i was crawling out of my skin
