In a surprising turn of events, former “Bachelorette” contestant Josh Seiter has announced that he has checked into a mental health facility. This comes just weeks after false reports circulated that he had died. However, Josh maintains that his Instagram account was hacked and that the death hoax was entirely fabricated.
In a recent statement, Josh revealed that he has been facing relentless harassment from “hundreds” of people since the incident. He expressed his desire to take a break from social media and focus on his mental well-being. “For the last month, I’ve received hundreds of hateful messages and unending harassment related to my account being hacked,” Josh shared. “I wish I was stronger, but I can’t take any more and am logging off of social media for good and am checking myself into a wellness facility now to try to get some kind of handle on my mental health.”
It is saddening to hear that Josh has been subjected to such cruel treatment and death threats. It is important to remember that behind the screens, there are real people with real emotions. Josh’s decision to prioritize his mental health is commendable and should be supported by his fans.
This is not the first time that Josh has addressed the death hoax. Previously, he explained his reasons for waiting 18 hours before coming forward to assure everyone that he was alive. It must have been a challenging situation for him to navigate, but he has consistently highlighted that he is a victim in this ordeal.
While we hope that Josh finds the solace and support he needs at the mental health facility, it’s imperative for us all to consider the impact our words can have on others, especially online. Let’s strive to create a compassionate and understanding environment instead of one filled with hate and harassment.
As fans, let’s stand by Josh and send positive thoughts his way. Mental health is something that affects us all, and it’s crucial to offer our support and understanding when someone takes the brave step of seeking help. Josh, we wish you the best in your recovery, and we hope to see you back on your feet soon.
