After being asked if he blamed Catelynn for her illness, he answered honestly. “Yeah, after a certain amount of time, you’ve got to take accountability. ‘Uh Cate did you not notice you haven’t changed in three days? Did you not notice you haven’t gotten out of bed?’”

Though he admitted on-camera that he understood he might sound “insensitive,” on Twitter he doubled down on those sentiments. “Judge me. Hate me. Be angry with me. Don’t agree with me...I don’t care,” the 26-year-old wrote. “I’ll never stop speaking my truth.”

“I don’t blame anyone for being sick!” he insisted. “I blame the lack of action to use the remedy for that sickness. Becoming ill is not anyone’s fault...staying ill is a different story.”
