Reflecting on that period, the reality TV star said he often identifies with people who say they would never take their own lives, recalling that he once felt similarly during his own difficult experience.
His revelation has sparked conversations among viewers about academic pressure, mental health and the importance of seeking support when stress becomes overwhelming.
He said …
“When they say, ‘I can’t kill myself,’ that is me. I dropped out of university in my final year because it was stressing me out. I was going to watch movies.”
