He clarified, “I shared that post to help any and everyone who’s possibly dealing with something and it’s causing grief in their lives!! I’m not in ANY WAY SAD or depressed, I have never ever been suicidal!!!”
In the background of the video, it was evident that Deon was in a hospital, although most people assumed he was there to visit his mother. However, a recent update from the TLC star revealed that he had also made a trip to the emergency room.
