People don’t like you, they pity you’ … And then he just said — the daughters are just as bad.”*** Joel allegedly wrote in his post, ***“Just because you’re a pathetic drunk on a reality television show best known for a string of failed relationships and a DUI does not give you license to treat the people you work with like they are subhuman.

You may take out your stress, aggression, anxiety, on other people,”*** he theorized. ***“I think it’s possible that this could’ve happened. I do. I just felt like she was not in a great state when I spoke to her.”*** ***“She’s going through a rough time.
