00:00Jonathan Majors hit rock bottom and he is opening up about what that looked like for

00:06him and admitting that there were more than, it was more than one time, at least the way

00:12he's describing it, that he contemplated suicide.

00:16You know of course what Jonathan went through, the allegations that he faced, the trial that

00:21he went through.

00:22This was where he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, and it was an Uber?

00:27Yeah, in the back of that SUV there.

00:30Now the trial ended and he actually beat the more serious charges, but his career took

00:37a major blow.

00:39And I think that's what he's referring to here.

00:41He was on Kirk Franklin's Den of Kings podcast and said this about suicide and how his now

00:49wife, Megan Good, helped him through it.

00:52Have you ever been to that space where you ever thought about suicide as black men?

00:58I mean I was, I mean, yeah absolutely, I was on suicide watch, me and my wife.

01:09There were times when we never spoke about it, but we never, she never left me alone.

01:19And I never let myself be alone.

01:24Because we had spoken about that, you know.

01:28And I put it to a very straight, you know, I don't know, I just don't want, I just don't

01:34want it.

01:35You know, you talk about life, you know, I just don't want it.

01:38You know, I just don't want.

01:40What brought you to that place?

01:41Yeah.

01:42Um, isolation.

01:43Right?

01:44Ostracism.

01:45Humiliation.

01:46I have a question for you.

01:51The question was, I thought about, have you ever thought about suicide as a black man?

01:58Why did they add as a black man?

01:59Well, because Kirk was speaking to everyone on the, they were, his guests were all black

02:04men.

02:05But I'm wondering why.

02:06I'm wondering-

02:07Because it's a thing in the black community that a lot of, it's just-

02:11You don't talk about it.

02:12You can't talk about your emotions.

02:13You don't talk about mental health.

02:14You can't talk about wanting to be suicidal.

02:15Mental health is one, it's like a taboo thing for black men, especially, to talk about in

02:19our community.

02:20So to see a podcast like this, to see him, Kirk Franklin, bring a lot of black men together,

02:25Ray J, Jonathan Majors, NLD Choppa.

02:28And for them to be honest about-

02:29To talk about-

02:30And open and vulnerable.

02:31Right.

02:32To see black men cry, to see black men talk about their emotions is something that,

02:36we don't see a lot in the black community.

02:37I get it.

02:38So for him, it's a very poignant thing to point out, for sure.

02:42Yeah, I get it.

02:43I get it.

02:44I get it.

02:45I get it.

02:46I got it.

02:47I got it.

02:48I got it.

02:49I got it.

02:50I got it.

02:51No, I got it.

02:52I got it.

02:53You got it.

02:54I got it.

02:55I got it.
