4. I wish it never happened. I'm honestly embarrassed. I would never joke about something like that. I'm also disturbed that I was set up like this by a co-worker. I want to thank my family, friends, team, viewers, strangers who have shown me that it will be okay. I know it..

3. ..About. I talk about it through my podcast and my stories. I try to make the dialogue personal. So, when my producer intentionally wrote terrible things about suicide and made light of it...I WAS FLOORED. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS IN THE PROMPTER. That is why I was so confused.
