The OG Real Worlder and host of the Grind work out videos has lost his mind to the Woo, making videos about his encounters with mystical beings and dragons on the spiritual plain. This is what plant medicine healing leads to. Poor guy

He was on that Scott Baio VH1 teen idol show ages, and he talked about bathing in his own urine. He gave off dirty, smelly hippy vibes.
I used to masturbate to him on The Grind all the time when it was on MTV.

Popular Twinks never age well. They don't want to be daddies, but they want the same attention they once had but now no one gives them a second look. So perplexed by this they often go off the deep end in crazy spiritual exploration / drugs in hopes of a return to their lost status.

I remember those MTV specials a few years ago when they reunited the early casts of RW. The NY cast was the first one and Eric ended up being placed in a separate apartment because he had failed his Covid test. He seemed fine health-wise and participated in discussions with the others via video. He spoke of his new lifestyle with meditation and such. He didn't come off (IMO) as strange, but again, that was a few years ago.

He said that around that time, he was "introduced" to the Illuminati, the New World Order, and "dark satanic stuff," and was suicidal, all at the age of around 22 or 23.

Research shows that some people who were sexually abused as children may later develop patterns of overt sexual behavior or flirtatiousness in adulthood, but it’s not universal.
Here’s the nuanced picture:
⸻
1. Why this can happen
• Trauma and boundaries
Childhood sexual abuse can disrupt a person’s ability to develop a healthy sense of sexual boundaries. Later, they may unconsciously use sexualized behavior as a way to seek attention, validation, or control in social situations.
• Learned behavior
If a child’s first experiences of receiving “special” attention are sexualized, they might internalize the idea that sexuality is their main source of worth or power.
• Overcompensation for shame
Some survivors feel deep shame or self-worth issues; being overtly sexual can become a defense mechanism to appear confident or desirable.
• Attachment and fear of rejection
Sexual or flirtatious behavior may be a way to maintain closeness with others when emotional intimacy feels unsafe.

Eric was trying to have a conversation with him, even mentioning friends he had grown up with that he was in contact with, only to have his father reply 'I'm suppose to remember friends you had when you were a kid?' I don't think his father wanted to be on camera and it showed. Not a lot of their backstory was explained so all you saw was Eric trying to bond with his father, which did not go so well.
