Poor Eric Nies has lost his mind

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

"Dragon Lineage" Don't really need to read much more than that to get an idea of how deep he is into it. Yikes.

Also, why bother coloring the hair on the top of your head, if you're going to sport a white beard and white chest hair????

He hasn't just lost his mind, he's been like this for years now.

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.

The color of a man's head hair and the color of his chest hair often are different once older age is reached The hair on my head has been snowy white since my late 20s (I'm now 72), while the rest of my body hair is still dark brown. My beard is also snowy white.

Some people have deep spiritual/fairytale leanings - it's the same as deeply religious people - but in this case it's the woo-woo 'spiritual' stuff. They're all insufferable, arrogant and condescending.

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.

Holy crap.

In the interview at R55, Eric says that he was molested by a former manager who "manipulated him, brainwashed him, destroyed his relationship with all the networks, and stole all his money."

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.

He bravely revealed that he was sexually abused as a young child, which traumatized and prematurely sexualized him. This childhood sexual trauma removed the boundaries that adults rely on to protect themselves from sexual exploitation. As an adult he did not engage in homosexual acts for sexual gratification, he was abused and exploited by predator.

He did not say he was bisexual.

by Anonymousreply 82August 10, 2025 2:57 AM

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.
