Theo von directly addressed concerns about his well-being following a widely criticized Netflix special, stating he has “zero intent to harm himself.” The comedian’s response came after his recent performance sparked a wave of negative reactions and prompted speculation about his mental state.
Von acknowledged the show was poorly received but indicated he’s moved past the experience and won’t allow it to derail his career. He emphasized the strong support system he has, citing numerous people who care about him as a reason to continue. The clarification aims to quell anxieties among fans and those close to him, and allow him to move forward professionally.
According to reports, Von communicated that he has accepted the negative feedback and permitted those present at the taping to share their experiences on social media. He views the incident as an isolated setback, not a defining moment.
Von specifically highlighted his reasons for continuing, stating he has too many people he cares about, and who care about him, to consider ending his life.
