It’s female. He sings romantic ballads, he’s wholesome, he’s clean-cut, he’s very young, he’s under 20. This is a disaster in that regard.

The real question is, what does it do when kids read that affidavit, because they will. It’s online, (including) the most brutal parts, the most shocking parts, the most shocking parts, blood splattered across the car they were in, not just the threats, but the actual action.” Read more.
