I swear he had freak (and not at all suspicious) accident at home involving his jaw few years ago.

[mayjailer]

you're right, he broke his jaw in 2013 after slipping and hitting it on a fountain in his home. so i guess he's been doing physical therapy since then, and stopping during the pandemic affected him? this new article didn't specify how long ago the accident happened. iirc, there was speculation at the time that he was injured in a physical altercation trying to score drugs?

[madhler]

Yeah, he said he’d slipped on a puddle. But maybe you are right and this is the same incident. I had to Google but the “drug” altercation was actually a separate incident. He and his bodyguard were hanging out on Skid Row and he ended up getting punched in the face.

ah, looking back at the ontd post about the fall, it seems like everyone assumed he was high. that's probably why i mixed it up.

[madhler]

Ok yeah it totally makes sense that a broken bone would be kinda vulnerable even after it heals.

any time a famous person (who isn't a senior citizen) has an 'accidental fall' I just assume substances were involved (i'm looking at you, jimmy fallon being drunk af and almost ripping off your finger...)

as someone who recently fucked up their knee by falling over in the kitchen, some of us aren't intoxicated, we're just clumsy

[curlycutie016]

I hope you're OK!

but you're not famous trying to explain a strange injury on a talk show or in a magazine so I stand by my initial statement

[winter_lace]

HA. Yeah no, I'm fine, I'm just clumsy af. I always have the most random injuries. Funnily enough, my mum who I look after, had a fall the same week so we were quite a pair.
