He Was Ripped For Ditching His Children

Unfortunately, his video was NOT well-received by those who follow him on Instagram. One individual questioned where his children were and why he didn’t spend Thanksgiving with them.

  • “Oh so grateful are you? Jesus I wish you luck but yer a douche bag. Have been since you left your first family before Tori: get off social media and sort yourself. This is gross”
  • “Nothing about Tori.”
