5 | a | Lots of Photos of dad Drinking are shown | (VO Guy)Unbeknownst to the show, we learned that Guy wasnāt really addicted to chalk. However, we later learned the reason behind the lie was to get his father, Mr. Blank, some real help since he was the one dealing with a major addiction. Given that he was so close to the show we decided to send him to rehab. After seeing the pain he has caused on his family, leading his son just to fake an addiction in order to get him some help, he agreed to go. Fast-forward, three months later, Mr. Blank is doing better now; his family and friends are still around him and supporting him. Guy did apologize for the lie; he realized that itās not cool to fake an addiction for attention when there are REAL PEOPLE out there with REAL ADDICTIONS. |
