My heart and prayers goes out to Jonathan, you can tell he loved his brother very much. The sadness in his eyes is heartbreaking. I pray he finds happiness and can heal from this
The mom failed them over and over. Trauma rolls deep into adult hood if not addressed. That guilt will stay with mom for years to come. ABUSE also came from mom.
He was sick not a monster. I know how it feels to be so scared of your father and your mother just watching. You're all alone. By yourself. STANDING ALONE is BETTER THAN standing with people who hurt u. Each relationship nurtures a strength or weakness within u. If his mom didn't feel guilty back then she doesn't now
he murdered his friend, left him to die alone in a deserted area ....He shot another friend in the face and his eye blew out. By the grace of God Alexander Bradley survived. and you are crying for Arron. Give me a freaking break.His whole family covered up his violence and lies since he was in college. You should be crying for the victims and their families, not Arron. DUH

I find Aaron Hernandez’s story fascinating. But my biggest take away is that regardless of the injuries, decisions were made that ruined so many lives.
that’s not a very good take away at all. That’s pathetic. It’s more about how people complain about troubled adults who come from broken homes yet truly do not care or have empathy for them or for solutions to the cycle of violence.
The thing is we don't know how CTE affects decision making. Aaron's brain had the worst case of CTE ever documented so we really can't even know if he could make decisions. There's just not enough studies done to make that determination.
he is a liar, the family are trash and they knew Arron was violent, shot people and they covered for him all the time. they lived off his money. Crappy people if you ask me
patti malik exactly. He is lying about Aaron’s guilt. He stutters suddenly, where he’s normally very well spoken. He knows Aaron did it, but he doesn’t want to say it for whatever reason.
@@willemp6330 you got it john...well he pays for the brother living style. aaron was the bread winner and had to support his nutty family, like wacko jacko. the family are criminals and coverred up for his murders and hit the car in the garage adn lied for him. that is wack,
Excuses excuses unbelievable smh so oj and that other moron who killed his baby momma also were sick minded as well tell this b s to Lloyd mother see wht she thinks????
This gentleman is brave and I have a lot of respect for him doing this interview. I’m sorry for your loss he was your brother you loved him and I understand. Blessings to you Sir I pray you heal amen 🙏🏻
So much respect for Jonathan Hernandez. Straight guys take note (all men really) could learn a lot from this guy. After losing his brother and knowing he will have to deal with all the media, questions, rumors and accusations he STILL chooses to do interviews in order to help others and prevent this happening to other gay youth. Most guys would have never been seen or heard from again. The fact that he is doing this to help others is probably the best way to heal and move on. The world we be a lot better place if there were more guys like Jonathan Hernandez.
Ronnie Bruno The problem is nobody knows for a fact if Aaron was gay or bisexual. He never said so & the people around him only think so because of lies told at trial. Aaron can’t speak for himself so I think people need to stop saying he’s “gay”. This brother is only on the show for the money. He basically said he would’ve done the documentary if they were paying more
TeeTee Thibodeaux he didn’t say that you liar, did you not pay attention? The beginning of the interview started with him saying the dollar amount presented wasn’t what mattered, it was the message it would have given the youth so that they wouldn’t have to go through the same
That makes me so sad... Your parents should always be the ones, you can go to, with anything... I truly believe Aaron was a good person, but life was hard for him... My heart goes out to him and his brother!!
Jonathan Hernandez book “The Truth About Aaron” makes you realize how traumatizing Aaron Hernandez life was from start to finish. I recommend it to everyone . R.I.P Aaron Hernandez
No respect for his mother. When you stand there and let a man beat your child , you too are a monster. His parents were terrible people. I think it was a combination of the abuse and CTE. My adult son doesn't watch football anymore. He hasn't since the findings about CTE came out.
I'm 47 years old and I can relate to a lot of this, my dad was a abusive alcoholic and to this very day, I can't eat in front of others because we always ate alone.
I’m sorry baby. I pray all those bad times can be buried and you’re totally healed. No matter who didn’t love us right we have to love ourselves for the little kids still inside of us.
Soul crushing. Both amazingly handsome young men... beaten, abused and torn.. dreams that were attainable and reached.. But not only did it set off an avalanche of extremely sad circumstances selfishly started out by their own parents, their flesh and blood that it cost Aaron in this case his life, literally.. Much love to you Jonathan.
Ppl that are saying CTE is a excuse do not have a true understanding of the human brain. The prefrontal cortex which is responsible for impulses and decision making was severely damaged in Aaron's brain. This is a very sad story especially for the innocent victims. RIP to those that lost their lives. Hopefully soon a diagnosis can be made for CTE before death in the future.
I think the people saying it is an excuse might be right why would you say people don't understand the human brain and it caused problems in the brain but say it's not an excuse
They need 2 find a cure for CTE. I would like to donate to find a cure for this disease. I have played football and I have been in many street brawls. I had a rough childhood and I think that CTE is easier to develop in people who are suffering from depression or trauma to begin with just like Aaron. We need to help our youth. Our young brothers who come from rough lives are trying to better their lives pursuing an NFL career could be the ones more at risk for CTE.
My heart goes out to this brother. Anyone who’s experienced being raised by a father who disciplines like a Tyrant instead of in a godly Nurturing way(Eph 6:4) can relate to his pain-Add to that the Loss of a brother & a mother who has her own issues. I don’t condone The Tragic Loss of the man who was murdered. God knows who’s responsible even if the Legal system fails. Praying healing for ALL the families🙏🏽
why should his family have respect???they hid the car, lied on the stand, covered up for him. they are trash the whole bunch of them. supposed he murdered your boyfriend or brother.
The brother just said that watching the documentary answered a lot of questions for people that knew Aaron and maybe answers some questions as to why he did what he did , I think the documentary did both good and bad IMO .
It was all propaganda.. such bullshit. Dude was not gay lol but they want u to think he was.. dont hide in the closet too long because you might kill people lol foh
@@joshuaa1605 How do you know for sure he was not? I am not sure after watching the documentary that he was, but usually were there is smoke there is fire. I doubt people randomly came with the idea to make him seem gay. There has to be some truth in there. Was it exaggerated and blown out in the documentary? Probably, but I doubt it was all a lie.
What an intelligent, well spoken, sweet and loving young man! Look how much love he has for his brother! And for others! How did he end up like this coming from that broken home? This is such a sad case. Didn't Aaron get any hekp while he was struggling? The trainers and the school should've helped him before it was to late. He had it all. The money, the career, the beautiful girl and even a baby. Yet he could not cut ties with those people that was bad for him. He kept on being a gangster. It's not easy to understand what went on in his mind.
I never believed the so called neighbor stories .... they really could have left him out . Nobody believes him and his family never heard of the so called neighbor.... anything for a dam story
Trina Renaye I didn’t believe him either. Like why did he come out to talk about this now when he had plenty of time to say this? And even if it were true, he knows Aaron had a fiancé, and daughter. You wouldn’t come out now to talk about your sexual relationship with Aaron now. What was his point to do that? To hurt Shayanna and her daughter? That’s a real low. Him and his father made me extremely upset. They just seem like two heroin addicts looking for a paycheck from Netflix on their stupid story.
That's why neither of you have had any impact whatsoever from the facts. making up your own stories without giving any proof, shows that your opinions are worthless.
Despite how the Aaron Hernandez story went downhill, my sincere condolences, & my sincere condolences for Odin’s & the others’ lives lost in this case also. It’s also good to see that not everyone sells their souls for 🤑👍, over things they don’t even agree with; glad he turned down the Netflix money.
Bama Realist thank you for not forgetting the victims because the victims are getting lost in this story, it's almost like they are not rated as valuable,I know that Aaron was a celebrity football player,but we are not giving the victims any real thought, I'm just hearing about Aaron mostly.
jonathan seems like a great guy. my heart breaks for him. it's interesting how two people in the same situation can end up so different, or at the very least expressing their pain in such different ways.
The public can say whatever they want about Aaron but he was someone's brother and son. His family didn't ask to be in this situation. My heart breaks for DJ.
Odin Lloyd's family also didn't ask for their brother/son to be killed by a maniac. But yeah, let's sensationalize a murderer. People never cease to amaze me.
Sweet Cyanide no one is debating that - we can still feel sadness for his brother, who by ALL accounts is a standup guy, who is clearly still mourning the loss - empathy isn’t a bad thing 🤷🏼♀️
@Tt111 he was framed. Was hoping Jose Baez would have had the opportunity to represent Aron in the Loyd appeal. In my opinion, Aron was framed out of jealousy. He was just too easy going. Always had a smile. Those ripples say it all!! Still don’t get why he killed himself. Jose was going to right the wrong. Will Never believe in a million years Aron Hernandez is a killer. ❤❤❤RIP Aron
He said a lot with " The message you receive from your parents ", so true how many things a kid keeps from their parent. Not all them, but some kids don't have that, out of fear, and THE WORDS, they may say.
Ana Chocolate I watched it just because I grew up watching Aaron play at college and with the pats and I haven’t finished it because it seemed like crap
@@joshuaa1605 I wasn't saying aaron was the victim in Odin Lloyd's situation or in the death with those two men. What I was saying was aaron was a victim of his own childhood and obviously those demons from abuse neglect and molestation followed him into adulthood. Unless u been through that u won't understand. Believe me it messes up your life and for the rest of your life.
His brother...Jonathan and Aaron, both of them are very handsome Italian men. It's hard to not cry about this. I feel bad for these 2 men...I dont know what is the truth. But I fell bad for both these men...They really cared for one another...
A big part of mental health in people is family dynamics. From my own therapy sessions I'm exploring how your parents behavior influences you in not a positive way
My heart is breaking for everyone involved the deaths the murder the beatings while growing up. The pain this has caused both families. I am sorry and my heart hurts for both families.
When I was growing up!!! I was whipped with a belt that left welts on my back because my brother and I were arguing in the pool. I was slapped in the face when 15 by my mother. I was chocked because I was watching TV and my brother wanted the remote control and I was hit with a bat in my stomach by my brother (have no clue why). I went through abuse and none of them acknowledged this.
Jonathan Hernandez, I want to thank you for this interview. You are a beautiful human being. I wish I could meet you, hug you and let you know God is and will be with you. Please look towards him. I do blame the mother and the CTE. I know Aaron made some wrong decisions but still he did not deserve to die or this fate. Jonathan, we love both you and Aaron. I hope you know our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Thank you for this interview and your book.
Damn, I didn't know the dad was abusive. I had heard he was domineering like Dr. Oz said, but he sounds like a cruel bastard. Clearly the children deeply suffered because of this abuse. I'm impressed by Aaron's brother, he's very well spoken and seems like a nice normal guy. He's clearly still devastated by his little brothers death, poor thing it's so sad to see him cry :( I cant even imagine
Such a awful, awful story. He had so much pain inside. You can definitely hear it in the recording phone calls with his mom. His dad was a monster!!! Lord Jesus bless his soul now. I hope he asked for forgiveness, repented.🙏🏻😢❣️
His mother was a very mean person. You can tell just by the nature of her phone calls. Demanding that she give him $1 million? Why? Because HE earned it? And his father, from all indications it sounds like he was sexually abused by his father. He came from a dysfunctional family and it appeared his only way out from that family was to play football, and he was blessed to have that talent, even though it came close to killing him, if not killing him in the end with all of the hits he took. Even tho no longer on this Earth, he is pain free and does not have to deal with his internal hell. The saddest and innocent is his pretty young daughter and fiancée’, who I believe dearly loved him. May he Rest In Peace and all of his demons are gone.
His dad was a double edged sword...if his dad hadn't died when he did, Aaron would've probably stood a chance in life. His dad kept him in line and helped to push his football career. Unfortunately, some people don't have it all and there was a form of abuse from his dad to get him in line. Aaron still loved him and took it badly when he passed.
Aaron moving out of his mother's home & into his cousin Tanya's home = moving out of the frying pan into the fire. Can't help but wonder if Tanya's major contribution to Aaron's demise was revenge for the mother having an affair with her husband.
Wonder why we feel the need to judge other's private lives. I'm a heterosexual woman and the only person I'd be interested in knowing that information about would be a romantic interest.
Yo these guys are so troubled. Jonathan was arrested for planning a mass shooting at my alma mater, UCONN!!!!😢😢😢😢😢 He seemed like such a nice guy!!!! What happened?!?!
money, drugs, associates , NFL life and thuggery played a part too...he's not the victim... many people live with less money n fame and don't kill people.
God bless Aaron, May he Rest In Peace. And blessings to his family & loved ones who are left behind to go on. I hope that they know that Aaron is with them & he tries to communicate with them (girlfriend, mother & brother) to let them know he’s still there...and his daughter sees him. She may not know how to relate this, at her age, but her daddy visits her often. Much love, Shelbie =)❤️
Playing football from youth through adulthood probably could cause the type of damage that Aaron presented...Think about the years of injuries during development
I don’t care what anyone says, I feel like Aaron killed because of his brain injury. He didn’t think rationally as he would have if he didn’t have his brain tossed around in his scull for years. He had too much to lose Sorry!!! R.I.P AARON 😢💔🙏🏽💯
I think those thugs he associated with killed in his presence and left him to hold the bag because they knew his brain wasn't right. To later extort him.
@John Edwards let's not pretend that his once close thug friend didnt try to extort him for money and have another shooting altercation after Aarons death. There were always multiple "thugs"around during the deaths who of which could have been the actual shooters in the killings. Yes, Aaron was present when it happened. That would cause a real situation for everyone around especially the person whose car it was done in. If someone killed someone while in your vehicle what would you do? Aaron was the weaker one when it came to the "real" street thugs he associated with. Just think about it for a second .
@@lemj-7478 the NFL has set aside billions of dollars for head injuries they started this a couple years ago to. Pay for long term treatment on all levels also to make better helmets so they protect the brain etc
A flower made die the sunset but a friend like you I'll never forget your name is so precious it's always never grow old it's in greeting in your daughter's heart In letters of gold rest peace Aaron Hernandez REST IN PEACE
Sean that’s not true I kind of homophobic person and i am very sure I am not gay....it’s just that I am so straight that I can’t imagine two person the same sex having a relationship...it’s the way my brain is wired and I am in no way a religion person..
natalie dell , I’ve never met a legitimately straight person that hated a gay person just for for the sake of it. If you google homophobic gay, you’ll see the scientific studies. I thought this was well known. Did you see the movie American Beauty? Same as what happened here.
I guess i was wired differently...When i see 2 people of the same sex, holding hands, kissing, that shows me that they are LUCKY IN LOVE....Im not grossed out by it at all, what grosses me out are seeing 2 str8 peeps kissing and wanting attention from it, GET A ROOM lol...
As a friend of the victim Odin, I can only say I have seen him uncomfortable in 2 situations. When I told him we have to climb the ladder to get to the roof of the building on the 4th of July to watch the fireworks and when 2 gay men were kissing in front of him while at work. The Netflix movie leaves out that Odin is from Trinidad. Most of the gay men in Boston go to that club Rumors. (Why you think they named it that then switched it to candy bar)
OMG This poor dear man is suffering. My sister committed suicide after a brain injury. She became hostile. That was 30 years ago. The pain is unbearable still at times it’s always there
You can see the pain in his eyes about his brother.My prayers are with him and his fiance and daughter they truely miss him.I think it was the dad's abuse him keeping in his sexuality and then the extreme case of cte combine those two major factors it's no shock on what happened what th a.h.
Lost souls need guidance and understanding and when parents set these unrealistic and often times unattainable expectations they want us to attain does nothing but harbor a internal resentment inside that causes the opposite of what the parents think they are doing. This story is tragic from start to finish. Aaron Hernandez was an extremely talented athlete yes but he was also a lost boy who had no where near the amount of time the journey of a boy becoming a man takes. I pray for peace for his family,much love
I dont understand how he doesnt think his brother was guilty. I feel sad for him for what he went through growing up. The fact that people hebdoesnt know are speaking on his brother like they knew him is disgusting too
Uh maybe because the dude he was with that night in his suv is a gunner?!! Homie he was with is seen on video shooting up a bar!! Never seen Aaron with videos like that!!!
His mum had struggles ,Show me somebody who doesn’t.She may not in others opinions made correct choices at times ,Show me somebody who does make the right decision everytime.NOBODY.Her boys are absolutely Loved and are loving ,Absolutely Beautiful as she is also xbThey had each other but stuff goes wrong ,it’s sad x
It is so sad about Aaron Hernandez. When there is something wrong with your brain, you know your body so well, it seems like you would know something is wrong. No way out could lead to suicide & so could brain injuries. No one would ever know the truth. Having parents that don't understand your sexuality & you've been beat by your dad, leads to a scar on your soul that would never heal. Man, my heart hurts.

Parents don't realize how they can really ruin and screw up their children.
Yes 💯
Aaron is a prime example of that

Prayers for Jonathan and his mother and family, as they continue on in their healing journeys. Can not imagine all that they have gone through.
@@nancyburtnett3490DJ is in deep ass legal trouble now

He was in jail for abuse of his wife.
The mom failed them over and over. Trauma rolls deep into adult hood if not addressed. That guilt will stay with mom for years to come. ABUSE also came from mom.

Blame doesn’t help. She had troubles too. She may have been beaten.
We’re all human. We’re all flawed.
But she was abused its such a cycle
The mom doesn't deserve to be blamed for what happened to the victims of Aaron.

I doubt people randomly came with the idea to make him seem gay. There has to be some truth in there. Was it exaggerated and blown out in the documentary? Probably, but I doubt it was all a lie.
What an intelligent, well spoken, sweet and loving young man!
Look how much love he has for his brother!
And for others!
How did he end up like this coming from that broken home?
This is such a sad case.
Didn't Aaron get any hekp while he was struggling?
The trainers and the school should've helped him before it was to late.
He had it all.
The money, the career, the beautiful girl and even a baby.
Yet he could not cut ties with those people that was bad for him.
He kept on being a gangster.
It's not easy to understand what went on in his mind.
Leo O he’s a liar. And his lies hurt the family of the victims
So sorry for your loss, DJ❣️ Wish you peace of mind and happiness in life!
I never believed the so called neighbor stories .... they really could have left him out . Nobody believes him and his family never heard of the so called neighbor.... anything for a dam story
Trina Renaye I didn’t believe him either. Like why did he come out to talk about this now when he had plenty of time to say this? And even if it were true, he knows Aaron had a fiancé, and daughter. You wouldn’t come out now to talk about your sexual relationship with Aaron now. What was his point to do that? To hurt Shayanna and her daughter? That’s a real low. Him and his father made me extremely upset. They just seem like two heroin addicts looking for a paycheck from Netflix on their stupid story.
That's why neither of you have had any impact whatsoever from the facts. making up your own stories without giving any proof, shows that your opinions are worthless.
Despite how the Aaron Hernandez story went downhill, my sincere condolences, & my sincere condolences for Odin’s & the others’ lives lost in this case also. It’s also good to see that not everyone sells their souls for 🤑👍, over things they don’t even agree with; glad he turned down the Netflix money.
Bama Realist thank you for not forgetting the victims because the victims are getting lost in this story, it's almost like they are not rated as valuable,I know that Aaron was a celebrity football player,but we are not giving the victims any real thought, I'm just hearing about Aaron mostly.
Absolutely 🕊
My heart is hurting for this man.
Louix Griego he’s a liar
Jonathan, May God continue to bless you. You must remain very strong.
jonathan seems like a great guy. my heart breaks for him. it's interesting how two people in the same situation can end up so different, or at the very least expressing their pain in such different ways.
This comment didn't age well lol. He plotted to shoot up Uconn.
@@riotpb10 damn. this family, man...
The public can say whatever they want about Aaron but he was someone's brother and son. His family didn't ask to be in this situation. My heart breaks for DJ.
Lupe Burgara he killed me on the gladiator podcast
Odin Lloyd's family also didn't ask for their brother/son to be killed by a maniac. But yeah, let's sensationalize a murderer. People never cease to amaze me.
He killed people let that sink in. Hes a monster who used his fame to get away with crimes.
Sweet Cyanide no one is debating that - we can still feel sadness for his brother, who by ALL accounts is a standup guy, who is clearly still mourning the loss - empathy isn’t a bad thing 🤷🏼♀️
@Tt111 he was framed. Was hoping Jose Baez would have had the opportunity to represent Aron in the Loyd appeal. In my opinion, Aron was framed out of jealousy. He was just too easy going. Always had a smile. Those ripples say it all!! Still don’t get why he killed himself. Jose was going to right the wrong. Will Never believe in a million years Aron Hernandez is a killer. ❤❤❤RIP Aron
Thanks!
He said a lot with " The message you receive from your parents ", so true how many things a kid keeps from their parent. Not all them, but some kids don't have that, out of fear, and THE WORDS, they may say.
This is just so sad for all the families involved, and the Netflix doc was so superficial.
Ana Chocolate I watched it just because I grew up watching Aaron play at college and with the pats and I haven’t finished it because it seemed like crap
Aaron was a victim as well. But the real victim's in all this were lloyd and those two men. People seem to forget.
blue bella exactly my point
THANK YOU
Aaron was not a victim...but I see this bullshit documentary propaganda is actually making people believe it lol crazy
@@joshuaa1605 I wasn't saying aaron was the victim in Odin Lloyd's situation or in the death with those two men. What I was saying was aaron was a victim of his own childhood and obviously those demons from abuse neglect and molestation followed him into adulthood. Unless u been through that u won't understand. Believe me it messes up your life and for the rest of your life.
@@miabella9471 like I said the documentary clearly worked in making aaron a victim lol
His brother...Jonathan and Aaron, both of them are very handsome Italian men. It's hard to not cry about this. I feel bad for these 2 men...I dont know what is the truth. But I fell bad for both these men...They really cared for one another...
Aweee this man loved his brother and I think his family stood away from courts because of pain
I'm so sorry for his brother and family. It is all so sad. I wish them all strength.
God bless Aaron and his brother! Aaron you are saving lots of lives even though your not here!
My heart goes out to him💔Rest In Paradise Aaron 🌹🕊️🌹🕊️🌹
A big part of mental health in people is family dynamics. From my own therapy sessions I'm exploring how your parents behavior influences you in not a positive way
This is heart breaking, bless him❤️
OMG! These UA-cam commercials!! Dr.Oz, you done make enough??? Lol
Huh
💯
Just pay for premium and stfu
You tube red, 15 dollars a month for a family account for five, no commercials and you tube music included ☺️
Just skip to the end and hit replay. No ads.
My heart breaks for this man..
My heart is breaking for everyone involved the deaths the murder the beatings while growing up. The pain this has caused both families. I am sorry and my heart hurts for both families.
I feel so sorry for him and what he went through
I hope this family can get some peace soon.
When I was growing up!!!
I was whipped with a belt that left welts on my back because my brother and I were arguing in the pool.
I was slapped in the face when 15 by my mother.
I was chocked because I was watching TV and my brother wanted the remote control and I was hit with a bat in my stomach by my brother (have no clue why).
I went through abuse and none of them acknowledged this.
Damn. We love you man. Our prayers are with you.
I like how the Dr Oz audience is so respectful
Jonathan Hernandez, I want to thank you for this interview. You are a beautiful human being. I wish I could meet you, hug you and let you know God is and will be with you. Please look towards him. I do blame the mother and the CTE. I know Aaron made some wrong decisions but still he did not deserve to die or this fate. Jonathan, we love both you and Aaron. I hope you know our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Thank you for this interview and your book.
Damn, I didn't know the dad was abusive. I had heard he was domineering like Dr. Oz said, but he sounds like a cruel bastard. Clearly the children deeply suffered because of this abuse. I'm impressed by Aaron's brother, he's very well spoken and seems like a nice normal guy. He's clearly still devastated by his little brothers death, poor thing it's so sad to see him cry :( I cant even imagine
Love you for speaking up.
I wish I could give him the biggest hug in the world.
Such a awful, awful story. He had so much pain inside. You can definitely hear it in the recording phone calls with his mom. His dad was a monster!!! Lord Jesus bless his soul now. I hope he asked for forgiveness, repented.🙏🏻😢❣️
I agree that this is an awful and unfortunate story, I'm also not justifying family problems,but the mom and dad aren't the reason for the murders.
His mother was a very mean person. You can tell just by the nature of her phone calls. Demanding that she give him $1 million? Why? Because HE earned it? And his father, from all indications it sounds like he was sexually abused by his father. He came from a dysfunctional family and it appeared his only way out from that family was to play football, and he was blessed to have that talent, even though it came close to killing him, if not killing him in the end with all of the hits he took. Even tho no longer on this Earth, he is pain free and does not have to deal with his internal hell. The saddest and innocent is his pretty young daughter and fiancée’, who I believe dearly loved him. May he Rest In Peace and all of his demons are gone.
His dad was a double edged sword...if his dad hadn't died when he did, Aaron would've probably stood a chance in life. His dad kept him in line and helped to push his football career. Unfortunately, some people don't have it all and there was a form of abuse from his dad to get him in line. Aaron still loved him and took it badly when he passed.
@@jenniferhaynes8625 Agree. Being abused as a child is *no* excuse for at least 4 homicides & 3 non-fatal shootings!
Aaron moving out of his mother's home & into his cousin Tanya's home = moving out of the frying pan into the fire. Can't help but wonder if Tanya's major contribution to Aaron's demise was revenge for the mother having an affair with her husband.
Wonder why we feel the need to judge other's private lives. I'm a heterosexual woman and the only person I'd be interested in knowing that information about would be a romantic interest.
thanks for letting us know you are a heterosexual female. very useful information.
And he was a down low man no comparison
Annmarie Bailey Sabel Sabel where are you from? 😆
Yo these guys are so troubled. Jonathan was arrested for planning a mass shooting at my alma mater, UCONN!!!!😢😢😢😢😢 He seemed like such a nice guy!!!! What happened?!?!
money, drugs, associates , NFL life and thuggery played a part too...he's not the victim... many people live with less money n fame and don't kill people.
How is this the full interview? Where's the rest of it?
Why can't an interview be 15 mins long?
This is not dr Phil the show has segments lol
It’s 15 minutes lol it’s just minus the adds
I wish we would discuss the victims in this case more often. I’m sorry Aaron went through so much but he did kill someone’s son and brother.
God bless Aaron, May he Rest In Peace. And blessings to his family & loved ones who are left behind to go on. I hope that they know that Aaron is with them & he tries to communicate with them (girlfriend, mother & brother) to let them know he’s still there...and his daughter sees him. She may not know how to relate this, at her age, but her daddy visits her often. Much love, Shelbie =)❤️
What about God blessing Odin and his family and the other two victims and their families you people are sick
Playing football from youth through adulthood probably could cause the type of damage that Aaron presented...Think about the years of injuries during development
God bless you Dj...🙏🙏😔😔
We love u‼‼‼‼
Such a intelligent and strong man u r👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Omg let the guy and his family rest!
he is a creep, rot in hell arron
I don’t care what anyone says, I feel like Aaron killed because of his brain injury. He didn’t think rationally as he would have if he didn’t have his brain tossed around in his scull for years. He had too much to lose Sorry!!! R.I.P AARON 😢💔🙏🏽💯
GOODBYE. He didn’t kill because he has a brain injury, he killed because he WANTED to.
No one can know. Tragedy follows a damaged brain. That we do know.
I think those thugs he associated with killed in his presence and left him to hold the bag because they knew his brain wasn't right. To later extort him.
@John Edwards let's not pretend that his once close thug friend didnt try to extort him for money and have another shooting altercation after Aarons death. There were always multiple "thugs"around during the deaths who of which could have been the actual shooters in the killings. Yes, Aaron was present when it happened. That would cause a real situation for everyone around especially the person whose car it was done in. If someone killed someone while in your vehicle what would you do? Aaron was the weaker one when it came to the "real" street thugs he associated with. Just think about it for a second .
@@lemj-7478 the NFL has set aside billions of dollars for head injuries they started this a couple years ago to. Pay for long term treatment on all levels also to make better helmets so they protect the brain etc
The Brother has a full of love ❤️
A flower made die the sunset but a friend like you I'll never forget your name is so precious it's always never grow old it's in greeting in your daughter's heart In letters of gold rest peace Aaron Hernandez REST IN PEACE
I really like this guy. You can tell he loves his brother.
The father was gay/bi too and hated himself for it. Homophobia exclusively exists due to those in the closet with shame. This is well documented.
Sean that’s not true I kind of homophobic person and i am very sure I am not gay....it’s just that I am so straight that I can’t imagine two person the same sex having a relationship...it’s the way my brain is wired and I am in no way a religion person..
natalie dell , I’ve never met a legitimately straight person that hated a gay person just for for the sake of it. If you google homophobic gay, you’ll see the scientific studies. I thought this was well known. Did you see the movie American Beauty? Same as what happened here.
Some people hate what they can't understand.
I guess i was wired differently...When i see 2 people of the same sex, holding hands, kissing, that shows me that they are LUCKY IN LOVE....Im not grossed out by it at all, what grosses me out are seeing 2 str8 peeps kissing and wanting attention from it, GET A ROOM lol...
@@nataliedell6515
LOL
That was a good one.
As a friend of the victim Odin, I can only say I have seen him uncomfortable in 2 situations. When I told him we have to climb the ladder to get to the roof of the building on the 4th of July to watch the fireworks and when 2 gay men were kissing in front of him while at work. The Netflix movie leaves out that Odin is from Trinidad. Most of the gay men in Boston go to that club Rumors. (Why you think they named it that then switched it to candy bar)
Omg his brother is clearly in pain
His book I would love to read
OMG This poor dear man is suffering. My sister committed suicide after a brain injury. She became hostile. That was 30 years ago. The pain is unbearable still at times it’s always there
You can see the pain in his eyes about his brother.My prayers are with him and his fiance and daughter they truely miss him.I think it was the dad's abuse him keeping in his sexuality and then the extreme case of cte combine those two major factors it's no shock on what happened what th a.h.
Lost souls need guidance and understanding and when parents set these unrealistic and often times unattainable expectations they want us to attain does nothing but harbor a internal resentment inside that causes the opposite of what the parents think they are doing. This story is tragic from start to finish. Aaron Hernandez was an extremely talented athlete yes but he was also a lost boy who had no where near the amount of time the journey of a boy becoming a man takes. I pray for peace for his family,much love
God Bless this man 🙏❤
I dont understand how he doesnt think his brother was guilty. I feel sad for him for what he went through growing up. The fact that people hebdoesnt know are speaking on his brother like they knew him is disgusting too
These brothers, their story reminds me of Lyle & Erik Menendez story !
Omg I get it I sure get what he is talking about I feel so bad for Aarón and his brother I feel for them
Why bruh? Daddies can b like dat
God bless them all , rest in peace🙏🏻
Duh! That's his brother, naturally he's going to defend him!!🙄
Chrysi Chrysi of course! It would be strange if he didn’t!
Even when suicide is the biggest admission of guilt
@@bigloads4u exactly & of course, his brother is going to feel guilt over that too
Chrysi Chrysi watch Channeling with Erik if you havent already.Im with you on this one
Wonder why his brother thinks he was hiding the silver suv in his cousin's garage if he was innocent ?
Was thinking exact same thing...I have no idea why Dr. Oz is doing an interview if he can't even speak the facts?
Denial.
Uh maybe because the dude he was with that night in his suv is a gunner?!! Homie he was with is seen on video shooting up a bar!! Never seen Aaron with videos like that!!!
Roscko 562 so why wouldn’t he tell buddy he had to hide the car
Good question
Denial is an interesting thing. It’s like a mental self defense mechanism. For those who can’t handle the truth.
His mum had struggles ,Show me somebody who doesn’t.She may not in others opinions made correct choices at times ,Show me somebody who does make the right decision everytime.NOBODY.Her boys are absolutely Loved and are loving ,Absolutely Beautiful as she is also xbThey had each other but stuff goes wrong ,it’s sad x
I wish he was still well and alive
Jonathan seems like a great and thoughtful dude.
It is so sad about Aaron Hernandez. When there is something wrong with your brain, you know your body so well, it seems like you would know something is wrong. No way out could lead to suicide & so could brain injuries. No one would ever know the truth. Having parents that don't understand your sexuality & you've been beat by your dad, leads to a scar on your soul that would never heal. Man, my heart hurts.
I hear ya bro. Speak upon him with grace
