As someone who’s in LE for years and who’s dealing with people with MH issues on an almost daily basis, I honestly would not take Andrew’s 000 calls reporting someone is a rapist seriously. The scary thing is it still doesn’t mean what he’s saying isn’t true. He is turning into a tortured soul, and his girlfriend is also sending out an extremely uneasy vibe. How is a sick person going to get better if they are spending time with another sick person? Then again you can’t break them up because Grace is the only person left and seems to not think Andrew is insane. It’s really sad.
Well said
I reckon it might be a case of the mrs slowly pushing people out of andrews life and he’s got it twisted and is wigging out
@ sounds like domestic violence by way of isolating Andrew from his family and other social circles. I was also wondering what’s happened with his eyes there were clearly bruises showing. Not suggesting it was because of her but it is concerning on many levels
This is andrews mother. You are spot on he is severely manic and needs professional help. It has not been easy and we are doing what we can to help him. And yes Grace is just as sick as Andrew and a big enabler. To anyone who Andrew has hurt I am sorry. Mental illness is an epidemic now. If people tune in to Andrews channels or Grace and hear of them threatening people please report it to get the channel removed.
@@NoChance-zl3nb Oh Andrew hit himself and tried to say someone else did it
I'm Andrews sister and actually seeing the scale of ppl that have watched his manic episode, some mocking him is just heartbreaking. He is in jail currently and has done a lot of fucked up things to a lot of ppl and on behalf of our family I want to apologize to all those who got negatively affected.
All in all, the boys here at the pod just want Andrew to get the help he needs, to heal and move on past this. Even if he chooses to never step back on the mats again, we just want what is best for him and his life.
@BJJBalance thank you, the family appreciates it. It so difficult to get an adult mental health. It feels like a bad circus act jumping through hoops just to get him hospitalized for treatment but he either escapes, refuse help or gets so combative that no hospital wants to deal with him and cannot keep police around 24/7. The Andrew I knew, loved and grew up with has turned into a monster refusing mental help. He has no remorse because he doesn't fully realize what he's doing. I mean I'm his sister and he had posted my address and phone number before his Instagram was taken down causing so much harassment because a lot of ppl believed his delusions 100%. He's set back the family majorly financially from all of trying to help him.
@ I’m sorry to hear that. It’s wild to me how he has some people so easily fooled.
@@BJJBalance the family sees through the minupulation and I guess you would call social media gaslighting. He's still in denial of anything he's done last few months although we all were able to watch first hand on social media
@ it’s obvious to anyone with any measurable amount of life experience
Whats up with him is that he is insane. Currently experiencing a manic episode and is completely unhinged. I heard he is also locked up currently. His Instagram has been dark for several days.
Hopefully he is getting tv treatment that he needs.
Wrong. It's not mental health. It's a meth addiction. His brother even said that
@PhillipBlackburn-ik5bb lol no.. andrews childhood trauma and mental health struggles are well documented. Drugs may exacerbate it but its not the sole cause.
@@PhillipBlackburn-ik5bbit’s more than likely both. Meth and mental illness are a bad combo
Great conversation and topics that are very relevant to us JJ Dads. Subscribed! 🤘OSS! Thanks.
Welcome to the channel, man. Glad you enjoyed it.
It’s gotten escalated. I’m really scared for his girlfriend. She seems to have come from a rough background, got reliant on him, and now he is being _awful_ to her. This probably will not end well.
I read more that she’s enabling him. Like stoking the fire. I hope for all parties involved that it doesn’t go south.
@ I agree with you, I think that’s actually how it was at the beginning… But now she’s like really got nowhere to go. I don’t think she realized the depths at first
@@jbb8261 she was half the problem. They were extremely toxic towards each other but this is after she thought him being manic was funny because of the off the wall shit he'd say. She realized it wasnt so funny when our mother and I flew to my Vernon to get try help andrew. When they mad the trip to me in Louisiana things had escalated due to his mania escalating. I can say I've never seen Andrew hit her but I have security cameras footage of her running up and punching him in the face. Andrew could be very verbally abusive but so could she. Mind you she drove them on their "Bonnie and Clyde" trip willingly. So in the end they had become those toxic always fighting couple. I will not defend either of them because of what I witnessed and how traumatizing crazy it was. They left a path of destruction everywhere they went. In a way Grace is a victim but was also an enabler. She also steals, lies, tells half truths and heavily exaggerates or edits the events to make herself look like 100% the victim. It took our family three different states, courts and not so helpful police Andrew was finally arrested for a psyc eval and instead ended up in jail. Actions have consequences. my only irritation with this scenario is he is in jail and she isn't, when both were at fault. I got receipts to backup everything I've said. I do hope Grace heals and learned from this lesson because if it had continued on the path it was on someone was going to end up seriously hurt or dead. Again I apologize for the events that unfolded with andrews manic episode. It's been really hard on the family. 😮💨
@@emilycatherinemartinez6997 I’m sorry for all of that and I can’t even imagine. I became invested after he made threats to p*nch one of my female friends in the face (we both train bjj and her gym was going to have him for a seminar until he started declining). So I’ve never been a “popcorn in hand laughing at the situation” observer. I hope he gets help or accepts it. His situation seemed so bad.
@@jbb8261 she went back to her parents day after Andrew was arrested. Mind you the two of them came to Louisiana stole my dog drove all way to Michigan where Grace ended up abandoning dogs at my dad's when Andrew was arrested. So I'm now driving 22 hrs to retrieve my dog from animal shelter in Michigan, unfortunately I cannot get Andrews dogs back for him. He's literally lost everything over this episode. Someone burned his house down while he was at my house, vandalized his car making it in moveable. No job, can't do social so no more conning got money. Will have no place once he's released. He's burned so many bridges that at this moment I believe me and our mother are only ones trying give him positive encouragement to get better and do better. What we wanted didn't go way we wanted, we worked hard trying to get Andrew hospitalized in three states and instead of help he got himself legal troubles which is only going make things worse. He's still semi delusional and gets mad when you point out about his episode. He has gaps in memory or remembers a whole different situation then what has actually happened in reality. Only reason he finally believed that he betrayed me was guaranteeing I have screen recordings of what he said, threatened and did. BJJ community wasn't only ppl he verbally attacked he threw our parents under the bus by posting their phone numbers resulting in never ending harassing calls. My parents are in their 70's you have questions contact me. As everyone seen poor bird was most his focus with threats, me he stole my dog amongst other things. I'm the older sister and Andrew has never been like this as far as I can remember and we did grow up in same household with his dad (my step father). For those who watched Grace slander my mother, she blatantly lied just to keep everyone's attention because she loves the clout she's getting from this. She's adding false police reports from Illinois while Andrew is already in jail but cannot stop talking and lying. Don't let that sweet "innocent" face fool you, she is just as guilty she just ran state before any charges could get picked up on her. I will be releasing the footage of her attacking him a couple times from my security cameras to prosecutor office in county Andrew is in. Not to help him but she deserves to be behind bars getting help just as much as Andrew.
does anybody knows whats wrong with wiltse? , i have seen him posting stuff with rapists, talking about how craig jones and gordon wil bee arrested? what the fuck is going on with him? does he have mental issues? for real i hope he gets help , god bless u andrew
It appears to be a manic episode. I could be completely wrong. Some say drug use.
I was literally just wondering about Andrew Wiltse this week!
He’s been on a wild one lately.
Andrew is extremely bright. He’s also someone who deals with mania, if not manic-depression, and likely other mental health disorders (they rarely are solo).
A lot of what he’s displaying looks identical to my brother-in-law when he goes manic. It’s sad and infuriating, but ultimately it’s something they have to be willing to deal with, and that’s very difficult to get them to do.
I just hope he is getting the care that he needs to become a better, healthier version of himself.
He has gotten much worse and deleted his accounts today. I'm super concerned.
Edit: He made a new account.
It’s believed that the deleted accounts were due to them being shared with his brother.
I think we are watching a potential Netflix doc tragedy tbh. It’s *bad*
He’s refused all help and burned all
Bridges. He’s on his own
That seems to be the case.
@ mental illness isn’t your fault but it IS your responsibility
Well said.
Denny Prokopo’s episodes are very similar to Andrew’s episodes
I vaguely remember that. But I hear Denny is in a god place now.
@ he does seem to be right now, but every couple years he has a pretty bad episode. The last one was probably the worst, he called eddy bravo a p*dophile and r*pist was making many negative posts about Eddie to the point dennys mother was texting him telling to stop. Anyone he was suddenly mad at he would say “i will give it to you Greek style with no olive oil” and sometimes give more graphic details of what he would do to people. He uploaded many videos of himself doing motions with his hands saying there was a ball of light, although there was nothing there, and would insinuate he had powers. He was basically non stop posting every second of the day with a lot of it being off the wall shit. Everyone was definitely concerned for him, but I don’t recall him ever making actual death threats like Andrew did.
Jacob Couch posted that Andrew would get him in submissions and start talking about how he(Andrew) could rape Couch at will because he was helpless, this was in the first couple months of Couch arriving to train at the laundromat. That Lion metaphor was spot on, Heath and Flow got what they wanted but in the end they did not want to get bit!
Holy Fuck. That’s insane.
This is insane levels of ego and sadism.
We lost touch with the eastern routes of our art and are left with this
@@MultiAwesomered I’ve often thought that.
Hahahahaha I tell my team this as well . But I guess it’s not joking when wiltse says it
@@chaystafari3228 I think it’s a matter of desire.
According to Andrew he’s smarter than us and we are dumb people so he’s doing things we can’t understand because of our low IQ. I hope he gets better so he can explain to us regular dummies
Hahaha. Same.
Pretending to take a meme seriously is part of the joke guys ur not the only ones with humor, nice trolling u regards
What?
One day heading to work I look over and 2 homeless dudes were hitting each other with cardboard. Would you call that a pillow fight?
Hahahhahahahahahahahaha.
Andrew definitely has inner-personal issues and the popularity from his black belt world title and the daisy fresh UA-cam channel went to his head. Dude could be driving a porsche right now running his own gym but instead he let drama ruin his life. Happens to the best of us.
I missed peak competitive Andrew. Saddens me. I hear it was something special.
@@BJJBalance All I remember is he was famous for spamming knee slices to pass.
He doesn’t have a black belt world title. He won Pan’s which is legit but not world’s. He also counts his lower belt titles as world titles. He’s not the only won that does it tho. No hate. Just clarifying
one* not won
@@MMAVideography oh for sure... my mistake
Matt's Background is too bright......Dude blinds!!!!!!
We are working on a camera upgrade that we can mitigate that with.
Psychedellic therapy works and it works fast. Wish more people knew about it.
I completely agree
Mental health is so much more complicated than this comment and as someone with a wealth of experience in both domains a psychedelic experience in the middle of a psychotic break could become an unfixable situation.
I've seen many people in psych wards who tried to cure themselves with acid, molly, research chems etc.
Shrooms may be safe but it's ubiquitously difficult to get insurance to cover it in any state.
@@MultiAwesomered shrooms are not difficult to acquire for next to nothing.
@@MultiAwesomered When I say psychedellic therapy, I dont mean taking a 10 strip of LSD with the boys. I mean actual psychedellic therapy with legitimate professionals.
