Fouseytube Renounces Islam: Blames Religion for his Inner Turmoil
Fousey has been famous for not just pranks, but bipolar social media usage, living out spurts of entertaining fans and then at-a-stretch going missing. Fousey is in the middle of struggling with this once more, but this time, has revealed more about himself than ever before: not just discontent with his life, but the realization that his recurring depression and inner conflicts are based upon apprehension instilled within him since he was a young child, through his religion that he was “the right one” before he was old enough to question it.
Fousey has deleted all his tweets, but before his abandonment of the 140 character social media site, he posted a 10+ page Twitlonger detailing the demons he’s been fighting within himself.
In the Twitlonger post (pastebin copy Here) he references a struggle with depression, a book he intends to write about his life, an unknown addiction he doesn’t disclose, his wishes to deal with issues within his family as transparently as they do on TV and most controversially, his acknowledgement that this fight between his double life was the fault of Islam.
The Twitlonger post details Fousey’s mental battle with raw emotion including; irrational attempts to scrub off a taboo tattoo in the shower, the pain of removing it for real and the realization that his true self liked it to begin with.
He rants about suicidal thoughts, but his simultaneous fear of death. This shit is Straight Up Hamlet Yo!
Fousey closes with concluding the heart of the problem, he did have to “kill [himself]. Or a version of [himself]” the part that still hung on to his Islamic faith:
Fousey:
My depression. My addiction. My sadness. My obsession with wanting to die. My inability to love. Was ALL because of the little boy who never knew how to live his own life making his own decisions and his own mistakes because of fear instilled in him from judgement brought on by a loving mother and her belief in religion. Until I accepted that I could no longer live as two people I would NEVER be able to be happy. I had to kill myself. Or a version of myself. I had to accept who I was. I had to stop seeing my decisions as sins and mistakes and seeing them as my TRUTH. I had to let my mother and father know who I am and what my life is going to be like and NOT what they wanted it to be for me. I had to be free. I had to liberate myself. And suddenly, I was.
Fousey explains he questioned the faith since he was young:
I wasn’t taught 12 religions and told to pick one that best fit my ideals in life. I was told what religion I was, told what to believe, told how to feel, told what to say, how to pray and told many many things that I mustn’t do for they will cause me to live in hell fire in my after life. GEEEEEEZ. 6 years old!? And told that if I don’t follow the right path I’m going to go to hell?! What an up bringing.
