Ray J made some serious waves on social media this week, calling out Pastor Jamal Bryant with a bold message about a video the pastor was apparently planning to release. The R&B singer and reality TV star didn’t hold back, warning Bryant not to air the footage, implying there were some serious stakes involved.
Ray J’s response seems to be more than just a public plea; it’s clear there’s some tension brewing between the two men, and the stakes of whatever’s on that video are high. Social media definitely took notice as Ray J made it clear that he wasn't going to let things slide quietly.
It’s a situation to keep an eye on, especially with both figures being in the public eye for very different reasons—Ray J for his career in entertainment and Pastor Bryant for his leadership in the church. Whatever happens next, this is sure to be a story that keeps unfolding.
Ray J opened up on a recent podcast about a deeply personal experience that took place on a rooftop in Mexico. He recalled lying on the roof for two and a half hours, in a moment of reflection where he found himself wrestling with some dark thoughts. He admitted that, at the time, he was lying about aspects of his life to the world and grappling with the weight of his own struggles, even contemplating death.
The rawness of Ray J’s confession gives insight into the pressures he’s faced behind the scenes, beyond his public persona. It also shows a side of him that many might not expect—someone who's dealt with moments of deep self-doubt and pain. This vulnerable moment serves as a reminder that even those who seem to be living large in the public eye are still human, with real emotional battles to fight.
His story of being at a low point is a powerful reminder that seeking help, confronting personal demons, and finding support are crucial parts of healing. It’s also an important conversation about mental health, especially for those who feel like they have to maintain a perfect image to the world.
