“He was a sweet kid,” she added. “But he hurt. He was very, very much a loner and depressed. And I think his emotional instability was kind of brushed under the rug by his family.”
According to the mom, Crimo threatened to kill himself and attempted suicide a few times when he spent time with her children. That Crimo struggled with suicidal thoughts and self-harm as early as 2016 hasn’t previously been reported. Attorney George Gomez, who is representing Crimo’s parents, Robert Crimo Jr. and Denise Pesina, declined to comment about whether Crimo attempted or threatened suicide in 2016.
“My office is not aware of anything like that happening in 2016,” Gomez said, adding that his clients “did not follow” their son on social media. “They didn’t know about his raps.”
