The episode lands during his bid for house arrest in a probation case.

Overview

  • He later told TMZ the remarks were intended as "dark humor" and argued that people today are "overly sensitive."
  • Clips circulated Nov. 10–11 drew widespread condemnation on X, with users labeling the comments cruel and disrespectful.
