Taking Steps Toward Recovery
In the fictional account, Justin announced he would be taking time away from public lifeânot to disappear, but to recover with intention. His plan included therapy, rest, journaling, hiking, time with family, and reconnecting with the parts of himself that existed long before the fame.

A Message of Hope

He smiled softly. âIâm going to be okay. And if youâre going through something tooâŠyouâre going to be okay, too.â
