Rylan's really grown on me over the years, after being distinctly unimpressed with his debut on the X Factor. We are all human and have flaws. We build up these people only to tear them down and if he is getting help for certain 'issues', then those 'issues' could be connected with the pressures of image, work and fame. The more esteem in which we hold someone, the further they fall when something goes wrong. Hoping he's able to take the time out that he needs, that he has support in getting himself together and comes back in a better position mentally.
If he has been hounded or blackmailed by the scummier elements of the Press into making his 'declaration' then, as always, I hope the tide starts to turn on this someday and the journos/ editors responsible are named and shamed (that is, if they are capable of shame). Good journalism shouldn't involve ripping people apart for the scandal/ 'woo' element; it's ok when there is genuine deception, hypocrisy and corruption (*cough* Matt Hancock *cough*) but sometimes things go wrong in life and relationships that are part of life's ups and downs. They don't really affect anyone other than those directly involved and, let's face it, much as we all (we-ll, those of us who'll admit it- why else are we here?!) love a bit of gossip, none of us would like the nitty-gritty of our relationships broadcast to the nation. I mean, some 'celebs might trade on that very thing (*cough* Katie Price *cough*) but that's a contract they usually enter into voluntarily, with eyes open.
Nice to see that most of the comments about Rylan, here, have shown concern for his well-being and that being the reason for speculation.
