We all know LaKeith Stanfield to be a bit eclectic (which we love about him), but after he posted a series of alarming photos and videos on Instagram, fans became worried about his wellbeing.
The posts that raised red flags featured a now-deleted video of Stanfield filling a pill bottle for beta-blockers with alcohol and the caption “bottoms up.”
Stanfield also posted comments such as, “I like to be by myself because I can hurt myself and no one tells me to stop or fakes like they care,” and another that read, “Reality is boring and moves too slow and no one is trustworthy.”
