“The world is crazy right now,” he wrote in the Aug. 2 Instagram post. “And for all the good things social media has it also carries a toxic element! I have blocked over 100 people in the last few days. Humans are lashing out. And it saddens me! So I am going to take a little break!”
A few weeks later, he resurfaced with a post celebrating his two children from a previous relationship, who live in the U.K. He revealed that he’d traveled from Los Angeles to see them, even though it meant spending two weeks in quarantine once he arrived.
