This is why I get the inkling he might just be lying about that. He knows damn well that his a-logs aren’t going to have a lick of pity for him after that, only feeling emboldened, and his audience is already about as on his side as they can be so that also doesn’t really net him anything on his side by bringing that up. But then again, flesh isn’t really the greatest mastermind either, so frankly it could go either way.
EDIT: Also apparently he’s got like 300 replies on his post about breaking up so if you want to really get cynical you could say he did it for engagement bait, with amazing results
