The LAD Bible apologises for body shaming Wentworth Miller

The LAD Bible is notorious for making fun of anyone and everyone but this time they took it a step too far when they posted a meme of actor Wentworth Miller.

The caption read, “When you break out of prison and find out about McDonald’s Monopoly.”

Miller who starred as Michael Schofield in Prison Break, posted a screenshot of The LAD Bible’s post with a very eye opening and heart breaking caption.

“Today I found myself the subject of an internet meme. Not for the first time.

“This one, however, stands out from the rest.

In 2010, semi-retired from acting, I was keeping a low-profile for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, I was suicidal.

This is a subject I’ve since written about, spoken about, shared about.

But at the time I suffered in silence. As so many do. The extent of my struggle is known to very, very few.

Ashamed and in pain, I considered myself damaged goods. And the voices in my head urged me down the path to self-destruction. Not for the first time.

I’ve struggled with depression since childhood. It’s a battle that’s cost me time, opportunities, relationships, and a thousand sleepless nights.

In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food. It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me through. There were stretches when the highlight of my week was a favourite meal and a new episode of TOP CHEF. Sometimes that was enough. Had to be.”

It just proves to show that unless you know the full story about something or someone, you should just keep your mouth shut. It’s such a shame that Miller had to be at the centre of this cruel internet act but we’re glad he had to courage to speak out about it.

The LAD Bible has posted an apology and hopefully they don’t make the same mistake again.
