Not even smart enough to lay off the Twitter account for any period of time.
Absolutely zero can be gained out of him continuing to talk, even if he is eager to be defending himself, and can only twist himself up further.

He’s very fortunate for a lot of things not going totally sideways with his actions off the ice, regardless of this just as crazy woman working through her things, so keeping your head down and spotlight off you as much as possible for another month or two won’t hurt.

There is also an important difference between a psychological evaluation and a psychiatric evaluation. A psychological evaluation is often ordered for wellness purposes if someone is showing signs of debilitating anxiety or depression. People with those afflictions may have trouble with parenting responsibilities but are not necessarily “crazy” as some people put it. It could also be based on a temporary situation beyond their control, like being abused. A psychiatric evaluation could still be ordered for a medical diagnosis at the recommendation of a psychologist to diagnose an illness if they have concerns.

Assuming people are crazy because they need psychological help to cope with a bad situation is precisely the stigma that prevents people from getting help and can cause tragic situations.

Any person of high/celebrity status that I've seen manage to repair their reputation issued some kind of apology or remorse for said behaviour then took an extended period of time out of the public eye, which allowed people to cool off and disengage emotionally from whatever it is they did. Then they came back some time later while making a better impression, with improved actions.

Don't know who Kane is getting his personal/professional advice from, but he's either being directed very poorly or he's taking no advice and just running with his reactions and poor instincts.

He's beyond the point of being able to defend himself. It's a losing battle, and no perfect combination of words will squeeze any kind of win out of this for him, especially on social media.

Give up, take your lumps, serve your time in the AHL, come back an improved person. Only road for him now.

I think you may have them mixed up. A psychological evaluation or assessment is more behavioral and is done with the intent of discovering behavioral issues. Psychologists will usually rely on tools to do their evaluation. A psychiatric evaluation is going to be more holistic and take into consideration cognitive development and medical histories, looking for underlying issues to better understand or explain any perceived behavioral issues. Histories (family, medical, and developmental) are the basis for these evaluations as are physical and cognitive testing. A psychiatrist (MD) will normally deal with people who have an illness such as anxiety or depression, as they can prescribe appropriate medications to counter the effects of such disorders. Psychologists can be trained to identify such disorders, but they are not trained in how to address such illnesses other than through counseling.

BTW, people with mental health issues are not "crazy." Using such terms only reinforces the stereotypes associated with mental health and drives those who suffer from such conditions further into themselves and away from proper treatment. There are people with serious mental health issues who are a lot more sane than some of the people out there who are considered "normal" but ascribe to some really off the borderline ideas (Qanon for example).

It's getting crazier now...

EDIT: If this is indeed Kane...

[Knightslayer]

Who recorded that? Seems like a weird video and I don't see him pointing at anyone.

Not that it excuses his behavior but I don't see what is described in the headline. He definitely has a gun but there is 0 context unless there is a longer video somewhere.

He pointed back at the camera briefly. I would guess she’s taking the video.

Or she's just trying harder.

Custody of her child is hanging in the balance. Makes sense she would pull out all the stops.

I'd be interested to see what the therapist has to say about her mental health.

I'm not trusting anyone that spells "psychopath" as two words

Ah ok just noticed that. Still wonder where he was going with the gun or why any sane person would be recording that. I would be scared for my life and wanting to diffuse the situation.

It actually looks like he is pointing at something outside as well.

Kane is just a lunatic can't imagine anyone giving him a chance. His career is over. He will probably go play in a league overseas and get paid under the table

Lots of times people video and say they are in an attempt to make the person stop what they’re doing (since there’s evidence and all).

[Knightslayer]

The fact that there is no sound I think speaks volumes.

Also poor children. They are the true victims in all this.

Something, something, birds of a feather flock together...

When it comes to scenarios such as these there is always a lot of room for nuance.

Its entirely possible that they're both batcrap insane. And then from there its a sliding scale from one end of the graph to the other.

Kane is focus of attention because as an athlete he is a public figure. But really, their marital issues are just angry people flinging feces at each other. This is nothing new.

From my standpoint as a fan, I dont care. What Kane does in his personal life is his own business, but its clearly affected his professional life and its affecting his kid.

Put him on the team that I cheer for and my position changes. And not for the better.

The only person I feel bad for is his kid. I hope there is family that can step in and remove that kid from what appears to be the emotional equivalent of a tornado hitting a septic facility.

Beyond that, if he wants to run his life like someone taking a swan dive into a pool of bovine excrement...thats his prerogative.

Well this seems fairly significant.

Still think Kane is a psycho that all teams need to stay far away from, but some interesting things coming to light that might make him just a tiny bit less evil than originally thought.

She was Violet?

[Knightslayer]

Is the video referred in that post the gun video? Or was there another video she posted that was from a photoshoot?

And it very well may be.

But it was released by Evander Kane's attorneys and they dont do anything without a purpose.

More feces being thrown.

These people are a familial Nuclear Meltdown.

[Jacks]

That's supposed to be from a professional photo shoot?
Doesn't look all that professional. Also, if that's the case you'd think he would release some pictures or video from said photo shoot to back up his version of the events. This keeps getting whackier.

[InternationalVillager]

The only place he needs to prove anything is in the court of law and it seems like he’s doing that. Nothing else should matter. He doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone else.

Haters just gonna keep hating. I hope all allegations regarding the accusations his ex-wife made are eventually proven to be completely fabricated. I hope that would teach a lot of people not to trash someone without even any evidence. Innocent until proven guilty. This society needs to get back to that.

Except for the vaccine stuff and the gambling stuff, and the other stuff listed in the thread...

Weird to see you (or anyone) defending this guy at this point. Not sure why?
