WHETHER OR NOT THAT REPRENTS MY PERSONHOOD -- WHICH ABSOLUTELY DON'T -- THE GAME, THAT'S THE PLAYER I WAS. IT JOSTLED THOSE PEOPLE. IT GOT STUCK THEIR HEADS. JEMMYE, KNIGHT, PRTON -- THOSE PEOPLE, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO ADM , THEY WERE TIMIDATED BY THAT. THEY HAD AN IA ABOUT ME AND WHO I AM, AND WHILE WASN'T NECSARILY A PERSONAL ATTACK BEE [THEIR JUDGMENTS] WERE NEVER REALLY BROUGHT TO LIFE AND THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE I'D ASSOCIATE WH REAL LIFE, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT ME BEG A SH*THEAD.

THERE WAS A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE, NEW KIDS, WHO'D S ONE ROOM ALL DAY, TALK SH*T, AND THAT'D BE THEIR ENTIRE DAY. NOT MY SCENE. I N'T REALLY SPEAK WELL OF THEM. DO I THK PRTON SAID PERSONAL THGS ABOUT ME? Y, ABSOLUTELY. DO I THK PRTON ST SHA ON ME? ABSOLUTELY. DO I REALLY RE? NO, HE LOOKS LIKE A Q-TIP.

IN THE TIME WE WERE IENDS -- AND I DO BELIEVE WE WERE GENUE IENDS -- I KNEW A LOT ABOUT HIM, AND HE KNOW A LOT ABOUT ME. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT HIS FAY AND THGS HE WAS GOG THROUGH WH HIS FAY PRR TO GOG TO RIVALS II. I DON'T THK THE SHOW DID HIM JTICE WH WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOG ON BACK AT HOME WH HIM.

I FEEL LIKE FOR ONCE MY LIFE, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A HAND . IT WASN'T MY CHOICE TO SAY, "F*CK YOU, ZACH." IT WAS MORE OF A "FRANK, F*CK YOU." THERE ARE A LOT OF THGS THEY DIDN'T SHOW ON THE SHOW BEFORE HAPPENED. THERE WERE PEOPLE SAYG HORRIBLE THGS ABOUT ME, LIKE, HOMOPHOBIC THGS, AND HE KD OF PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE TO THEM.
