Deon Derrico is setting the record straight about his mental health in the wake of his divorce from Karen Derrico . The Doubling Down With the Derricos star took to Instagram and posted a video from his mother GG's bedside at a hospital, where she was observed overnight from an undisclosed illness. After sharing that his mother is "doing very good," Deon continued with what he called "a public service announcement.
" "I have a PSA -- public service announcement -- I am doing mentally great," he said. "I really truly really am. It's not a cover-up.
It's not a facade. I'm doing very good. Just like all of us, I'm dealing with a lot.
I have a lot going on. A lot of you guys know what I have going on. But, no, I'm not suicidal.
" Deon said he felt compelled to clarify a recent post about the late Robin Williams. "When I shared the story on my Instagram about actor Robin Williams, it was because he was truly loved by millions but his sadness didn't allow him to move past those inner emotions!" Deon wrote in his lengthy caption. "So I shared that post to help any and everyone who's possibly dealing with somethings and it's causing grief in their lives! I'm not in ANYWAY SAD or depressed, I have never ever been suicidal!!!!" Deon's post comes just weeks after it was reported that Karen and Deon called it quits after they filed for divorce on June 4.
Just two days later, a judgment was rendered. Karen and Deon share 14 children, including 13 minor children. TMZ previously reported that.
