Young and The Restless' star Kristoff St. John was hospitalized and placed under psychiatric evaluation after allegedly threatening to kill himself with a gun.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Kristoff's ex-wife, Mia, called cops Thursday evening and told them Kristoff had been sending her photos showing the soap star holding a gun to his head. 

When cops arrived, they confiscated 2 guns and placed Kristoff under a 72-hour hold for mental evaluation. Sources close to Kristoff tell us the 2-year anniversary of his son Julian's suicide is fast approaching -- November 23 -- and that had him very, very upset.

Kristoff's ex set up the "El Saber es Poder" ("Knowledge is Power") Foundation to battle mental illness following Julian's death

Personally, even though what happened with KSJ is scary and frightening, I don't think he is certifiable.

 

Me neither.  I think KSJ is like every parent out there who struggles with losing their child, especially when that child died by his own hand.  As I've said before, I feel that's the kind of inner, emotional pain that never goes away; and while many parents eventually find a way to cope, others, unfortunately, do not.

 

I can't begin to understand why anyone working at the network or at SONY would want to leak this information to the media.  If they did, though, then there's a special place in Hell just for them.

TMZ is like a more aggressive version of the Enquirer.  

I once saw a documentary on this history of the National Enquirer (if you ever get a chance...it's a doozy) and what the Enquirer was known for doing was to utilize a form of blackmail against the subjects of their stories.

They would contact the subject of the article and say something like "either you let us interview (or get quotes from) you or we will publish our version of the story, as is.

Some submitted to the demands, some refused.

 

That's one reason why I love Carol Burnett.  Besides being one of the best comediennes ever to grace the small and big screens, she was also one of the first celebrities to stand up to the tabloids, taking the National Enquirer to court after they had printed an item about her being drunk at some Washington, D.C. restaurant.  The story was false, and potentially career-damaging.  However, not only did Carol win her suit against the rag, which forced them to retract, but she and her then-husband, Joe Hamilton, also donated the settlement to charity.

Sometimes it is not as black and white as learning to cope/unable to cope. Sometimes it just takes time. It has not even been three years since his son's death. It's been even less time since they uncovered the truth about the mental facility where his son took his own life.

 

Added to this, I think KSJ has found himself alone, without a wife/GF to be a support in his life, and maybe not seeing his kids every day. It's tough to be alone, struggling with sh*t like this.

 

I don't know why CBS/Sony would leak, IF they did leak. It's so cruel, especially as KSJ has been a Y&R/Angelica cheerleader for years. I don't even understand why they would feel the need to leak. To cover their asses? For what? This is a family matter and it doesn't involve CBS/Sony as a workplace or otherwise.

Blackballed?  Who's beating down his door?  Does YR value KSJ?  No!  He'd make more money suing because they can't fire or change his status while he's out sick.  And if they change it when he returns, it might look suspect.  

 

At this point, I think he'd have options on other soaps. GH and Y&R get kicks out of one upping each other. 

The only reason why we are asking about Angelica is because Jonnysbro is spewing his latest conspiracy theory

Stop being obtuse. 

KSJ does other projects outside of Y&R. He has a Christmas movie that will be on ION this December alongside Vivica A Fox. I'm sure he has more than enough money saved that he doesn't need to be dependant on Y&R for income.

KSJ has always made it plain that he had mouths to feed. 

Very sad. 

He always seemed to me like sweet guy.

Only two mouths since one of his daughter's is grown and he has more than enough money to feed those mouths. He's not living paycheck to paycheck.

He's not destitute but he's not on the same level as his peers.
