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

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.

 

I don't think he lives payche k to paycheck. But to act like he isn't concerned about being paid is just naïve. If that was the case, he would have been far more outspoken than he was.

According to this article, Brian McDaniel hasn't worked for TMZ since 2016.

Actually, he left in 2014.  After the Michael Muhney tea spilt - though SON actually got the story first!!!

I love when people bring receipt's. Anywho my heart goes out to Kristoff. Looks like he might have a great lot of people supporting him and helping him get through this.

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.

 

AMEN.

 

This obviously is all be a part of grieving  he has been dealing with and not to mention he had a lawsuit out I remember on the place his son died in because they feel it was due to neglect. I can't disagree with him and his ex wife. I mean the son tried attempted and didn't succeed the 1st time and the 2nd time he did? How could they not have had him watched VERY closely after that?

 

 It's very hard to lose a loved one ESPECIALLY his child. Something so unnatural.

Thanks for posting that tweet. I hope KSJ is all right and is getting the help (and rest) he needs.

That was a beautiful message. I hope that he continues to get well and that he continues to get help.

Good for him.

That is good news. I hope he is truly in a better place.

KSJ made a few changes to his Twitter page. It's a good look.

 

To all my friends and fans. Thank you for all of your recent support and love. #family #YR #NewProfilePic pic.twitter.com/xTfp0jzTPa

I saw that. I'm so glad to see him look happy.

He looks terrific, and I just hope he is continuing to get professional help.

Holy hell that is horrible. I had no idea that he lost his son like that. Sending the best to him, I truly hope he is able to get the proper help and find peace.
