Tv producer Jo Lurie details how Ricky Rick battled with depression. Twitter was in a frenzy yesterday about how Ricky Rick faced cyber bullying and committed suicide.

Jo Lurie told people that it has been years that Ricky has been battling with depression. She said she spent 6 months with him on set in 2017 and she witnessed his struggle with depression and the pressure of trying to be ‘Ricky Rick’.

Jo said she wrote about it but didn’t reveal his name at that time. She said Ricky was hiding in a corner during the lunch break. He needed to withdraw from people to salvage some energy to be able to do his job, Jo said.

She said it would take so much from him to pretend to be okay and he would take tiny breaks just to be alone and be real because the fakeness is overwhelming.

Jo said that if Ricky lost his battle to depression. It doesn’t mean that he didn’t have love. Or his wife did anything wrong. She said Ricky loved his family more than anything and if he could’ve stayed he would. 💔
