I'm not going to pretend to know what happened. I will say that what I have read and seen over the years on TO and the way he grew up, that he had a self esteem problem. Most people that crave that type of attention usually do. I read an article not too long ago that cronicled his life growing up. He was very poor, not many friends. Was made fun of a lot. The kids said he was ugly and even the black kids in the nieghborhood called him "purple" b/c he was darker complected. he lived w/ his grandma who I don't even think had lights in the house, I can't remember what it said, something about it being dark all the time. Anyway, he's talking to a girl one day, and a guy across the street tells him to stay away from her. He asks why b/c he likes her, and the man said it was his half sister. His whole time growing up and his father, who he never knew, was living across the street. I can't imagine what kind of childhood he had, but that is what usually makes us what we are today, personality wise.

My point is that he is the type that has to be re-asured that he is important and he is needed on a daily basis. He needs to know people care about him and that he is a great player. He really should seek thearapy, because I imagine he has a lot of inner demons that he needs to deal with. When you keep all that stuff inside and mask it with "T.O." and not Terrell, you are just percieved as an arrogant, self-centered diva.
