Boxer Ryan Garcia has taken to social media to draw comparisons between himself, Britney Spears, and Donald Trump following his recent arrest for felony vandalism at a Beverly Hills hotel. The incident, which occurred at the Waldorf Astoria, resulted in approximately $15,000 worth of damage.
Garcia, who was arrested on Saturday, was subsequently taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a medical evaluation. He has since been released on bail. In a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, Garcia expressed his feelings about the situation, likening his experience to those of Spears and Trump.
“I feel like I’m Ryan Spears Aka Britney Spears,” Garcia wrote in one post. “This sucks. I never hurt anyone. I’ve only ever loved everyone, prayed for people, and tried to make a change in this cruel world. I love you Christ Jesus Amen.”
In another post, he mentioned Trump, saying, “Kinda funny both Trump and I are in jail. I don’t know if he is in jail but I know he got convicted. This sucks, But I love Jesus I will be okay.”
Garcia’s attorney, Darin T. Chavez, issued a statement highlighting the boxer’s current struggles, including mental health issues and family problems. “This comes at an extraordinarily challenging time for Ryan, as he has been grappling with devastating news regarding his mother’s health,” Chavez said. “Ryan has been open about his struggles with mental health over the years, and at this time he is dealing with an immense emotional burden.”
Chavez urged the public to respect Garcia’s privacy and emphasized the importance of support and understanding from fans. “The support and understanding from fans and the public are crucial as he navigates these personal challenges. We are working diligently to provide Ryan with the resources he needs. Our team is committed to ensuring that he receives the appropriate help and care to address both his immediate and long-term well-being.”
Garcia’s arrest is the latest in a series of troubling events for the 25-year-old boxer. Earlier this year, he defeated Devin Haney in a major upset, but his victory was overshadowed by a positive test for the banned substance ostarine. The New York Athletic Commission is currently reviewing the case, and Garcia’s win could be overturned.
In addition to his legal and professional troubles, Garcia has been dealing with personal issues. He recently announced that his mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer, adding to the emotional strain he is experiencing.
TMZ reported that Garcia appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of his arrest but cooperated with authorities. The publication also noted that Garcia had been subject to a welfare check by police at the same hotel earlier in the week after a concerned family member called for assistance.
Garcia’s erratic behavior has raised concerns about his mental health. In the lead-up to his fight with Haney, he posted a series of disturbing messages online, including claims of being raped and tied up in the woods by “the elites.” He also alleged that his throat had been slit.
Despite his victory over Haney, Garcia’s conduct has led many to question whether he is mentally stable enough to continue fighting. His positive test for ostarine further complicates his situation, as his team insists that the results are due to supplement contamination.
Garcia’s comparison to Britney Spears and Donald Trump highlights the intense media scrutiny he is under. Spears, who suffered a severe mental breakdown and was placed under a conservatorship, has been a symbol of the pressures faced by public figures. Trump, on the other hand, has been embroiled in legal battles and controversies, maintaining his innocence while facing numerous charges.
As Garcia navigates these challenging times, his fans and the public are left to wonder what the future holds for the troubled boxer. His social media posts reveal a man struggling with immense pressure and seeking solace in his faith.
For now, Garcia’s focus remains on his family and his health. His attorney’s statement underscores the importance of compassion and support as he works through his personal and professional challenges. Whether he can overcome these obstacles and return to the ring remains to be seen.
