LACY VISIBLY UPSET AFTER GIRL ACTUALLY HURTS HIS TORN ACL
Transcript
I need it. I need it. Please. Take me. Take me. Please. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need your wheelchair. Please, please. I can walk. I can walk. Please, please, please. Give me a wheelchair. Get out. Get out. The fuck is my life. I need it. Get out. Get the fuck out. This is crazy that they did that to Lacey. You have no idea that days after you tear Graciel, and he has other ligaments torn in his knee to get it pulled on, to put weight on it is insane. I really don't know why somebody would do this to him. And then I see people in the comments being like, oh, he's being a baby. No. He's not. I tier my ACL, and if, like, a day or two after it luckily, it's good now. I could I could you know, whatever. But a day or two after that, no. You can't be doing that, and he has surgery scheduled to him. I hope this didn't tear more ligaments in his knee. I hope he's okay. Disgraceful behavior, honestly.
