Darrell Sheets, the late star of A&E’s Storage Wars, was bullied online before his death at age 67.
“Unfortunately, Darrell Sheets took his own life,” former co-star Rene Nezhoda said in a video shared with TMZ on Wednesday, April 22.
“He had a guy really tormenting him lately on cyber-bullying,” Nezhoda explained, hoping the loss of Sheets will bring a positive impact. “Just because you watch us on television doesn’t mean you know us. It doesn’t mean you know what we’re about. Also, it doesn’t entitle you to bully somebody.”
One month before his death, posts made on Sheets’ public Facebook page explained that he was being bullied online.
“Well people here is my cyber bully stalker,” he wrote in a March 11 Facebook post. He explained that the man had been “going after other small businesses in town and harassing them using my name.”
Sheets claimed to have been hacked, adding, “I’m extremely sorry and sick over this ,these people have ruined me and he said he would.”
The beloved reality star tragically took his own life on Wednesday, April 22, at his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
