During an appearance on Good Morning America in early March, James spoke about his breakup with Kirkconnell after learning that she attended an "Old South"-themed party on a plantation in 2018. "That's the frustrating part about the position that I'm in ... having to explain not only to Rachael but to the rest of America why things like that are problematic because we don't have that chance to have that ignorance," Matt said (via Us Weekly). "Think about Breonna Taylor, think about Tamir Rice, they didn't have that opportunity to have ignorance."
Following this high-profile drama, James' other activity on social media had some worried about how he was doing. On March 16, James tweeted "Google therapist near me," which sparked concern from his friends and fans. However, during an interview with Rachel Lindsay and Van Lathan on the Higher Learning podcast, James' brother, John James, told the hosts that his brother was fine. "I called him for that very same reason just to see where his head was at," John said (via Fox News). "He's in a good spot. He's good. People don't need to worry about Matt. It's kind of like he's going through a detox phase, of all the stuff that he was dealing with ABC and being in the spotlight and doing interviews."
Perhaps the social media detox is just what the doctor ordered.
