In a short video clip, Emtee seemed intoxicated.
Below is the video:
Nope! I believe Emtee! Why is the audio off? Maybe the wife is saying hurtful things in this video. Maybe chap turned to substances because of the abuse from his wife. Don't downplay his abuse. Man get abused as well by their partners! https://t.co/QwA2uuRtFb
