\u2014 Mauricio Sulaiman (@wbcmoro) July 4, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Per the Associated Press, Ryan posted then promptly deleted an apologetic tweet, which read, \u201cI was trolling I want all the killing to stop. I love everyone sorry if I offended you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s family also released a statement, citing his \u201cstruggle with mental health over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur family unequivocally does not support any statements [Ryan] has made regarding race or religion \u2014 these do not reflect who Ryan truly is and how he was raised,\u201d they reportedly explained in their statement. \u201cThose who know Ryan can attest to this fact. Ryan has been open about his ongoing struggle with mental health over the years and as a family we are committed to ensuring and encouraging that he receives the necessary help to navigate this very challenging time and address both his immediate and long-term well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
