Lee Thompson has dispelled concerns for his wellbeing with a return to social media, hinting at a tell-all about his time on the streets.
YOU Magazine previously reported that Lee, star of the first season of The Bachelor SA, was allegedly homeless and undergoing rehabilitation for the second time in August.
Lee had allegedly been living at a R300 a night guest house for two months earlier this year and was described as an alleged tenant from “hell” who often left his room unkempt and messy.
While his timeline has been flooded with people expressing concern, Lee took to his Instagram timeline in good spirits, posting an image of himself and his new puppy.
“Spending some quality time with my new baby,” he captioned his post.
In another post he revealed his upcoming book, The Truth Behind The Rose, would set the record straight on the recent reports.
“From traumatic periods in my childhood, to schooling and professional rugby successes. To my international modelling and business successes, to my prior romantic relationships and experience on The Bachelor SA.
“To struggling with fame and media disinformation, to mental health issues and alcohol and drug addiction. To losing everything and suicide attempts, to becoming homeless and living on the streets.
“To my rehabilitation and recovery, to renewing my relationship with God and fighting my way back to the top. It will be worth the wait.” he said, thanking those who had loved and supported him “through thick and thin”.
