Coming from someone who has a brother battling addiction, I think it was way too early in Danny’s journey for him to film this and speak on it. I still see the victim card and defensiveness being played and I dont think it warranted. you look around you and see that you’ve lost all these people that you thought were friends and then paint yourself the victim. When an addict is going through what they’re going through, they’re sick. The illness and sickness is extremely contagious to everyone around them. Every single family member/loved one gets sick. Maybe there might have been an underlying problem with these so called friends but I think that whole take from Danny was interesting to say the least and I like how the host called him on it. Also very easy to play the victim card when speaking on his wife moving cross province with their kids “she knew that would make it worst for me”. Okay but what about her? What about everything that you put her through? Just because you’re a functioning addict doesnt make you a great father or partner and it sure as hell doesnt make it not a problem. I really expected to watch this and feel relief in a way and be glad that Danny is on a road to recovery and bettering himself and dont get me wrong I still am… but mans has a long way to go and I genuinely hope he continues and is able to get there.
Entitlement.. I knew him b4 he was famous and he had it then but the problem is he has been able to shake it off especially after everything he's been through should hv been enough to convert him
Well Danny brother Shawn aka Shawn Desmond should of help him more
He is in such denial, continues to lie and play victim. He needs alot of encouragement in manning up. Once he forgives himself he can start healing.
Sending love to you Daniel and healing. May your life be filled with many blessings and a new path to music.🇨🇦🎶
he sure needs it. Sad what drugs do to people.
Daniel I wish you the best and I hope find peace and happiness in whatever u do keep ur head up and one day at a time. U got this
Addicts are everywhere. Our kids aren’t even safe anymore. Sick of them playing the sympathy card. Please do society a favour
God Bless you Daniel. Sending Prayers of healing to you ❤
Thanks for sharing Daniel , all the best !
It’s crazy how different him and his brother Shawn Desman are
Shawn has never done drugs.

Great Podcast! All the power to you Danny 💯!! Keep up that positivity bro!
Daniel, keep pushing on Bruther, 🤙🏽🇵🇹 all the best 👍🏽
The fact that anyone would believe he's sober is laughable lol
He has two beautiful daughters
Interview asking the dumbest questions wtf. Cheering you on Danny!!!!
Not really, Danny himself said this was good interview
This guy giving the interview is TERRIBLE
Damn he has dead eyes now. You can tell he’s seen some shit and died inside and lost his soul
Unfortunately it's been a rough situation for all involved.
he looks exactly like the man that threatened my dad
Interviewer is putting me to sleep
Does he talk to his family??
His family disowned him. He put them through so much, it’s unbelievable. He tarnished the family name.
@@gabrielashomestylecooking7687 you know absolutely nothing
Ummmm his family didnt disown him. Dont say things you dont know. Sound like an idiot to anyone that knows the family.
No, the whole family turned on him sadly. Fact.
I don't believe what this guy says
He’s such a liar .. he owes PLENTY of people money. Including me.
Did you sue him yet
How much does he owe you?
Oh piss off. People will say anything for attention and will listen to anything when they’re bored.
Right? Saying they spread lies and that these journalists never reached out for a comment yet CBC did and he replied in an email which is in the courts. He also promised fame to these aspiring artists, which is proven in text message screenshots. Saying his friends left without a reason, they had valid reasons. He’s a compulsive and pathological liar. I know enough women he’s dated and scammed how do you think he got his teeth? Loser
Why was my comment deleted? Lmfao
📠🙏🤍⭐️
Seriously! deleted my comment. Ok Unsubscribe. Said truth! Your fake man!
Shawn Desmond his brother these there stage names
Terrible interviewer, really crap questions.
Yup and not doing proper research. He lied so much, it’s pathetic.
This guys a failure
Typical Portuguese Chop. Verghonia Carilho
you can’t even spell in portuguese properly lol focus on learning Portuguese instead of hating
lol
Why the need to swear so much?
drugs do that to addicts. Common occurrence.
