I RARELY get to see TMZ, but I recall hearing him say something once and I thought, “Hm...sanity?”
One thing I noticed about Harvey Levin was that back when Brittney was having all of her “troubles” I caught an episode of TMZ, and he was showing genuine concern for her. And, IIRC they were the only show that was raising suspicions that her male friend was drugging her... The police and her family ended up investigating that and eventually getting her away from him. She “came around” a bit shortly after that...
Sure, they showed her picture, and talked about what was happening, but in a different way than the pure feeding frenzy of almost all the other media in the WORLD at the time... Made me realize there was perhaps something a bit different about him...
