Rick Genest, a model who was known for his head-to-toe tattoos and for appearing in the music video for Lady Gaga’s 2011 song “Born This Way,” has died at 32.

Dulcedo Management, which represented him, confirmed his death on its Facebook page on Thursday but did not say where or precisely when he died. He lived in Montreal.

On her Twitter account, Lady Gaga said the cause was suicide, and that it was “beyond devastating.”

“We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it,” she wrote.

Self mutilation is evidence of deep mental problems.

The more incidents That I see like this the more that I realize that Satan has been given dominion over the Earth and that he is walking to and fro over it collecting souls faster than ever.

The Bible is right again.

Yup!

He controls everything from Wall Street to Main Street.
Satan rules this world from dawn to dusk and everything in between.

After observing what a mental health “professional” did to a family member, over the years, I am firmly convinced that a certain amount of them work to propagate illnesses, as it is extremely lucrative, at $100 or more per hour, to work on the problem.

Why would anyone in their right mind do that to themselves?
no earrings?

The devil is given room by God to work mischief. God still constrains it all. God can constrain even the unbelieving world to work good to believers. We wouldn’t have a bible command to pray for all rulers, not just the believing ones, if that wasn’t the case.

I’ve certainly seen some of them encourage sin.

There has to be an exception for women that wear earrings well. I have bought a lot of pretty earrings for my wife’s pretty ears. But the extreme piercings are repulsive for sure.

Exactly. It’s time for the pendulum to swing back.

Maybe the talk we should have about mental health is to tell these people, "your acting out is totally nuts. Get help." Instead we seem to be trying to "understand their whatever" and let them destroy themselves.

In AA these kind of people are known as "enablers".
