Debbie Gibson expressed her support for her friend Carrot Top after the comedian was hospitalized following an alleged suicide attempt. On her Instagram on September 20, she wrote: «Sometimes it’s those who make us laugh the most who are suffering the most. Sending love to you, Scott 🧡@carrottoplive».
Gibson noted that she hadn’t heard from Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, for longer than usual and decided to reach out to him just two days prior. She assumed he would respond to her message as he usually does after the weekend, so she didn’t think much of not receiving an immediate reply.
Carrot Top, who is 61 years old, was hospitalized in Las Vegas on September 18, resulting in the cancellation of his comedy shows on Friday and Saturday. The comedian’s representative, Jami Schlicher, confirmed his hospitalization, stating that «Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and receiving the necessary care and support». His family and close friends expressed gratitude for the care and prayers, asking for privacy.
Although further details have not been released, friends of Carrot Top, including Gibson, have voiced their support. She urged people to check in on their friends, especially those who give a lot to others. Gibson also emphasized the importance of mental health, noting that she herself uses various treatment methods, including medication when necessary. She added: «Life is full of layers that no one sees. There is no stigma in putting your mental and emotional well-being first».
