On April 27th, Jeff Timmons from 98 degrees just dropped some heavy truths about the dark side of boy band fame. Back in the day, he faced insane pressure from constant touring and rabbit fans, pushing him to suicidal thoughts where he felt totally worthless and ready to end it all. One wild incident stuck with him. A creepy fan spotted him on the road with his young daughter, recognized him and tried to snatch her right out of. His arms in some bizarre meltdown. Timmons said it wasn't just the guy that scared him, but how unpredictable fans could get. He hit rock bottom, but pushed through by begging his manager for help, straight up saying he'd be gone without it. Bam made Nick Lache, now 52, backs that up, explaining how back then you couldn't skip shows for mental health. No Bieber or Sean Mendez style. Tour cancellations. Lache painted the picture, you perform, then break down in private, punching walls or crying, but never let off the gas after grinding so hard to make it.

Catch all this in the new docuseries, boy band confidential, deep cuts, premiering Monday, April 27th at 11 p.m. Eastern Pacific time on, ID, streaming on HBO Max. If you're struggling, hit up 988 anytime. That's your update from entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
