It's May 2nd. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Samuel Monroe Jr., the actor who lit up 90s films like Minas 2 Society and set it off, is fighting for his life on life support right now. From severe meningitis complications. About 18 months back, he caught the infection while filming in Las Vegas, but doctors misdiagnosed it across several hospitals letting it go. Untreated for eight whole months. By the time they nailed the diagnosis, the meningitis had spread deep into his spine, and even his brain, turning a bad situation into a crisis. His mom, Joyce Patton, hit up Facebook with a heartfelt plea for prayers, posting a pick of him in the hospital bed and saying, God don't make mistakes. But needs our mercy for her son. His wife Shawna confirmed the details to complex, and the whole family wife, kids Kingston, Brooklyn, and Michaela, plus siblings are holding tight. They're asking everyone to keep Sam and their thoughts as he battles on.
Stay strong, family.
