Ryan Garcia is officially off social media, at least for now! Earlier today, news broke that Garcia’s X (formerly Twitter) account was terminated. However, before leaving social media, Garcia seemingly broke down during his final Instagram livestream, citing hurtful comments from fans regarding his controversial claims as the cause. 

The 24-1 boxer is about to enter the ring against Devin Haney on April 20 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. So, many had speculated that all of his social media activity during the past few weeks was to promote his fight. However, as time passed, things kept accelerating instead of slowing down and that has led to Garcia’s emotional breakdown today, which an X user shared on the platform.

After his livestream on Instagram ended earlier today, a user by the handle OutForTheCountTV shared a short clip from Garcia’s livestream. In the clip, Garcia is visibly overcome with emotion, shedding tears due to the recent events. Previously, he had made some outrageous claims about Bohemian Grove, Tupac Shakur, Antichrist, and aliens. 

So, when fans refused to believe his stories, Garcia suggested, “I just think it’s f**ked up, man… I am [trying to] shine [a] light on the darkness, and everybody thinks I am playing. Like, people saying like… bro, what the f**k is wrong with you.”

Addressing the predicament, Garcia stated, “I am [going to] sue NYC commission… [I asked them] ‘What [are] your premises for the mental evaluation?’ [They said] ‘your tweets and posts.’ So, [I said] ‘Is it not my US constitutional right to have free speech?’ Now, you [are trying to] mess with my constitutional rights. Now, I am [going to] sue you for the defamation of my character.”
