Howard Stern Speaks on Artie Lange Suicide Attempt! –SHABOOTY EXCLUSIVE: Artie Had Broken Up With Girlfriend!

Howard Stern Breaks Silence on Artie Lange Suicide Attempt (Stabbing)! –SHABOOTY EXCLUSIVE: Artie Had Broken Up With Girlfriend Before Suicide Attempt!

When I asked one of my sources in Artie’s camp if they think that perhaps Artie and his girlfriend broke up, (my hypothesis behind what lead to these near-tragic events), I was told, “I thought everyone knew they broke up!”

Damn. I know a break up will get a guy down more than anything. To have a hot 20-something year old girlfriend, then she bails on you… with Artie’s drug past, past suicide attempt, and constant thoughts of his father, it’s a crazy cocktail of tragedy waiting to happen.

Sad all over place emotionally about this – pissed off story got out. Dunno what to say about story. Because it’s such a mind-boggling thing that has happened 38 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Howard doesn’t want to exacerbate the situation – dunno what to do or what to say 38 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Everyone’s (the press) is gonna be commenting, Page Six – Howard begins to reads ARTICLE… (go to shabooty.com homepage to read it). Howard feels sick about it…can’t get passed the first sentence of the article, and stops reading! Never actually reads the article. 35 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Artie’s demons run deeper than Howard ever knew. Stern Fan Network were bad mouthing Artie – this made Howard sick, because he knew what was going on with Artie 34 minutes ago from TweetDeck

This made him sick… you could have a riot [reminiscing] with all of the great things Artie has been apart of on the show. Reason Howard hired him is because he tell stories in charming way. Howard tells story about the first time Artie was on the show with Norm MacDonald 34 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Telling story: With Jackie Martling gone, Howard kept thinking of Artie. When Artie sat in the chair, he didn’t think he had to be “on” all the time. Would chime in instinctively, not to rain on established chemistry of the show 32 minutes ago from TweetDeck

He fit himself into the show. contributed when he had something funny to say. Fits in. Jimmy Kimmel was only other guy that Howard considered in chair (to replace Jackie). 31 minutes ago from TweetDeck

It’s trying with Artie’s rough times, to maintain. Howard repeats he has a great affection for him. He had real problems. Howard wishes Artie well – Howard hasn’t spoken with him, yet on the phone. 29 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Robin has spoken to him, Tim Sabean has spoken to him – not at point to talk to Howard. Doesn’t know what’s gonna be – pretty upsetting. It’s too much to bare. 28 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Howard says, my thoughts go out to his mother and sister, who are in great pain. That’s mind blowing… he’s upset and been down about it. He didn’t wanna spread gossip 28 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Howard deals with Artie in private conversations –directly. Guys gotta do what he wants to do. Howard can only help and be supportive and be there for him.

Howard feels weird to be the one spreading the news. Whole thing is a mess. Howard takes phone calls. 25 minutes ago from TweetDeck

Reading the news story is so painful and mind-blowing to Howard. When you’re a family – you dunno what to say. 24 minutes ago from TweetDeck
