The anti woke brigade here are relentless, fair play on putting your head above the parapet again, they’ll be patting each other on the back now for seeing through Bressie…,… again

He has the whole world fooled except 99% of TFK

I would have had him down as a bit of well meaning spoofer but this is a fairly strong accusation! You’re saying he’s more or less made the whole thing up why do you think that?

Ambrose_McNulty · June 21, 2020, 5:41pm

So predictable.

I recall an article from him stating that his first panic attack was backstage on The Voice TV Show. He contradicted himself later saying he was depressed in College and suffered from panic attacks. It spiralled on from there.

@TreatyStones don’t you have a dossier done on this creep?

Nothing predictable about the edgy circle jerk that happens every time this thread is bumped

Gas cunts

Ah Christ!

It’s all in the thread if you go back through it. @TreatyStones had a post which referenced actual interviews which he did where he said while he had panic attacks he never suffered from depression.

Then as his popularity in the area grew lo and behold he has a book about his battle with depression,

Ah yes, his imaginary friend Jeffrey. Imaginary indeed.

Arthur · June 21, 2020, 5:48pm

1300 posts im not reading through that I suppose it is an easy enough thing to make up as it’s so private and no one will question it. Hard to believe someone would be that much of a cunt but you never know.

myboyblue · June 21, 2020, 5:48pm

What are you doing even posting here if you haven’t done the research?!

TreatyStones:

Here’s a news story from 2013:

Bressie has opened up online about his mental health issues .

In a heartfelt blog post the singer admitted that he has struggled with General Anxiety Order.

*He says he first started showing symptoms a few years ago and nearly fell out of his chair when he was diagnosed. *

His first panic attack came while filming an episode of the Voice, apparently, which he says understandably wasn’t the ideal place for it.

The former gaelic football and rugby player say he was able to get a hold on the condition by taking up long-distance running.

*The 32 year old hopes that by opening up, he can encourage more people to seek help for mental health problems. *

He said he encourages anyone from the bottom of his heart to speak about it. Get it out there. The more people that do this the less stigma attached to the condition.

If people become cynical and negative towards you, he says they don’t deserve your friendship.

How does this stack up with the claims in the article?

Voice star Bressie has revealed being on the hit RTE show left him with crippling anxiety.

The 32-year-old singer said the fame that came with the success of the first series left him having palpitations.

He spoke out on RTE Radio One’s John Murray Show with hopes of encouraging others in the same situation to get help.

Bressie said: “It was relatively recently and I’m quite open about it. It’s something that for too long has been stigmatised in this country. People assume anxiety and stress are the same.

“But anxiety is all-consuming – it takes over your life and it doesn’t pick its victims. Often people will say, ‘But
everything is going well,’ but that doesn’t make a difference really.”

Bressie added he first felt the symptoms when he became the hottest new property in Ireland as a coach on The Voice.

He said: “For me it was when the show started I think. I started realising I had lost a bit of my anonymity and it just
came on.

“With anxiety there are massive issues with sleeping. You have palpitations in situations especially if you are doing live television.

“And I said to myself, ‘That’s the kind of person I am, I’ve got to learn to control it’.”

Bressie said it was getting back into physical exercise that helped him manage his condition as he had missed it since he gave up his rugby playing to make a go of his first band The Blizzards.

He said: “Other people don’t learn to control it and they take up the wrong way and go down the wrong route with it.

“But that was one of the main reasons I got into the triathlon training. I felt that was a really good thing because I missed that physical challenge I had when I played rugby.

“That’s a big void in my life so I started doing triathlons and it really helped. But then again once I came out and talked about it I started realising that everybody I know is going through this but they are hiding it.

“And I think it is ridiculous that you have to hide something like this.”

Bressie said that although he didn’t take medication, he had been considering it.

And even though he didn’t experience full on panic attacks he could never settle and relax.

He explained: “I went to the point where I was considering it but I figured I had to kind of manage it.

“ I didn’t get full on panic attacks – whereas I have friends who wouldn’t be able to breathe.

“I wouldn’t get that, I would just get palpitations.

“And I could never sit down and turn on the TV and watch it. I could never relax.

“People who would have known me before would realise that was not me at all.”

What’s edgy about highlighting hypocrisy?

Juhniallio · June 21, 2020, 11:38pm

I’ve a brother in law who played for the same team who confirms this story.

Tank · June 21, 2020, 11:43pm

If you think about how fake Brezzie is, he could easily be a nasty fucking deviant. Didn’t he ride Varadkar?

I’m glad he’s still renting because I don’t want that cunt owning a place where he could hide a body.

I keep seeing this ad on Twitter, I wonder if it’s from reading this thread. I won’t be tuning in anyway.

Iggy · July 2, 2020, 9:44pm

Sir Bressie of Mullingar coming up shortly on The Tonight show.

The_Most_Infamous · July 2, 2020, 10:01pm

He’s back living with his parents, no wonder he’s promoting his new podcast and mindfullness from their spareroom.

He musnt be in that game for the money after all.

Spidey · July 2, 2020, 10:03pm

I’d wonder is he doing any of the corporate shite over zoom. Berno’s company seem to be making waves there.
