Celebs who are in a somewhat fragile (or flat) emotional condition going into it and ending up distressed.

Bear and Co I'm sure have made it far worse and perhaps been a catalyst in him being more and more down, but if you look at his career this has been going on for a couple of years. Ridiculous to claim that it's been "caused by" the house.

Yes, you make some really good points here, actually. Given what has happened in his career, you are right, and he might well have been in the wrong head space when he went into the house, and the situation there has then made it worse.
