Nick Cannon revealed he was clinically diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) earlier this month, and he’s now opening up about how he’s navigating life with the diagnosis.
Talking to People while serving meals at the Los Angeles Mission’s Thanksgiving celebration on Wednesday (November 27), Nick got candid about how he’s seeking help and getting better educated on NPD.
“I still don’t understand it all the way, but I kind of always wanted to get tested for it. I did a bunch of tests,” he said. “I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. Even as a kid it was dyslexia, but just knowing that I’m just a neurodivergent individual, I kind of always knew.”
He continued: “I feel like there’s so many labels out there, but it’s like, to be able to embrace it and say, ‘Look, I’m healing. I need help. Show me.’ I just embrace mental health and therapy in such a strong way. To be able to say I’m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.”
Earlier this year, Nick and one of his partners, radio personality Abby De La Rosa, revealed their son Zillion had been diagnosed with autism – which also falls under the umbrella of neurodivergence like his father.
In a joint Instagram post in April, the couple shared: “Today our family recognizes World Autism Awareness Day which is beyond meaningful to us because our amazing 2 year old, Zillion, was recently diagnosed with ASD.”
The proud parents then listed a number of influential figures who were also on the spectrum, before adding: “Our beautiful boy experiences life in 4D and teaches us something new everyday!”
“His love, strength and brilliance light up every room he enters! We are blessed that God had placed such an amazing spirit under our guardianship and we have accepted this assignment wholeheartedly!” the sweet message continued.
“On this World Autism Awareness Day, we extend our embrace to families worldwide, acknowledging shared challenges and championing understanding. Together, let’s create a world of acceptance and compassion,” the message concludes, extending their support to families navigating autism.”
The post was accompanied by a series of adorable videos of the family’s Easter festivities.
And on this day 47 years ago the biggest culture vulture, liar, fraud, harassing, mentaIIy unstable, psycho peon unfortunately was born. I welcome all 19 of you to the online funeral of Bernadett Rosalia Giac0mazzo. Ahhhhh where do we begin? Lets start off when the insane, idiotic imbecil MuthaFarker/Scarfy’s Mom (amongst NUMEROUS other corny, obvious pseudonyms on here, X and LSA) but as we all already well know for years now better known as the cringy, unemployed, fraudulent, non-credible, psychotic, mentality ill basketcase of all basketcases Bernadett “I look just like Michael Rapaport with a horrible azz wig on” Giac0mazzo had a restraining order filed against her by Jonathan Scott of Property Brothers HGTV fame for hysterically convincing her delusional, psychotic self that he was her imaginary soulmate. One quick google search of her name will quickly show you that could NEVER ever be the case 😭😭. We will get into her other imaginary soulmate Sam Heughan of the drama series Outlander fame in part 2 of her online funeral. Or what about that time she got absolutely lit up by the legend Method Man of Wu Tang Clan fame for the false and irresponsible reporting of him. Now it wasn’t the first time this wannabe, barren old ass useIess hag Bernadett got exposed for erroneous, irresponsible reporting and unfortunately it won’t be her last time either. She’s spent her whole pitiful and delusional life laughably convincing herself and failing to convince anyone else that she’s this big time wrlter, big time photographer, big time publicist, blah, blah, blah with celebrity connections. SHE ISN’T ANY OF THOSE THINGS AND NEVER HAS BEEN! The REALITY is she’s a 47 year old broke as a joke freelancing NOTHING burger who still lives with and off her mommy who EVERYONE reports, shits on and laughs at on a daily basis. Don’t believe me? Just ask the LipStickAlley community, the Outlander Kingdom on X, the Bridgerton Brigade on X, Britney R, Amy W, Jenna Jameson, Stephanie J, Miss Melly F, Kimmy The Flutist, Laurie Ann, The Hollands, Natalie as well as the entire country of England (who ALL got multiple accounts of Bernie’s suspended on X including but not limited to her BRGiac0mazzo, berngiacomazz0, gforce_bg, bg_writes_stuff, BGWritesStuff, etc) who totally obliterate her delusional dumb azz every single day for her truly bizarre and psychotic obsession with the ROYAL family of England which just like Black culture, Italian culture, Hip Hop culture, Music culture, etc.she knows absolutely NOTHING about. If you’re keeping count of her record against us it’s US: ALL WINS N0 LOSSES BARREN BERNIE: NO WINS ALL LOSSES. Furthermore, Bernadett Giac0mazzo has been FIRED COUNTLESS TIMES from numerous albeit extremely low budget companies for various violations including but not limited to blatant lying, cyber stalking/bullying/harrassment, making downright false accusations and making violent online threats against many individuals including myself whom she said she would make “disappear”. Funny thing is I’m still right here though and I’m delivering her online eulogy 😭Bernadett Giac0mazzo has also justifiably been suspended from the X platform MORE THAN 5 TIMES already for the extremely erroneous, heavily harassing, ignorantly insane, derogatory vicious vitriol and very RACIST rhetoric she stupldly spews on there and other platforms everyday of her unemployed, unproductive, imaginary friends and imaginary soulmate existence. She has no money, no real employment, no credentials, no life, no hope, no credibility, no friends, no kids and no significant other because no human or animal will claim her fugly, huge schnoz having, masculine heavy jawline having, Michael Rapaport with a horrible asf wig on having azz even at midnight in the pitch dark. In conclusion, Bernadett Rosalia (the R. in her middle name should really stand for Racist as she has used a few racist, derogatory terms against many people including myself) Giac0mazzo is and will always be a completely valueless, useIess cancer and poison to all of humanity. AND ALL OF THIS IS ONLY PART 1 OF BERNIE’S BURIAL. STAY TUNED FOR PART 2 COMING VERY SOON. Oh yea btw HAPPY 47TH BIRTHDAY BIG NOSE BERN! ENJOY! 🥳🎂🎈🎁
I wonder if Nick showed up to Bernadette’s party 🤔
Somebody get this retard a hooker.
@hmmmm…..Of course he did! Nutjob Nick is a certified mentally unstable cuckoo just like Bernadett is and cuckoos recognize cuckoos. Best believe ALL of Bernie’s imaginary celebrity friends were packed tightly into Bernie’s mom’s garage to commemorate the occasion. They wouldn’t miss Barren Bern’s 47th bday bash for the world. 50 Cent even sang “Go Shawty It’s Ya Birthday” to Bern which was the second biggest highlight of her super pitiful life. The first highlight of course being her 2.5 nanosecond cameo in 50 Cent’s OJ video two decades ago.
*Farts recklessly*
New joke loser
Bro, you voluntarily made your username “Gay” and I’m the loser?😂😂😂
To own up to NPD and seek treatment for it without a court mandate is a big deal. Bravo, Nick.
laaaame.
Gotta respect him for this.
what happens if the kid doesn’t want the whole damn world to know he got autism though!? Can he sue these selfish motherfvckerz when he grows up for destroying his image?😠
All these conditions didnt exist 20 years ago honestly people have gotten way too sensitive and if you curse too much or laugh too much, theres probally a label for it. We are living in sad times. It might be time to bring back bullying.
Just because people didn’t know something existed doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
