PHOTOS Boxer Adrien Broner Instagrams potential suicide, friends respond

Adrien Broner suicide posts

Troubled boxer Adrien Broner alarmed friends and fans earlier today when he announced on social media that he planned to take his own life at 3PM this afternoon. In addition to a series of farewell messages, Adrien also posted a photo of the gun that he planned to use.

Thankfully, it appears that Adrien did not follow through on his plans to kill himself as TMZ reports he is taking calls from friends. “They’re confident he’s safe and in a better place now,” TMZ says of Adrien’s friends in a rather unfortunate choice of words.

Adrien’s fiancee Arienne Gazaway (aka Arie Nicole) also shared a positive update with this Snapchat photo that simply reads “Adrien is okay!”
