[rickster53]

Here's the Page Six article that Howard mentioned on today's show. It confirms that Artie attempted suicide.

Artie Lange stabbed himself 9 times - NYPOST.com

SFN apparently had the scoop on this within hours of it happening.

Hey Now

The truth is sometimes difficult to take, ignoring it doesn't make it better or go away.

Denial fixes nothing.


My prayers go out to artie and his family.

 

[Biaviian]

Holy shit. He is more messed up than I had imagined. How can you stab yourself 9 times? He just needs to be put out of his misery.

However, it would have been better, IMO, if Howard wouldn't have said anything.

 

[Ehilbert1]

This is so sad. I hope he gets the help he so desperately needs.

 

[rickster53]

The one good thing that may come out of this is that Artie may finally get the professional help that he needs to turn his life around.

 

[robhurlburt]

hmmm....thats terrible if true, but honestly, stabbing yourself?

I miss him, I hope the time away from the show helps hime get his life back together.

 

[JKoffler44]

So I imagine it will take some time to recover from these injuries. So we probably won't see Artie for a long while...

 

[mrpacs]

We really shouldn't ever see him back on the show. I hope for Artie's sake we don't.

 

[limegrass69]

That's pretty sad. Hope he gets himself straightened out.
The Howard Stern Show is probably not the best place to be for a guy like that considering the shape he's in.

Very sad story all around. I hope Artie gets serious therapy and all that. Didn't he promise not to attempt suicide again after that first incident?

I don't think that suicide is one of those things you can promise not to do. If you have the thoughts/tendencies, those feelings probably never leave you. It's probably like an alcoholic or ex-smoker. You still want the drink/smoke, but you learn how to cope with those feelings.

This isn't attempted suicide. this is a cry for help. Its pretty easy to kill yourself if you really want to do it.

Agreed.
Stabbing yourself is a pretty gruesome way to try and off yourself.
Hope he gets the help he needs.

 

[Biaviian]

Exactly. Not to mention the hesitation stabs. If he really wanted to do it he wouldn't have hesitated.

 

[Chrissyb]

I can't even put it in words how sad I am about this. I'm just heartbroken..

 

[GoodDog]

We really shouldn't ever see him back on the show. I hope for Artie's sake we don't.

I agree, he is never coming back, for his own sake.

 

[JDP]

I feel for his mom and sister. I hope he can get the help to give himself peace.

 

[jef]

Messed up, for sure. Hope he gets his shit together and gets well someday.

 

[Vargas]

Wow. STabbing yourself to death. That is some super dark and painful stuff to deal with.

What dark, dark place would he have been in to get to that. Sleeping pills, wrist slitting are all bad but the ANGER he must have felt toward himself must have been extreme.

Unreal.
