![]() From what I understand, he received a copy of it about a week before it aired and he had commented to the Dark Side team that it was a profound episode. I guess (I was) honored that he would say something. It floored me! I was very happy about it. "I'm not on Twitter or any other form of social media except Facebook. "I think it is all kind of still settling in," Robin said. One of the big supporters of the documentary was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who promoted the episode after getting an advanced copy. ![]() But, if the world could be rid of something like that, it would be a better world." I don't know if doctors would call it an illness. So when I stopped and re-evaluated him as a human being, and I didn't spend a lot of time doing that either, I say that this is a person with a very bad problem. So the only way I could reconcile this was to disassociate him as my father. This is someone who is supposed to take care of you and make sure you're safe.

After they approached me, I said, 'well, let me think about it.' But, after we talked a little bit, the guys who created this and run that show, they're incredible! They're even more incredible than I thought in the beginning. I didn't want to just come out and do a so-called hit job on the family or our father, anything like that.
