One of the most famous black actors on the longest-running soap opera on TV, The Young and the Restless, has reportedly threatened suicide.
Kristoff St. John, 51, was hospitalized and placed under psychiatric evaluation after allegedly threatening to kill himself with a gun, according to TMZ.
A friend of the Emmy-winning actor called police and told them that St. John had sent her photos of himself holding a gun to his head.
When police arrived, they confiscated two guns and placed St. John under a 72-hour hold.
The three-year anniversary of St. John’s son Julian’s suicide is Nov. 23.
