Conor Maynard has broken his social media silence to ask his fans for help. The 32-year-old singer, who had been absent from Instagram for six weeks, took to his Stories to ask his three million followers about Diazepam.
He wrote: “Has anyone on here ever been prescribed Diazepam, but their anxiety is so bad that they’re literally too anxious to actually take it?”
He added: “Please reach out if you’ve ever been in this position. Can’t believe I’m posting this, but at this point, I’m not sure what else to do.” He also apologised for his recent silence, saying: “Sorry I haven’t posted anything in over a month. This post kinda alludes to why.”
Diazepam is a prescription-only drug typically used to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, seizures, and the effects of drug and alcohol withdrawal.
Conor’s plea comes after Charlotte Chilton, star of The Traitors and alleged mother of his child, claimed he had ghosted her on social media and is not involved with their baby, reports the Mirror. Despite a challenging pregnancy and stressful initial weeks, Charlotte opened up in an exclusive chat with OK!
She confessed at the time: “I hated being pregnant. I loved the baby inside me, but everything else was s**t. I remember thinking, ‘This is vile. Women lie to women and say it’s magical. There’s nothing magical about this.’
“I was really, really negative, but I did have SPD [Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction], which causes severe pelvic pain during pregnancy], gestational diabetes, I had an allergy to my hormones. I had everything, so I was constantly in and out of the hospital. I couldn’t do much for myself. I had to stop working for the last three months. And I didn’t have a baby daddy there to help. It was really hard.”
Discussing Conor’s involvement – or apparent lack of – she added: “I had real torment over whether to contact him when she was here or not. And I figured I don’t want to speak to him, but he has a right to know.
“I knew if I didn’t reach out people would say I hadn’t bothered. But if I did contact him, it’d look like I’m hassling him. I thought the best thing to do would be to contact his representatives.
“And that’s what we did. I said, ‘Look, she’s here.’ He has a right to know.”
