Okay first of all, that panel is meant to provoke and entice people to the edge of whatever their extreme side can be; we all have it, but it's not always brought out like that.

The doctor, not having diagnosed Gary Coleman, says he needs medication. His credibility is out the window already.

Then someone says Gary was probably going to hit the woman had he not left. That's not good reporting or journalism or fairness.

On the other side, I personally believe Gary Coleman does have anger issues, and they run deep. This is all conjecture, but stick with me. I think his anger is partly from his parents fucking him over. But let's also give him credit in that he's 40 something, and that was 30 years ago. It might still be deep seeded in him, but who knows.

I also think some of his anger is in the fact that he's so attached, by fans and the media, to the Arnold Jackson character, that he now resents the whole thing. Example: During season two of VH1's The Surreal Life, the cast goes to work at a retro diner, which is under Coleman's management (not sure if he owns it or not). Robert VanWinkle (aka Vanilla Ice) was a cast member on the show. He lifted Coleman above a deep fryer, which would be an insult in general that someone feels they can pick you up just because you're short. At one point, Todd Bridges shows up at the diner. VanWinkle then razzed Gary to say his famous catch phrase from the show while standing next to Bridges. Gary was FURIOUS. He "fired" VanWinkle, and ran off, hopping in a cab.

I think some of his anger is that people still think of him as Arnold Jackson, and have never really let him grow up. He's been the butt of jokes from the moment the show was over. It's crazy, but it's true.

Through all that, and being stereotyped into kid roles, or being the butt of a midget joke, he's grown a huge chip on his shoulder. It's a defense mechanism in him.

He's a lot like Prince. He constantly tries to ignore and deny his past, yet it's his past that got him to the point he's at now. He has some celebrity that he can either use or not use to his advantage. Not sure how he's set financially, but who cares. He's alive, and living.

I think he feels entitled to respect, and in reality he deserves respect as a human being. But he's one of those people that will go the extra mile when dealing with people who he feels have shorted him (no pun) in some regard. He's held a grudge against society for years, and society doesn't really give a shit. Does he think the public or whoever is fretting in bed at night because Gary Coleman may or may not hate them? Hell no. Gary needs to get over himself, his past, and just enjoy life.

Fair enough, but he brings on the negative attention and the ridicule by way of acting like such a little cunt about it. The guy's famous for one thing, and that's Diff'rent Strokes. He needs to get over it. Would he prefer to not be famous at all? If so, he should keep his ass off crap like the Surreal Life.

He might not want to be famous at this point. He's probably happier, as dictated by his past actions, by not having any media attention at all. Regular folks who have domestic violence issues, or a DUI, or whatever don't go on TV to explain themselves most times. However, a celebrity is a celebrity, and sometimes, that celebrity status can push (or give means to) a person to go on TV and try to right themselves. However, when he does that, and then blows the opportunity, it makes me wonder how his stability when it comes to anger. If he could get over it, he would have. But something is digging at him. Perhaps it's something I rattled off with, perhaps it's something else that we have no idea of. I usually try to give folks the benefit of the doubt, but often times the clearest and loudest prediction of future actions, is past actions. History most often repeats itself within ourselves. We keep taking the test over and over until we pass it. Clearly, Mr. Coleman hasn't passed whatever test is constantly put in front of him.

Just to be clear on one point: he wasn't a house guest on The Surreal Life. The cast ended up at his restaurant, and he happened to be there. He was managing it after all. His appearance, even if he purposely showed up for the taping of that one night, was nothing more than a cameo. He wasn't a paid cast member like Ice or the others were.

He was a paid cast member because that wasn't his restaurant. He was brought in to be part of the circus for a chore that the cast had to do. He was the guest star fillin the role of manager.

If he doesn't want to be famous, great. Good for him. Especially if he can't get over the fact that he's only famous for one thing and struggles with it, etc. But in this day and age, the best way to stop being a celebrity is to stop showing up on TV.

Many years ago, Gary filed a multi million dollar lawsuit against his own parents because they spend ALL of his money that he was making as a child actor. Despite the fact that he won the case, his parents were forced to file for bankruptcy because they didn't have any of his money to pay him at all.

THIS^ incident alone was enough to make him have a chip on his shoulder for many years.

CNN.com Source

Gary Coleman is being treated at a Los Angeles area hospital after suffering a seizure on the set of TV's "The Insider" on Friday, the show reports.

The actor "received immediate medical attention by Drew Pinsky, M.D., who was sitting next to him at the time," according to "The Insider." "He was transferred in stable condition to a local hospital."

Last month, Coleman, 41, was briefly hospitalized in L.A. after he suffered what he called "seizure activity."

Coleman was born with failed kidneys and underwent two transplants before the age of 14.

At one stage in his life, he underwent dialysis four times a day in order to survive. But it's unclear if his recent seizures are kidney-related.


People.com article

Gary Coleman had a medical emergency Wednesday in Los Angeles but it's not life threatening.

"Gary's fine. He wasn't feeling well, so he was taken to a hospital. They're going to run some tests," his agent Robert Malcolm tells PEOPLE.

Malcolm adds that the Diff'rent Strokes star, 41, was in L.A. doing promotional work when he fell ill.
-----
So if this just happened Friday, apparently despite his bitchfest on the show last time, he's returned to face the jury, or do whatever he needed to do. When is THAT video going to surface?!?!
