I think so too. Before the reveal, he mentioned in confessional that he was playing a character. Fishtank wiki also says he comes from money. I think he's still retarded, but way smarter than he lets on
I think theyre all playing a character more than people think, but because they arent real/trained actors they arent great so your personality does slip through. I think some of when you see him vulnerable or emotional kinda, even if hes getting aggressive, is drunk, or getting in trouble, is real but the more insane 'dude im CrAzY' shit and snarling at people is fake.
Im kinda skeptical about the monkeys and even the divorce type of shit even, it could be to give it an edge since he apparently was hired when it was still fishtank--if he was told it was like a social media reality show he could have thought it would give his character a weird edge or something.
He does apparently come from money but he also has that arrest charge and last night he was freaking out after I think talking with jeet and Jobe at the bar, or in confessional and he goes into B3 and is going 'were all fucked, what is this show, look what its doing to us, were all fucked when we get out, our lives are over because of the show'. I asked about if its over losing the inheritance in chat and someone said he'd been cut off already; his family he'd lose is his Hispanic wife and the monkeys. And his wife said she was gonna divorce him so idk.
Idk if the cut off thing is true but rich people and their kids. If theyre good ol boys, or worried about looking respectable, they either put you in a 'safe job' where you arent high enough to advance much but cant fuck shit up either, they try to hide and shelter you and keep you out of trouble and public, or they do cut you off especially if you dont behave.
I knew some guys like him, Ive hung out with rich kids and burnouts and honestly he reminds me a bit of the Jackass guys, like Bam Margera or Johnny Knoxville. Didnt he come in kinda dressed like Johnny Knoxville?
