In his heartfelt Instagram post, Lorenzo shared, “I’m back with Myles. Together again. I hope. I’m sorry everyone. A few know they could have shown me love but refused, and after awhile I was only left with a monster, who had broken me down over 5 years. I was trapped with Stockholm syndrome, feeding on the morsels of hope and love, which were rare and taken away while punishment came.”

He elaborated that his ongoing struggles with mental health, exacerbated by challenges in his relationship with his ex-boyfriend, led to his emotional decline. Buffa expressed a fundamental longing for love and connection.
