Loyal friend. He made it clear he wasn't about to gossip about Rbecca

[AJ-woqh]

Let’s give it up for a friend who refuses to be baited into bringing a friend down!! The class and respect Jimmy showed through this interview (specifically towards Rebecca) was something we can all learn from. Love the energy!

"Drugs are not the problem. The problem is why you do drugs" Lots of truth there

[lbrtyall]

Jimmy is the one who deserves all the help mark has given to Rebecca. He genuinely wants a good life. He is smart, well spoken, and has a good head on his shoulders. I wish you all the best, Jimmy. ❤

Jimmy sounds like the sane and stable version of Rebecca, i see why theyre friends.

[michaelcordero]

Can u please check on jimmy again and do another interview with him he is very very interesting he pulls you in

[Updatenotavailable]

I think Jimmy deserves a better title than just ‘Rebecca’s Friend’

UPDATE. JIMMY WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY BY THE JURY.

[gailsprangers]

Jimmy breaks my heart. He's anxious and lost. He knows all the right things to say, but struggles to believe them for himself. He was put on suicide watch for a reason. His little dog is the only thing keeping him going right now, so I hope whatever happens they allow them to stay together. He laughed a very nervous, but revealing laugh when you said you thought rebecca had mental issues and said we all do, or started to say that. I hope he gets the support and reassurance he so desperately needs. He seems like a very sweet soul.

[SkylarSuki]

The anxiety can be felt through the screen. This video does not even begin to tell his whole story but his body language and the way he is using his dog for comfort is enough to show that he is going through a lot.

[kathyspottek]

He has significant insight and it’s clear he yearns for a healthier life.

It seems like Mark sometimes asks leading questions in the interviews. I admire Jimmy for so eloquently dodging Mark’s attempts.

[cee.em.xo]

I was a little bit disappointed with some of the things Mark said and asked in this interview. Jimmy deserved better representation. Jimmy if you ever read this, please know that I diligently listened to you throughout this whole interview. Rebecca was a side note. You are a beautiful, well spoken and you have your own story. I pray that you will find peace and stability. My heart goes out to you

[kdeloris]

You become like your abuser when you don't heal from your trauma. Very well said, Jimmy

[shaybe]

His little dog is his most loyal friend. Our pets are family and know all our secrets. Unconditional Love is so true.. No judgement just pure love.♥️🐾

[marinajade]

"Drugs aren't the problem, the reason why you do drugs are the problem." SO TRUE. You can focus on sobriety/abstinence all you want, the underlying issues need to be addressed.

“ You don’t have to be homeless. There are plenty of resources out there for you. You just have to go there and make yourself a priority”
…..Jimmy, you said that so well. It could apply to other situations as well. Make yourself a priority is so much easier said than done. However, he speaks the truth.

[giafogg]

With housing you pay 30 percent of your income. In my opinion Jimmy didn't want to answer the question of rent because then people would know his income. And that's his business. Same with how he makes his money. He's smart in dodging those questions so he doesn't lose the roof over his head. It can be a precarious situation.

[SarahNicole]

Jimmy sounds like a genuine soul. He honoured his friend Rebecca by being loyal & NOT Gossiping about them.
He Truly respects Rebecca & to find a friend like that nowadays is rare.
Good on you Jimmy.
Ur a GENUINE GOOD PERSON & FRIEND!😊

[philmccracken]

What a beautiful, intelligent, genuinely good person. I hope Jimmy finds peace and success and happiness. Such a treasure

Rebecca doesn't need to go to Coachella, but the people trying to get her ticket are making me cringe hard.
