Orlando's friends and associates reached out to us,
desperate for help for the troubled star.
Orlando's friend and manager, Solomon Barron,
said he was willing to do anything
to get us to help save his friend's life.
He brought Orlando here to meet me
and here's what happened.
Dr. Phil.
Solomon.
How are you, Sir?
Not bad.
Well, it's good to meet you.
My pleasure.
You are apparently a very nice guy,
a very giving friend, and a very patient man.
I try to be.
'Cause you've been hanging in there
for your friend, Orlando, for quite some time.
Right.
So tell me why we're here
and tell me what you're up against here.
Well, I called in because Orlando is,
I don't wanna diagnosis him because I'm not a professional,
but he's obviously delusional.
He's financially in shambles.
Uh huh.
His living arrangements is in shambles,
his whole life is in shambles right now
and he doesn't quite understand that.
I took him in maybe about eight months ago.
And he has a drinking problem, he smokes a lot of weed.
I mean, he has a really, really high tolerance
for anything and everything and it's gotten out of control.
There's nothing more I can do as far as financially
and emotionally, I'm at my limit.
The room I let him stay in was a disaster.
It's like he had no upbringing,
like this problem started a long time ago.
I don't know how he even got this far in life.
He doesn't carry a wallet, he doesn't have ID,
he keeps his money in his sock.
And how long did he stay with you?
Until he went to jail recently.
I had kicked him out after so long.
We got into a big argument when he woke up delusional
thinking that I stole his vape pen.
So he started screaming, banging on the doors,
and that was the final straw.
I had to put him out, he running around in the streets,
no shoes on, and he ended up going to jail.
You've had problems with him from time to time
while he was staying with you.
He's been there months, right?
Right.
And things would go okay for awhile,
but then you've had episodes with him, right?
Right.
Give me a sense of what I'm dealing with here.
Episode wise, what has happened that's been a problem?
That's one example, where he wakes up, starts banging
on your door and accuses you of stealing something from him.
What else has happened?
Well, like we'll be driving and we'll be listening
to music and then he'll just turn the music down
and he'll be like, Will Smith is my dad, can you call him?
And I'll look at him because it's shocking sometimes,
'cause it comes out of nowhere.
We'll be fine and then out of nowhere
he'll say, I'm Prince Jackson,
Michael Jackson's my father, I own Neverland.
Sometimes you don't know if he's playing
or you don't know if he's serious.
He know we're coming to see Dr. Phil,
but he keeps saying, Dr. Phil?
Oh no, that's Steve Harvey, he look like Steve Harvey.
But then he'll go back to being fine?
Right.
Has he been violent with you at all?
No.
Has he stolen anything?
No.
After his career with so many different people
and trying to reach out to everyone, his mom,
none of the costars that he's had in the years,
nobody wants anything to do with him.
So I accepted the challenge of being his manager,
not totally understanding everything,
being that it's my first rodeo.
So no one at all wants to deal with him,
and then I figured out why.
He has a mental problem that he is not addressing.
So I said, if you can't get him to recognize this problem,
he does not have a chance in life at a comeback,
anything, it doesn't look good for him.
So nobody's been willing to help him?
Nobody's willing to try to help him?
None of his costars, nobody's he's worked with before?
Not lately, no, not lately.
He's burned so many bridges, but I don't think
everyone understands how serious his mental issue is.
But you've asked for help.
Yeah, I've reached out to as many people as I can,
I'm just a little person, so.
Yeah, and what do they say?
There's been a lot of no responses.
Flavor Flav is pretty close with him.
But he's had episodes with Flav, and Flav,
he can only help him so much.
He's tried to help him before, but he's trying
to live his life as well too and secure his future
and do the things he needs to do,
so it's hard for him to help Orlando.
Well, and I understand Flav is a nice guy
and a caring guy, but this just may be
over a layman's head in terms of what to do.
And you've asked other people, nobody's willing to help.
I'm just trying to find out what the situation is
because if I talk to him, I want to know what resources
I have in terms of support and who I could look to
in terms of people that would be there for him,
support him, encourage him, that sort of thing.
And it seems like everybody's turned their back on him.
Well, it kind of works both ways
because when you figure out all the games
and all the things he's doing, he tries to push you away
and he'll just move on to the next person, move on to
the next person, and he'll move on to the next person.
