General Hospital Spoilers: Maurice Benard Expresses Concern For Kanye West – Sees Bipolar Tendencies In Aspiring Politician

General Hospital (GH) spoilers has some news to pass on about a popular GH star and his recent response to something big going on in the news. Maurice Benard, who portrays Sonny Corinthos on the ABC soap, recently made an observation about rapper and fashion designer Kanye West. As you might have heard, Kayne recently announced that he wants to run for president.

This past weekend, Kanye held a campaign rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, where he gave a long and rambling speech in which he touched on various controversial issues, including some statements about gun control, abortion, and Harriet Tubman that raised eyebrows and caused many in the media and social media to wonder if Kanye is ok.

Well, after watching video footage of Kanye’s speech and his erratic behavior, Maurice took to Twitter to comment about the display. Maurice, who himself suffers from Bipolar Disorder and has been very public about his struggle with mental health, tweeted his suspicion that Kanye also suffers from the disorder.

Specifically, Maurice tweeted: “As I saw a video of @KanyeWest it really saddened me, I don’t know the details, I have a gut feeling. From one Bipolar to another Bipolar, I truly hope you find your way.” Maurice ended the tweet with a peace sign.

Many of Maurice’s followers responded with similar thoughts about Kayne. For example, one person retweeted Maurice’s original post and said: “This right here. We should not be laughing. We should be praying he is getting the help he needs. #MentalHealthAwareness.”

Another person replied, saying: “Thank you for reaching out, @MauriceBenard. Those of us who live with this condition know a spiral when they see one. This isn’t about a new album or a presidential campaign. He is in a crisis.”

We should note that since Maurice’s tweet about the matter, Kanye posted and then deleted a series of tweets suggesting that his wife Kim Kardashian was attempting to get him hospitalized. “Kim tried to bring a doctor to lock me up with a doctor,” Kanye tweeted, according to NPR.

Kanye also tweeted claims that the movie “Get Out” was about him, that actor Shia LaBeouf no-showed for a photo shoot for his Gap clothing line, and he stated that “If I get locked up like Mandela, y’all will know why.”

As you might know if you follow Maurice on social media, he published a book this spring called “Nothing General About It: How Love (And Lithium) Saved Me On And Off General Hospital.” It’s a touching memoir about his own journey with Bipolar Disorder, and it’s gotten plenty of acclaim from fans.

As of this writing, Kanye has not responded to Maurice on Twitter, and his timeline has been quiet since his Monday evening flurry of now mostly deleted tweets. Stay tuned to the ABC soap and don’t forget to check CDL frequently for the latest General Hospital spoilers and news.
