  • Pistorius’ Family Say He’s Getting Into ‘Self-Harming’ Behaviour

    • Oscar's Hopes Of Being Home For Christmas Go Up In Smoke

    Oscar’s family have responded to the weekend’s incidents with Jared Mortimer, defending the athlete and emphasising his vulnerable emotional state. While they have conceded that it was not a wise decision to be in such a public space at this time, they say Oscar is lonely and isolated and this emotional state is causing him to make bad decisions which are potentially harmful to himself.

    Leo Pistorius said the family felt compelled to challenge “outrageous claims” made about the incident, which happened days after the final evidence was heard in his trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

    He said: “Whilst Oscar venturing out into a public space with his cousin, in the current climate and whilst his court case is still underway, was unwise, those of us closest to him have been witness to his escalating sense of loneliness and alienation.

    “This, we believe, is underlying some of his self-harming behaviour.

    “As a family we are counselling Oscar to find ways to deal with his feelings of isolation.

    “At the same time however, we cannot allow one man’s untrue version of what happened to stand unchallenged.”

    Mr Pistorius denied his nephew was the aggressor in the incident and claimed witnesses could back him up.

    Once again, there are accusations of Oscar being aggressive and the Pistorius family saying otherwise.

    Really though, poking a man in the chest is a deadly crime compared to shooting your girlfriend through a closed bathroom door so it is understandable why this supposed bar “fight” is getting so much attention, right?

    If you somehow missed it, details on the alleged incident are here and here.

    Where do you stand? Is Oscar getting aggressive out of grief or is Jared being a rumour monger?
