TLC fans are rallying behind the My 600-Lb Life star (TLC)"My wife and I were together for five years and we no longer had those same feelings for each other," William explained. "We loved each other, but we weren't in love. And I think we woke up one day realising that, so we separated thinking maybe separation [would] work, we tried to get back together and it just did not seem like it was the right thing to do, it was literally 'here's the divorce paperwork, sign it done. Okay, done."

Detailing his career collapse, William added: "I still had my job and customer service, but starting over was hard. Rents in Colorado is really expensive. So I moved back to Texas. Staying in hotel rooms, just kind of making things easy, cheaper on me. And I was working the night shift from home. The phone systems weren't working right for the overnight people. But instead of addressing the issue and resolving it, they just kind of got rid of the people that were having the issues. They just kind of got rid of me.
"And then I moved out of my hotel room, and that's when the depression started to creep up on me. Because even when it's agreeable, I mean it's divorce. It's rough. It's tough. It does take a toll mentally. I just kept it all in and I didn't talk to anybody about it."
