Though he says that he came away mostly unscathed, Kasper explained: “I walked away with a new scar, but thankfully, I’m feeling better today.”

“Huge thanks to the incredible staff for handling everything so professionally, helping me get back on my feet to finish what I started,” he said.

Kasper also dispelled rumours that he was under the influence of “any substances”, explaining that he has been sober his entire life. “But the rumours are entertaining,” he joked.
