Extremely disappointed in Jerrod

Warning: Spoilers
This show was a very disappointing personal perspective of another celebrity that I didn't want to know about. It's giving Jada pinkett Smith at a red table talk... He was revealing very personal information about one's background and members of Jerrod's closest circle. I was such a fan of him and his stand up in the past and I'm a big supporter of LGBT so to get an inside of his coming out was a very exciting perspective that I was eager to watch after his special. Unfortunately from the start we see him putting his supposed best friend on blast in front of a camera to confront Jerrod's feelings for him. Jerrod openly cheating on his boyfriend and then parading a semi-nude photo of him to his father to make his father uncomfortable about his sexuality later in the season. Then there's a terrible moment where he calls his father a slave when he's realizing that his father was a sharecropper and worked the fields, after making fun of him walking with a hunched back as an older man. He then shows specific editing of a financial contrast of his childhood friend who grew up in foster homes and his wealthy life and then tries to coach him into being a better comedian. But in all actuality he's just teaching him how to sit in a chair in front of an audience and use them as a therapy session, which is what Jerrod did in the first four episodes, reading his mom's text or listening to her voicemails in front of a live audience while he tells awkward personal stories and gets a few breaks of laughs here and there... I'mma finish this series because I want to have a full perspective on who he is because he wants us to know. I genuinely do not see him continuing a career in comedy if this is how he's going to do comedy. If you want to be this dramatic just be an actor... Leave your personal life to your personal life, especially when it's embarrassing other people. And I didn't even mention how much of a terrible best man he was and friend... He's just a really bad person and not funny any more. He saw how this was edited and still let it out, which means he really didn't care. How sad to not care about how you make other people look ...
