Artie Lange Suicide Update: Howard Stern “Pissed Off”

Howard Stern isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to the news of Artie Lange’s suicide attempt. He’s pissed off that someone leaked the information, plain and simple.
You’ll recall that yesterday’s New York Post’s Page Six blabbed that Artie Lange attempted suicide by stabbing himself
nine times.
Howard Stern commented on the Artie Lange suicide news:
“I would love to know who the scumbag is who releases that to the press, because this is a private matter. I don’t know what to say. I work with Artie, I love Artie. Everyone has their demons, including myself, but he’s wrestling with some serious stuff … When I heard the news it was too much to bear.”
Stern added: “I’m pissed off the story got out there, pissed off at the shithead who got paid 10 bucks to talk to Page Six …This is a family matter. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to say.”

as for “oh now i c” dont hope he dies. because howard said something silly, your better then that. artie has a mother, and a sister and people who love him just like you probably do. to wish death on him because howard stern mispoke is a bit harsh, i think you know that, your not that bad a person are you?

Artie MAKES the Stern show and I have listened since 83′ and afternoon drive on WNBC. I will say Howards interviews seem to be a little more focused… or maybe he’s just more prepared.
Bottom line – ARTIE IS A PHENOMENAL GUY AND I WISH HIM HEALTH AND A RETURN HOME TO HOWARD.
AND IF HOWARD WANTS TO PROTECT ARTIE – LET HIM. Respect how much Howard respects him.
