According to Darrell’s co-star and on-screen rival, Ren\u00e9 Nezhoda, Darrell was “tormented” by “cyberbullies” prior to this death.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9 reflected on their relationship, sharing: “This was not an easy video to shoot. Unfortunately, Darrell Sheets took his own life. So he passed away. I know a lot of you guys think we hated each other because we competed a lot on the show. And you know, we had our moments. We had our run-ins because we were both competitors, right? We were both competitors with the biggest threat out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Ren\u00e9 explained that “deep down” he and Darrell “were friends”, and he was “a very hard worker that cared more than anyone I\u2019ve ever met about their family, about his son, about Zoe, pretty much all the people in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9 also claimed that he was being “cyberbullied” by someone before his death, alleging: “Rest in peace Darrell Sheets. Also I know Darrell would want something positive out of this, so he had a guy that [was] really really tormenting him lately. Cyberbullying.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “Guys, just because you watch us on television, doesn\u2019t mean you know us. It doesn\u2019t mean you know what we\u2019re about. Also, it doesn\u2019t entitle you to bully somebody. That\u2019s not [just] us, that\u2019s anybody. That\u2019s any athlete. You shouldn\u2019t cyberbully at all.”<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9\u00a0 added: \u201cYou never know what demons somebody faces and what they go through and what you might push them through. Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that has been cyberbullying and torturing him and I really hope they look into that guy and that\u2019s just not a pass. It\u2019s just not right guys. Be better.\u201d<\/p>\n
