many ppl are speculating that BJ Penn is suffering from Capgras Syndrome, a rare delusional disorder where someone believes their loved ones have been replaced by an identical imposter. 

BJ made a name for himself as a multi-division UFC Champ, then threw his hat in the political ring, running for Governor of Hawaii as a republican in 2022. that was a completely different type of delusion. 

he’s been dropping increasingly disturbing posts about how his mom and other family members (including kids) have been murdered and replaced with imposters. it’s escalating quickly and is clearly unsettling behavior.

what’s less clear is what’s causing it … too many hits to the head? excessive drug use? both? 

he’s been known locally as a hot head who likes to party and ppl are making some heavy accusations as the posts ramp up. 

it’s really sad to see and i hope he gets the help he needs before someone gets hurt. i’ve seen this story play out before and it doesn’t end well.

I was a BJ fan when he was fighting and have been following this. So very scary. I do hope someone will get through to him and he gets help.
