Ryan Garcia, or more accurately, his tweets have proven to be highly unreliable! Whether it’s him trolling his followers or trolling other celebrities on the platform, fans have learned to take it with a pinch of salt.

In a later tweet, he even suggested if anything happens to his mother, he might not be able to survive the ordeal himself. While the specifics of Lisa’s diagnosis are currently unknown, Garcia’s tweets were enough to elicit a genuinely remorseful response from the Oscar-nominated actress.
Responding to Garcia’s tweet, Perez wrote, “Nooo! I’m so sorry to hear this! Prayers!!” Regardless, before this latest storm in his life, Ryan Garcia has been struggling with his positive doping test results from the Devin Haney fight. However, a report provided by the Victorville native of late, the source of his adverse findings, came from a couple of supplements he took in the lead-up to the fight. And VADA has officially responded to the news reports on social media.
