Nevertheless, Larsa was having none of it and claimed it was inappropriate. The 49-year-old said,He did not step down; he refused. He was suspended. His mom went on a hunger strike to protest his suspension… He is not even accepting responsibility for what he has done. He got his mom to starve herself on his behalf. He is a grown man acting like a child.”
