Nude and masturbating, pounding the pavement with his fists...Jason Russell's very public breakdown on Thursday was not the result of substance abuse, his wife insisted Friday.
Danica Russell instead suggested all the sudden attention on her husband following the release of his KONY 2012 mini-documentary is to blame.
The Invisible Children co-founder "did some irrational things brought on by extreme exhaustion and dehydration," Danica said.
"We thought a few thousand people would see the film, but in less than a week, millions of people around the world saw it. While that attention was great for raising awareness about Joseph Kony, it also brought a lot of attention to Jason -- and, because of how personal the film is, many of the attacks against it were also very personal, and Jason took them very hard."
As RadarOnline.com has been reporting, KONY 2012 tells the story of Ugandan despot Joseph Kony, who has created an army out of hundreds of thousands of kidnapped children. The video has had more than 80 million views in just a few weeks.
A spokeswoman for the San Diego Police Department announced that no charges would be filed against Russell. They recognized the situation as "medical," and he was transported to a local hospital.

If i had a husband and he said that i would get him neutered
GONE
Idk why, but I couldn't get MythBusters to do an episode on this even though I think Adam and Jamie would make a cute couple. 8o)
AND WHAT AN ASS IT IS.
Saying its not drugs is confirming he had a psychologic break with reality.
This will fuck him up for life, and he'll never be the same. But most people bounce back.
Just because someone had a serious breakdown like this doesnt mean they should be discounted.
The exhaustion/dehydration excuse is just too much.
I hope you really love him gurl
He also reminded me of that Christy episode of Intervention, and I don't exactly trust him as a source on anything, so who knows. If it's mental illness, I don't mean to make fun of it, but if it's not...lawd.
But if it's a bad acid trip, then I'll laugh.
Gimme the gold!
My brother loves to imitate that lady.
