Mikey V is extraordinary and unstoppable, this is part 2 of the episode where we dive into Mikey’s past and discuss some very sensitive topics that are rarely address in the world of Men’s Health. We ask when you listen to carry and open mind, open heart and deep respect for Mikey, he truly did one of the most difficult things a man can do, discuss his experiences as a victim of sexual assault as a child. I have never been a part of an interview where I was taken through the emotional spectrum quite like this interview, I held back tears, felt anger and wouldn’t you know Mikey still made me laugh through it all. Mikey V is one of the most compassionate, caring, kindhearted men I have ever met. When discussing his experiences with sexual assault I was taken aback when Mikey asked me how I was doing, that is a testament to who Mikey is as a person. I remember him asking me how I was doing and thinking, “How am I doing? Mikey how are you?” That is Mikey, a pillar of what Men’s Health Unscripted is all about. He cares so much for others and has an unmatched desire to help men overcome obstacles no matter how big or small.

One of Mikey’s primary messages in this episode is discussing topics like this because many men bottle up the experience and emotions until it has become too toxic or combustible, leading to self harm or harming others. Mikey could have easily taken a different route but here he is, putting himself out there for the world to see so that other men know they are not alone. Mikey I cannot express enough gratitude for you allowing me to hold this space for you to discuss these difficult events. Meeting you has truly changed my life for the better. Mikey is one of us now and always will be, thank you for your kindness and friendship, the world needs more Mikey V’s!!!
