“My analogy here is, if Ryan Garcia does have, as he says he has, significant mental illness, and then he acts like a jerk, Garcia remains Garcia, and the episodes of mental illness remain the episodes of mental illness, and the disrespectful behavior remains the disrespectful behavior,” Williams said. “It would be a mistake to just say Garcia’s entirety as a person is defined by his jerk behavior, but at the same time, the jerk behavior should not just be completely absolved as, ‘Well, that’s just what happens when one has mental illness — they must act like a jerk.’ That’s not true. And it doesn't excuse all the damage you do to people when you are behaving that way.”
