“The doctor comes up to me and says, ‘Show me your wrist.’ And I said, ‘That's not where I'm cut.’” the 51-year-old recalled. “So, ‘Show me where you're cut.’ So I pulled on my pants, and blood is all over the place.”

Dr. Oz asked John if he regretted his actions. He said, “The only thing I regret is not engaging in the relationship as much as she was engaged in it. I was young, I wasn't ready. We talked into me marrying her because she didn’t want to go back to her country. She basically asked me to marry her.”
