By sharing their experience, Toby and Mikey aim to encourage others to speak up and seek help, while also destigmatizing conversations around mental health and trauma.

The details

Toby and Mikey said that while on vacation in Los Angeles in 2024, they went to dinner and a bar, where they ordered one drink and then completely blacked out. Toby woke up in an unfamiliar place, stripped of his clothes, with a stranger present. He was able to convince the person to let him leave the room to find Mikey, who was passed out on a sofa. The couple managed to get out of the situation, but the trauma of the assault left them in a 'low place mentally' and struggling with depression. They avoided social situations and did not go on vacation the following year.
