Chet Hanks confronted Eric Andre at ComplexCon over his 2023 comments calling Chet “emotionally disturbed” following his dangerous behavior on “The Eric Andre Show”: “How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad.”

Total armchair psych analysis

I think Chet has something going on with him, maybe something like ADHD where his impulse control is very bad. He was such a troublemaker as a teen that his parents, who had all the money in the world, sent him to one of those teenage work camps. The ones where they “kidnap” your kid in the night, and then make them do labor in the desert. They claim to “straighten out troubled teens” but really it’s just abuse. 

The fact that they would do that to him makes me think that Chet was never understood or helped as a kid. There’s no such thing as a “bad” kid imo. Much much more likely, a kid who is really struggling due to some underlying issue they desperately need help with. 

Chet didn’t get that help and this is what you end up with.

I’d also guess he hung out with the wrong crowd.

That’s generally the number one reason why affluent parents send their kids to these throwaway camps. Ask me how I know.
