Dumas took to his Instagram an hour later to write a cryptic message.
“After everything I have done and everything else, I feel like a f—king bozo,” Dumas wrote on his Instagram story. “I stuck my neck out and did a lot for people and at the end of the day I get looked at like shit. Somethings happen in mysterious as a way just to show how things and people are. I can’t believe this shit.”
