I find that weird too. I've been checking for new articles or posts since. I bet the reason it seems like it's died down is just that he hasn't said anything, so people don't have all the information to go off, and because STP aren't really massive news.
Side note, but anyone else slightly worried about Dean? I mean, if all the stuff is true, it sounds like he's totally gone off the deep end. Drinking, threatening murder, suicide, etc., and quite honestly he looks like a complete mess now
