“So, I don’t know how to say any of this but it all needs said. I have never loved or been loved by anyone as much as this amazing woman Jessi Combs. She was truly my unicorn, and I enjoyed every single minute that I had with her. She was the most amazing spirit that I have ever or will ever know. Unfortunately, we lost her yesterday in a horrific accident, I was the first one there and trust me we did everything humanly possible to save her!!” Madden began his heartfelt and lengthy message.

He went on to discuss how he is not ok, as well as how Combs family would release a proper statement later. Madden also wanted to let fans know there will be specific information on where to donate in honor of the Combs.

“Please donate to nothing, I know there will be people try, we are finishing the documentary as she wished and the world will know the truth and her foundation will use those funds to do amazing things in this world and make her legacy live on properly. In the coming days, her family and I will get the proper channels put together that you can then donate to that foundation, but until you hear it from me, wait please,” he explained.
