In his first public statement since being arrested for multiple assaults following an alleged suicide attempt, Junie Browning apologized for whatever went down that night, but suggested, of course, that people don’t know the full story. "Stuff gets a little more complicated than it seems to be when you read it on paper. I have a lot of problems and I’m working on them. That’s just about all I can really say…I’m truly sorry for what happened, and if I could take it back I definitely would." Browning thanked the fans for their support and the UFC for the opportunity he was given, and promised he’ll make it up to everybody one day. Get well soon, Lunatic.
As for Browning’s mentor Shawn Tompkins — who drove Junie to the hospital during his Klonopin bender — the highly respected striking coach is going through some life changes of his own…
Yes, NateGetsIrate, Tompkins has left his longtime home-base at Xtreme Couture. (There, happy now?) He explained that the separation with XC happened "on good terms." However:
For now, Tompkins will be working out of the Tapout Training Center, which he praised for its top-notch facilities and "family-oriented" vibe. Tompkins also re-stated his support for Junie Browning: "He really is a great person and that wasn’t Junie Browning. Sometimes when you’re involved in things like, even if it’s prescription drugs, the drugs are bigger than the person…I will stand behind him because he’s a human being and it’s more than just teaching people how to kick and punch. I take my job personal, and I feel that he’s my responsibility."

commentsAlso, the guy is 0-4!
Just saying.
Let me give you the low down from what they call the "underground":
Look at the simularities between Junie and Shawn...both have the metro albino doo job and both look like they recently had a bender with the crystal meth, extacy...er klonopin...something like that. Shawn is obviously Junie's father figure by taking in the troubled, prodigal son by his "side" and finds his physical similarities arousing...obviously. Oh ya, Shawn has the frosted tips and they say those guys are always the pitcher...anyway the story continues...
Here's where the creepiness creeps in..."Shunie" (as they are now known) broke the sacred bond between master and student, father and son (insert Catholic Church reference here) and they began feeding each other "holy bread".
Then one day manly man cock block Randy Couture rolls into the gym (fresh from a hetero morning fluff from Crush) and finds "Shunie" in a prolonged "experimental" Crucifix / North-South position. Randy goes apeshit. The rest is history, Junie says seeya to the cruel cruel world and Shawn jumps camp where he can continue his special training of "special" students.
Consider yourself properly informed...amatuers.
Ditto, man.
I had a boss that was bi. He would get all close to me and rub my shoulders and ask me out to dinner. Then the two-timing tramp would cozy up with everything in the office that wore a skirt.
Slut.
....he broke my heart.
Oh, wait!...bi-POLAR!
Uhhh...yeah, he was that too.
"I'm not right in the head, sorry"
Tompkins needs to stop swinging off Junie's nuts too. I vote we call him Shawn 'Swinging Nuts' Tompkins from now on.
See man, Patience is a virtue. LOL
Isn't Bonnar still at the Tapout gym? He should give Shawn a good shot to the mouth and remove his limp body from the training center.
As Hunter S. Thompson said, "You can turn back on a person, but you can never turn your back on a drug, especially when it's waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye."
