He told us that he believes his attack was not a coincidence. The star said the 'robbery' seems dodgy because the so-called thugs only targeted him. He said:
"I think it was a set-up. Because I was attacked in the morning between 8am and 9am inside my house and they only took my stuff, even though I was with my girlfriend and the kids. If it was a robbery, then they were supposed to take all of our gadgets, and not just mine only."
