A wake-up call
His arrest for selling cocaine when he was in his 20s was also a wake-up call in his life.
« When I went to jail, reality hit so hard that it took my breath away, took my stance away, took my strength away, » he told Esquire in 2011.
He said at that moment, when he was feeling suicidal, the « comic » in him appeared and « saved » his life.And last September, inspired by Charlie Kirk’s widow’s ability to forgive her husband’s alleged killer, Allen said he wanted to forgive the drunk driver who killed his father.
« When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: ‘That man… that young man… I forgive him. That moment deeply affected me, » he wrote on X. « I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all. »
In August 2024, Allen admitted he had never taken the time to « really read the Bible. »
At the time, he said he was nearly done « reading the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the Prophets. Next up to New Testament. So far amazing and not at all what I was expecting. »
