AceShowbiz - Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has revealed that his late father endured a childhood marked by tragedy and stood trial for murder at the tender age of 9. During an episode of Bunnie Xo's "Dumb Blonde" podcast, the musician recounted the harrowing story shared with him by his father.

According to MGK, his grandfather's gun accidentally discharged, resulting in his death. In the aftermath, both his father and grandmother were charged with murder, but were acquitted. This traumatic event left a profound impact on his father throughout his life.

Growing up, MGK often clashed with his father over his father's apparent sensitivity to loud noises. He later realized that his father's behavior stemmed from the unresolved trauma of witnessing his grandfather's death at such a young age.

MGK has developed a deep understanding of his father's struggles and has come to extend empathy towards him. He acknowledges that his father navigated a difficult childhood and parenthood journey, navigating challenges that he could hardly imagine. Despite their tumultuous relationship, MGK had a meaningful conversation with his father on his deathbed, discussing the impact of the trial on his life.

In his 2022 "Life in Pink" documentary, MGK spoke candidly about his father's experience, recalling how he watched his father "suffer a lot" growing up. He explained that the trauma endured by his father later manifested in himself, as his father "never took a chance to heal."

MGK's daughter, Casie, also shared her insights on the generational impact of trauma. She observed that her father's depression seemed to stem from the unresolved pain passed down from his childhood.

Through his father's story, MGK recognizes the importance of seeking healing from past traumas to prevent them from harming future generations. He emphasizes that we are all human, prone to mistakes and vulnerabilities, and that empathy and understanding are crucial in navigating the complexities of life.
