So, reading between the lines, this former A- list mostly television actor hates meeting his fans and only does it for money and was diverting funds from his foundation that fans donated to, for his own personal funds.
But hey, go ahead and buy his new product.

Ian Somerhalder says wife Nikki Reed dug him out of 8-figure debt
Ian Somerhalder is singing wife Nikki Reed’s praises after revealing she spent two years saving him from massive financial debt.
“I’ve never disclosed this publicly, but this woman worked selflessly for 2yrs to build me out of a terrible business situation I got myself into,” Somerhalder explained in a lengthy photo caption shared on Friday. “Before Nik and I got together I built a company while shooting TVD that was important to me.”
The 42-year-old actor, who married Reed in 2015, goes on to reveal he “invested heavily,” making “huge personal guarantees” to different banks.
“However due to greed and fraud within that company and fraudulent activities from our biggest customer, not to mention the temporary collapse of the oil and gas industry – I was left in an EIGHT- FIGURE hole,” the former “Vampire Diaries” star shared.
Somerhalder doesn’t reveal specifics, but also shared that traveling the world in attempt to pay off the debt left him hospitalized four times in two years. He now credits his wife for allowing him the freedom to create his successful liquor company, Brothers Bond Bourbon, with his former co-star, Paul Wesley.
“I am where I am BECAUSE of this woman. Brothers Bond Bourbon is actually here today because of this woman. I was able to start my life over because of this woman. Needless to say it’s been the most eye opening and truly humbling experience.” – Source
