Last month Martin Lawrence was hit with a double whammy after his marriage crumbled and the sitcom he was developing got dropped like a hot potato.
Now friends are fearing for Mart-in's mental health so if you see him running through the streets of LA wearing a plastic bag and waving a gun around this time you'll know why...
From The National Enquirer
MARTIN LAWRENCE is at the end of his rope and telling pals he has "nothing to live for."
The onetime sitcom and movie star is shattered that his career has all but ground to a halt and devastated that his marriage to Shamicka Lawrence, the mother of his two children, has crashed and burned, say sources.
Lawrence, 47, filed for divorce on April 25, and just two weeks later, CBS shot down the new sitcom he was developing.
A pal says Lawrence was rocked by the rejection and reduced to a "Zombie-like state of mind."
"He said something like, 'My career and life are over, and I have nothing to live for.' We're worried he may do something stupid.
"Martin is embarrassed, hurt and angry that nobody wants him anymore."
Lawrence was once one of the top comic actors around. Besides his smash sitcom "Martin," which ran from 1992 to 1997, he also starred in several big-screen hits including the "Bad Boys" and "Big Momma" series.

Shout out to everyone that cites The Enquirer as a valid 'news source'.
Oh, and on or two true articles DON'T make them credible. The Enquirer is a rag.
BS!! Martin has other projects that have been very successful over the last few years. He has been a producer and executive producer to several cable shows.
If he's in a zombie like state of mind, it's because of his wife. She must have been cheating or something, and it caught off guard, that's the only way I can see him tripping out.
Hang in there Marty-Mar! We Love You Man!! Remember when Martin gave the party and Pam was the doorman charging everybody $10 and Pam wouldnt let ShaNeyNay in! Omg...we were on da floor watchn that rerun. And Tommy riding KiLoLo and then in the car. another classic amongst thousands im sure!! You are still current big bro! -- A STAN BK in Charlotte
Listen Mat-in.. Call Gina Cole Tommy and Beadie Bead and start Martin up again on TV 1. You know their all broke and we still LOVE Martin. Don't kill your self Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn.
I agree with 2:04. He has plenty to live for, two kids and other projects. I don't believe this shit for one minute.
@2:04 PM
I remember when I first saw Dragonfly Jones as a kid, I was in tears. I don't see how Kenji kept a straight face with Martin acting a got damn fool.
Find Christ Martin.You went against the Oath. Hollywood don't want you anymore unless do another movie wearing a damn dress.
Whatever! Martin's "Martin" sitcom will forever be a classic. Be well Marty Mar!
i would really love for them to re-do an updated biopic of Tina Turner and Martin play Ike i remember on his sitcom it was a halloween episode and he was dressed as Ike he was very convincing he would just need to drop some weight.And Beyonce after some intense acting lessons could do justice to Tina.Someone needs to develop that asap
martin just needs to stay off drugs...and he is very talented, hopefully he knows that...whoever leaked that little bit of information, it wasnt cool, if that's what he really said, did the individual state they were going to try to help him? Noooooooooooooooooo.
he can always do another big momma movie
MARTIN DO ANOTHER BAD BOYS 3 WITH WILL!
AND LEAVE THOSE WHITE PEOPLE'S DRUGS ALONE MAAAN!
Martin is fine! The NE article is totally BS. Please believe that he is fine and will continue to be fine. He has a lot of projects lined up - both acting and producing. And he isn't broke or even close to it.
Some of ya'll are lost in the sauce...Martin was a great sitcom until that last ackward season...The reality is, Martin has been in some shitty ass movies (Black Knight anyone??..Me thinks not) and that show he produced "Love that Girl" was pure bullshit. Martin is not a writer so I think he's only as good as the person writing the material. I believe he conceptualized the characters on Martin BUT he didn't the memorable lines and hiliarious ass jokes on the show. Futhermore, Martin had a drug problem back in the day...I'm not sure if he still uses but...when u fuck with them heavy drugs, u gotta understand that it will have long term effects on your brain and your emotional and mental stability...Chill Martin...go to that happy place in your head and go from there, my man...
I call BS on this story!!!!
This sounds false he filed for divorce and sitcoms get dropped everyday, I don't believe this story either co-sign!
2:12 Why was I thinking the same thing?
2:12 Say that shit some people may not know or are in denial Martin ain't having that shit. He not saling out n that may be why he can't find much to do now but he had a show on tv1 called love that girl and I liked it. Ashley from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air play on it. Not sure if they took it off air but keep your head up Martin if this is true. Atleast someone isn't willing to get fucked in the ass to stay on top
This is complete BULLSHIT!!! Martin has his own production company that does very well, with many projects in the works. Not to mention Martin and Will Smith are currently working on bad boys 3. This story is so BOGUS.
damn a new sictom!! martin comes on about 5 or 6 times a day and people still live for that show.now i can see him upset about his marriage but then, i even call bullshit on that.
Keep Ya Head Up Martin! You Got A lot to Live For Ur fans love you & is rooting for. Divorce and other disappointments is just a part of life. We all gotta deal with some hardships from time to time but just keep smiling. I still hope this story is not true though. #ImJustSaying
^thats right
Martin, you're rich bitchhhh. Get you shared custody and visitation in order,pay the old wife her money (cause you know she's comin' hard) get you some new young pussy to hang out with and live life man. It's not that serious!
Marin IS bipolar...
@2:04 PM
LMBAO classic episode, were rooting for you to pull through Martin, you are a very talented comedian.
@6:24 PM
Bipolar don't stop the show, many people function with bipolar disorder, you would be surprised how many people are functioning with bipolar. as long as he's being treated and know what his triggers are bipolar does not have to dominate or ruin your life.
Damn , that's a low down , hope he can pull through.
Life throws shit at you left and right , we all have days when we wanna act out and we should be able to , just let it out ,otherwise its gonna build up and next thing yuo reaching for a gun!
Everyone YELL! and breathe.....
Just put that dress back on fag!
@6:22pm
New young pussy ain't free he's going to have pay for that too. If you don't believe me ask Marcus Jordan.
WE LOVE YOU MARTIN JUST KEEP YOUR ASS OFF THE FREEWAY IT WILL BE OK LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
@1:50
LMAOF! true!

I thought Martin did a great job with TVones' "LOVE THAT GIRL", which was very funny and entertaining for a new prime time show.
Now did Martin dis TVone in hopes of a major network pilot show? Huhmmm, karma.
I always heart Martin! I dont think he gets the credit he deserves...Martin>seinfeld.
I think he might need to move back to the east coast though LA hasn't treated him right since his sitcom was over!
I was actually looking forward to his return to TV I think CBS made a mistake, a big one. Ain't nobody wathing them dry sitcoms that come on now.
