After the unfortunate news of the Jared Padalecki arrest broke Sunday, fans flocked to all forms of social media to show support for the Supernatural star.
As we posted in our Instagram story, “Shit happens.” We’ve all had a drunken night where we did something we regretted. I’m sure this situation will lead to a message of positivity from the actor and it may even prompt some kind of change in his personal life that will make him a bigger and better person.

I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with Jared and his wife Gen multiple times throughout the years (going back to 2010). They are very down to earth people who are just trying to make it in this world like the rest of us, focusing on raising their family while maintaining a happy marriage and successful career. But we all know the pressures that come with making it all work. It isn’t easy for any of us. And like Jared, I have suffered from depression and anxiety and know that it can be an overwhelming struggle.
Sending all the love and strength to Jared, Gen and all their friends and family today. This too shall pass.
Here are some of the best messages of support we found online.

Thank you for this. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for posting something that wasn’t bashing jared! He is a man and he made a mistake. We all do. The thing about mistakes though, you grow from them! No one is condoning his behavior, but he also shouldn’t be bashed over it just because he is a celebrity. We love you Jared! #Hugs4Jared #SupportJared #SPNFamily
Jared is such an Inspirational and giving Soul. I’m So Sorry to hear that he is going thru this. We don’t know the full Story and shouldn’t jump to Conclusions. He has been a Strong key role model for those whom are struggling with Mental Health Issues. It’s difficult for me as a Parent who has a Child with both Anxiety and Depression. You would never know that he is. I Love his role as Sam and also Jared the Man. We should not Condemn him, he’s not Perfect and Simply a Man that has made a Mistake. Stay Strong Jared and keep your head up! Always your Supporter. “This to shall Pass”. Supernatural and Jared Fan to the day I die.
THANK YOU for being a rare POSITVE beacon in this muddy media mess!!!! I sure wish everyone would cover Jared equally as enthusiastic when the news are GOOD and he is his usual hardworking, generous, kind and amazing self!!!!
I support Jared 100% he will get better in time. You got this Jared

There is NO excuse for his behavior. I could care less about this guy but if your 40 and have 3 kids then it’s time to get your act together and grow up. Nice example he’s setting for his kids what a douche
You obviously have no experience with depression, addiction and are a perfect human being .
