Ciccone is an alcoholic and lives on the streets of North Michigan, reported the Huffington Post.
"She doesn't care if I'm dead or alive. She lives in her own world. I never loved her in the first place, she never loved me. We never loved each other," he said.
It was first reported that Ciccone lived under a bridge in Traverse City. In October 2011, he had said that he lost his job at the family's winery due to his alcohol addiction and that his family had done nothing to help him get back on his feet.
"I'm a human being, you can call me what you want. (Alcoholic) is a label, I don't like it. I don't need brain surgery, I merely need love and care of family and friends," he added.
