Carrot Top broke his silence following his suicide attempt with an emotional note to fans.

“I’m truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support, prayers, and well wishes I’ve received over the past couple of weeks,” he wrote via Instagram on Saturday.

“Every message, text, and kind thought has meant more to me than you know,” he added, alongside a pic of himself onstage.

“While I haven’t been able to respond to everyone individually, please know that I’ve felt your love and appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being there for me during this time. It truly means the world to me!”

He added an orange heart to the upload before noting that he returns to the stage at the Luxor for his self-named prop comedy show on Oct. 19.

“Hacks” star Hannah Einbinder was among the first to respond in the comments thread, writing, “love you scott❤️,” referring to the comedian’s given name, Scott Thompson.

A fan wrote, “The World is too dark to be without you,” while another chimed in, “Please know the world has your back !”

A third wrote, “The joy you bring this world is truly magical. Carrot Top forever ❤️🥕” while a fourth noted, “hope you truly did see all the love and you know that you have so many you could reach out to at any given moment. 🤍”

The message comes a month after Thompson’s Sept. 18th hospitalization following a suicide attempt at his Las Vegas home.

Per a police report obtained by Page Six, Thompson was found unconscious near his backyard pool during a welfare check, and was transported to a local hospital.

The welfare check came after Thompson’s manager said got off the phone with Thompson after discussing an article containing sexual misconduct allegations that was set to be released.

Per the police report, the actor’s manager alleged he was distraught and texted “done” shortly after they ended the call.

Page Six confirmed Thompson was released to recover at home on Sept. 26. He was subsequently spotted attending local church services on Oct. 4, and again the following week.

The incident came amid the star’s legal battle with his former show opener Brian Evans, who worked in the past with him onstage.

Per court documents obtained by Page Six, the musician allegedly threatened Thompson with the release of a sexually explicit video of him if he wasn’t paid a $500,000 settlement — which Evans denied in a statement to Page Six, saying he “never threatened — ever — to post any video anywhere in exchange for a settlement.”

The musician also expressed regret “that Scott apparently did something to hurt himself” and said the alleged video was “deleted a long time ago.”
