“There’s a lot to Russ,” he added, claiming that after a harmonious start to Wilson’s career in Seattle, things started to erode over time — largely after he was more frequently in the spotlight after his marriage to pop star Ciara.

“A lot of things started to change when that happened,” Furness continued. “He kind of became a ‘Look at me guy.’ We used to joke out here, it used to be their saying was, ‘Why not us?’ Then it became ‘Look at me,’ for Russ. He just changed, and he became a problem inside the facility, with the front office and with the staff. It just snowballed from there before they traded him.”
