Robert "Bob" Proctor was once a long-time mentor of Daniel, and an important figure in his overall life.

Daniel and Bob first came into contact through a reading buddy program at the Tennyson Center, a facility Daniel went for schooling and living in his teens. While Daniel was living at the Tennyson Center (at the time of an ongoing custody battle), he had the opportunity to attend a reading buddy program once a week. Daniel reports that he and Bob, "...really hit it off," enough so that the Tennyson Center permitted them to have a relationship outside of their program. Daniel's grandmother, Nancy Shimer, developed a friendship with Bob, seemingly platonic according to Daniel, where they'd play board games and spend time together.[1]

After Nancy's passing, Bob served as a patron for Daniel's music career, paying up to $2,000 for the production of his first and most famous song, "Roaring Thunder," as well as "Something More." Bob has also paid for some of Daniel’s food and travel expenses, but Daniel has done nothing but take his generosity for granted by frequently getting into arguments with him, assaulting him, and gambling away money Bob gives him.

Fights

July 9, 2022

On July 9, 2022, Daniel posted a series of cryptic videos[2] claiming that he and Bob had gotten into a physical altercation outside a movie theater which resulted in extensive damage to Bob's car.

Daniel Later claimed that Bob had driven away from Denver, and was heading south away from Colorado. He also claimed that Bob was selling his residence in Denver and moving out of the area, the veracity of these claims are debatable. Daniel blamed his fans for the fight, further claiming that people taking photos of them caused the fight, but there is no proof that these claims are true, and the real cause of the incident remains unknown.

After the fight, Daniel posted a TikTok video claiming that Bob was missing. He hadn't heard from him in days, and he once again started blaming the fans for the fight/disappearance. Although it seemed likely that Bob had, at least for the time being, cut off all contact with Daniel and was trying to distance himself from him after the violent incident, this period of isolation did not last long however.

Daniel would end up fighting Bob yet again months later. The cause of the altercation is unknown. Daniel became hysterical in Bob's car, claiming that the motel he had planned to stay at, "...threatened to kill me." This time the results would be a lot less favorable for Daniel, ending with Bob threatening to call the police if Daniel refused to leave his car after he physically assaulted him. Interestingly, this incident also occurred in a movie theater parking lot. Because of this, Bob would end up flying Daniel out to Los Angeles, the reason for this still being unknown.

September 2, 2023

On September 2nd, 2023, Daniel and Bob had a fight in the car. After the fight, Bob pushed Daniel out of his car and accidentally ran over Dan's toes as he sped off. Daniel calls Bob a "fucker!" as he leaves as well as the n word. In a video posted later, Daniel explains that he and Bob have "temporarily" cut contact. [1]

Post Fight Involvement

Despite Bob’s issues with Daniel, he has continued to support him. After Daniel broke his phone during his world tour in Texas, Bob bought Daniel a new one.

Bob cut off all contact with Daniel starting in May of 2023, but seemed to have become a part of his life again- evidence for this includes September 2 as well as the Big Dick Muscle Man Incident. However, it seems Bob has truly cut contact after Sept 2nd.
