A disturbing interview has emerged with Jared Ravizza, the man accused of stabbing multiple people in Massachusetts over the weekend, revealing details about his mental state that led to the crime.
Ravizza, 26, was arrested shortly after allegedly attacking four teenagers inside an AMC movie theater and stabbing a couple at a McDonald’s on Saturday.

The man walked into the AMC movie theater in Braintree (about 15 miles south of Boston), entered one of the theaters without paying and met the victims seemingly at random, police said in a press release.
“Without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stabbed the four young women,” authorities wrote.
Parents of the teenage victims say the attacker was laughing as he hit them.
“My oldest daughter was leaning over to pick something up – he picked her up from behind and then my other daughter on her upper chest, and then my last daughter on her arm, laughing the whole time, and then he grabbed her friend and ran away ,” Lisa Dembowski, mother of three teenagers, told local NBC affiliate WBTS.
The suspect then stabbed a 21- and 29-year-old, again apparently at random, at a McDonald’s in nearby Plymouth.
Police now believe the suspect is also linked to the murder of a man whose body was found in a Connecticut vacation home.
Once identified Saturday night, Ravizza led officers on a high-speed chase in his Porsche through Cape Cod to avoid arrest.
He was detained after crashing into a roadblock and was charged with assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the Plymouth stabbings.
Charges have not yet been announced in relation to the Braintree attack or the holiday home murder.
But before Ravizza was arrested and charged with dozens of crimes, he appears to have tried to change his identity and adopt a new Internet persona.
SUSPECT PREVIOUSLY Nicknamed ‘MASTER OF ALL’
Ravizza, from the wealthy coastal area of Martha’s Vineyard, is reportedly the son of a wealthy mental health professional, according to The Daily Mail.
Just six years ago, his social media profiles appeared to show a typical young Northeastern man, dressed in a polo shirt and khaki shorts, attending the University of Massachusetts.
He was a social media influencer back then, but he was kind of a joke to us.

But more recently, Ravizza’s online profiles have changed drastically.
He grew out his blonde hair and began posting photos in beachwear or topless, often flexing his muscles.
Some images show him wearing lipstick and nail polish, and his popular Instagram profile, with more than 200,000 followers, lists his pronouns as she/her.
In a 2023 piece of puff pastry about Ravizza and the Ravizza Group, his consulting business, he is described as “a jack of all trades and a master of all… with an innate desire to bring out the best in other humans in the most beautiful way “.
The article calls him “a serial entrepreneur and media mogul… who manages marketing business for the company in the US and internationally, primarily in Paris, London, Mumbai and Milan.”
“My essence is divine”, explains Ravizza at a certain point in the interview.
“We are all divine beings, when we access our own divinity we can save ourselves, and there is a sacred world in this deeper state of consciousness,” he explains.
He goes on to define success through health, freedom, and connection – priorities that are at odds with the crimes he has been accused of.
“Success to me is being in your divine genetic code, being healthy, living freely, freeing your spirit,” he added.
“I wake up every day with the intention of growing and evolving deeper into my genetics through health and well-being, and to extend my hand when needed to help others on their journey. That’s the beauty, when we extend our insights and guidance to one another.

FRIENDS TELL A DIFFERENT STORY
Friends on Ravizza’s college lacrosse team described him as “weird” in interviews with The Daily Mail.
“He only studied with us for a semester and then he disappeared off the face of the earth,” Jay Gallipo said.
“He was a social media influencer back then, but he was kind of a joke to us,” he added.
Ravizza reportedly changed his name in Dukes County court last month from Jared Christian Ravizza Jones to Jared Love Jones.
And neighbors told reporters that Ravizza had multiple “bizarre and hostile interactions in public settings,” without providing further details.
Ravizza is scheduled for arraignment in Plymouth District Court on Tuesday.
