Wiki/Biography

Misha Osherovich hails from Maryland, U.S. In 2009, he was diagnosed with an eating disorder and hospitalized.

 

Thereafter, he hopped around various treatment facilities until 2013, essentially missing out on his high school education altogether. As a troubled teenager, Osherovich grew up in long-term residential facilities for teens who were struggling with grades, mental health issues, drugs, nascent queerness, or general bad behavior. His parents hired an escort service that sent Misha across the country to a residential treatment center because, in Misha’s case, it was all of the above ^[1]them.. While describing his horrendous experiences living at residential treatment centers in an interview, he said,

Basically two big, muscly men, they come and take you in the middle of the night without any explanation..There’s guards everywhere, you pee with somebody watching you, you get strip-searched, you get a flashlight shined on you every 15 minutes while you’re sleeping to make sure you haven’t offed yourself. “

Towards the end of his time at a program on the East Coast, Osherovich became outspoken about being gay, which was considered a non-compliance act by the concerned authorities. Consequently, the authorities decided to expel Osherovich sending him to an even more intense wilderness program back in Utah. Upon coming across this news, Osherovich’s mother was devastated. In an interview, Misha said, ^[2]The Salt Lake Tribune

My mom looked at him and told him that at this point, this man had hundreds of thousands of her dollars…So if he was going to expel her child because I was too gay for his taste and send me right back to the beginning, then this was not the place for her child. Because the fact of the matter is — she loves her child.”

Thereafter, his mother decided that Osherovich will be graduating from a normal high school. Later, he pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from Montclair State University. ^[3]Misha Osherovich LinkedIn Account
