By Courtney Hazlett, TODAYJason Russell, the co-founder of the non-profit Invisible Children and the creator of the viral-video campaign KONY 2012 (http://invisiblechildren.com/kony/), is speaking out for the first time since his very public meltdown.
Russell gained worldwide attention early this year with his campaign calling for the arrest of Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony. In March, he drew attention of a different kind when a video out of San Diego showed him naked, slapping the street and acting strangely. He was eventually detained and taken to a medical facility, and at the time, exhaustion was blamed.
Now, Russell talks to Oprah Winfrey in a new episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter," saying that the person people saw in the moments before he was detained was not really him.
