Food Network alum Dorzon is now on the mend after suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

He broke his silence on the arrest in a statement to Instagram on Tuesday, July 1.

"I know people might expect me to say a lot today… but truthfully, I don’t have much to say," he said.

"Because how do you put words to something like this?

There’s no training for getting shot. No script for learning how to live with it. I’m still figuring out how to feel. Still learning how to breathe in this new version of my life.

BREAKING HIS SILENCE

"But I do know this—God had His hand on me that night. He covered me. He covered us. And I thank Him every single day for keeping me here."

He said his recovery has been "rough" and full of "pain."

"Rehab has been rough. Real rough. Waking up in pain. Adjusting to a body that doesn’t move like it used to. Learning how to sleep with one eye open. Watching my back in places I used to feel safe. That part hurts," he continued.

"But I’m still here. Still standing. Still cooking. Still chasing greatness. And I’m not stopping.

"To everyone who’s prayed for me, checked on me, loved on me—thank you. That love kept me alive too.

"I’m giving it all to God. And I’m giving the rest to the fire that still burns in me to be the greatest chef to ever do it.

"We’re not done yet. Not even close."

Before his turn as a celebrity chef and restaurateur, he was a NFL football player.
