Name that plant

What kind of plant is this and what is wrong with it?

Lisa Griffin Unregistered says:

This is spiderwort. It will take over any area quickly… especially in full sun.

Linda Unregistered says:

These can become very invasive. They sprig up every where with roots that tend to break as you are trying to dig them up.

Maybe a type of spiderwort (Tradescantia), possible the species T. virginiana? Regrettably I can’t tell “what is wrong with it?” I’m wondering perhaps some type of leaf-spotting fungus? Copy & paste the included link below for more information of T. virginiana. Best wishes!
