During the premiere of “Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee: Uncensored” on Fox Soul, Floyd, 43, sat down with Lee and co-hosts DJ Damage and Blue Telumsa and shared how he processed Joie’s death and how he made it through. He told the hosts: “it was strong women around me” who helped him during that tough time.
While trying to share more, Floyd took a moment to gather his words as he became emotional: “I got to take my time when I talk about this,” he said before continuing. “Everything I asked for in life any and everything I thought about in life, I got. And I’ll say this everyday: just for her to come back, I’ll give it all, man.” Floyd went on to share that he “replayed this over and over and over in my head a thousand times and one thing I always say, God don’t make mistakes, everything happens for a reason.” He then took a deep breath and admitted that “it’s tough. Everyday I think about it, it’s tough. It’s very very touchy.”
Lee noted that Floyd usually pays for a lot of funerals but doesn’t attend them. However, it was important for him to show up and show out for Josie: “I had to,” Floyd said adding that her funeral was “beautiful.” “She was a great woman so I couldn’t put her in the ground. I didn’t want to throw dirt on her: a beautiful spirit a beautiful person, we couldn’t throw dirt on her. So, I got her a mausoleum.” He said that he also got her a white horse, casket and carriage that his daughter picked out. “When we went up the hill and let the doves go, it was good.”
Harris was 40 when she was found dead March 10 in her car that was parked in the driveway of her Southern California home. The cause of death was not released at the time because law enforcement placed a security hold on the case. However, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, it was revealed that she died from an accidental drug overdose. To watch more of this interview, click the video below.
