On Tuesday, Naya Rivera’s father, George Rivera, posted several tweets suggesting that Murphy did not reach out to the family and has not followed up on his commitment to providing a college fund for Naya’s son Josey.
Naya’s dad, George, went off on Murphy on Twitter, saying … “Everyone needs to know what Ryan Murphy really did … or didn’t do !!! I’m about to blow up this story …. and make sure he’s knows that I know ….” He added, “When you are part of the Hollywood elite, some people treat others as they are ‘less than.’ Vocalize a good game, but it’s as shallow as the sets on stage that they create. Promises made in public, only to fade with time and excuses. Even in an unexplainable tragedy.”When one fan straight up asked, “Did they never open the trust fund for Josey?”, George responded, “Hahaaaaa.”
As we previously reported, when the singer died of a drowning accident back in July, Ryan, along with two other Glee creators, released a joint statement: “Our hearts go out to her family, especially her mom, Yolanda, who was a big part of the Glee family, and her son Josey. The three of us are currently in the process of creating a college fund for the beautiful son Naya loved most of all.” Apparently, they didn’t stick to their word according to the late actress’s dad. Murphy is how speaking out to set the record straight.
He tweeted,
“Myself, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan have committed to create a college fund for Naya Rivera’s child Josey through the Naya Rivera Estate Trust,” he said. “We have been in repeated conversations with the appropriate executors of her estate.”
