The internet has an opinion on everything… and social media has become a breeding ground for those who LOVE to give unsolicited advice… everything from a person’s weight, relevancy to what color lipstick they have on… nothing is off limits when it comes to the typical internet troll… including how someone GRIEVES!!
People posted on the Instagram of Sophie, Luke Perry’s daughter, saying that fans seemed more upset about his death than she did. What, is she supposed to post pictures where she’s sobbing on his grave? Sophie clapped back in an Instagram post saying
“Since my dad died I have received a lot of attention online. And most of it has been positive but of course, some people just can’t be nice. And I’m here to say that I did not ask for this attention, I did not ask to be thrown into some virtual spotlight, and while I don’t mean to offend anybody, I’m also not going to cater to any one else’s needs and beliefs. I’m 18. I swear like a sailor and sometimes I dress like a hooker. And I support causes and you may not. And most importantly. I am going to laugh and smile and live my normal life. YES I am hurt and sad and crying and beside myself with what happened to my dad. It’s the worst thing to ever happen in my life. And I am torn the fuck up over it. But I’m not going to sit in my room and cry day in and day out until the internet has deemed it appropriate for me to do otherwise. And if you knew my dad you would know he wouldnt want me to. So you shouldn’t either. So to those of you shaming me for my language and my wardrobe and most disgustingly, my grieving process, do us both the favor and just unfollow. It’s a waste of both of your time.”
If a parent of yours died, would you want someone invading your life to tell you you weren’t crying enough? Everyone grieves in their own way, so this makes me SO sad for Sophie!
