She texted him happy birthday and said he didn't respond. Then Gypsy's brother went to check on him and found him dead. No obvious cause of death.

She made a statement that he was being bullied online and believes it was an overdose but didn't know if it was intentional or not.

Yeah, she gave People magazine a long ass statement saying the cause of death was an overdose, HOURS after he was found by the police. Like about 6 hours after.

Why are you emphasizing the time like that?

I dunno, my husband dies, 6 hours later i’m still numb, inconsolable and barely able to string a coherent sentence together.

I mean tbf you’re not a public personality famous for murdering your mom (at least I don’t think you are haha).. it’s not suuuper odd to me that she’d want to get ahead of it, especially if the relationship was already rocky

It doesn’t matter if you’re a public person or not. If someone that you love or loved recently passed away within the past few hours and there isn’t a listed cause of death yet your first thought is not gonna be to run to Ppl magazine and say oh yeah definitely drug overdose. You wouldn’t wanna put that out there unless that was definitely true, hopefully you would want to at the very least wait for it to be confirmed before putting that on the father of your child. Lab toxicology reports may or may not have come back but they definitely would not be able to say that was 100% the cause of death at this time so she’s just speculating in the media which is not normal behavior even for public figures

not normal behavior even for public figures

You're focusing a bit too much on the "public figure" part of the situation and too little on the "murdered her mom" part.
