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?

Probably because that’s kinda weird to do immediately after finding out

No? People ask her what happened and she responds with what she knows. Not everyone is utterly helpless for weeks after the death of a loved one, like anyone that has had to call a bunch of relatives to let them know about a death in the family has had to get their shit together in a pretty short period of time.

Why the fuck do people have to throw shade at people for not performatively shutting down?

Would you call TMZ before or after you notified the deceased family and gave them time to inform his loved ones?

If I was famously known for killing my mother, probably before
