he kinda has a point but things are always gonna be more sensitive when you're talking about a young man in his 20s who ended his own life.

Hes comparing it to an "exclusive" of a senior citizen who died  of natural causes .... Bad comparison tbh and ultimately there's no "better" way or "better" circumstance to rush and report someone's death for clicks and views ...

But people are much more likely to call you out on reporting suicide of a young guy before his family's able to gather themselves and announce it themselves. Fingers are gonna be wagged at you. If you don't like it I would find another line of work where people's pain, misfortune and misery isn't a driving force of revenue and added zeros to your paycheck. 🤷🏾

Until then, accept what comes with the territory toots.

!!!!!!!

They're all tryna give an unbothered tea but these responses look a lil different.  I wonder if B.Scott will try and distance from these writers a bit, even tho they likely approved these posts to begin with. I know sometimes on their podcast, Scott says they aren't always aware of posts before they go up

It could have been brought on by anything.. .not necessarily depression.

He could have been on a new medication that had a side effect of "Sucidal Idolization" for example

i'd say it depends ....obviously a tough situation for her but she may not spend the rest of her life asking "why"...some people have the strength to accept things for what they are.

im sure now acceptance may be the furthest thing from her mind but it may come eventually.

at some point some people realize drowning themselves in "whys" with something so hurtful is no way to live their life. im hoping acceptance comes for her, because no amount of questions will breathe air back into his body.

she needs to get into therapy ASAP. if i were her friend that would be my advice.

People posting hurtful shit like that is probably one of the reasons why he checked out. This world is dark and evil. People are giving up. And he had a lot going for himself too he was a musician, attractive, young and the son of Regina King.
