This is so sad. I was hoping he'd beat the cancer.
Not Dawson :stressed:

Damn, I hate this. He was stellar in 'Don't Trust the Bitch In Apartment 23'
He was such a handsome and unproblematic guy. I followed him on IG and he was always so positive and uplifting. I feel for his family. All those kids.
Wow RIP King
Glad the cast was able to get together one last time before he passed
Cancer is hell
Oh what the fuck
RIP
Varsity Blues was my shit
The way I just gasped
So sad. When I saw how cancer had him looking just recently, I knew it was almost time

I follow him on IG and I remember his family moving to Texas. I'm not sure of the reason, but cost of living could definitely be a factor. Especially since they have like 6 kids.
He was a working actor, but that doesn't say much these days. The gorls in the industry aren't clearing checks these days like they used to.
This country is trash fr.
this is hella saddening. prayers to his family.

Some things should be kept to yourself. Just my opinionata.
It could also be my bias talking because I can't really stand Alfonso anyway.

bitch can u be my secretary mess?
but in all seriousness
i think long dramatic essays on social media for birthdays, deaths, etc. are dated in 2026
short and sweet is in. IMO
especially considering people's attention spans on social media are as a fraction of what it used to be years ago
anything more than that, u run the risk of being seen as performative
the text equivalent of crying as you record yourself on your phone.

I don't think that's the main issue hun
It's about making it all about yourself.
"Oh i'm so sad he/she's passed away. I'm heartbroken because when I was little my family (...) and I suffered so much (...) I posted this picture with him/her (...) I learned, I cried, I suffered, I did this, I did that, oh and RIP I guess"The worst kind of people.

unless it's an immediate family member i dont see how thats called for either
and honestly that still kinda goes back to what i said about keeping it short and sweet
if you simply type "rest in peace, terrific guy" and call it a day - there's not even a chance for u to wander off into making it about yourself.
sdjsdnnsjdjnsdjnsdjsdjnsdjns
as i mentioned : the more u write in an instance like that, the more u run the risk of turning it into a performance
i prefer to keep it clean, simple, classy with a touch of empathy of course.
member of my old church family passed recently and i simply added to what her niece said...... in a comment to HER post.
although i knew her well, no need to get dramatic and AHHHH OMG! NOOOOOOOO!!!! lemme MAKE A POST!!!!!! 😫 😫
acknowledge the tea and move along.
most important thing is the family knows your heart is with them. kii'ing online and addressing real life loss are two TOTALLY different things.

Now wait...the plot thickens :diddraispoot:

It's almost like he wants people to know how close they were.

right
if you actually read what he's writing, he's actually keeping it focused on james and his family for the most part. but it's just super cringe.
and i hate to try and dictate how people should grieve, but these long drawn out posts/pics combined with what we already know about the real life Carlton Banks is what I think is making this cringe-tastic.
i actually think if you took out Alfonso and replaced him with someone like Will in the same exact posts/pics, the optics would come off SO much differently. especially that death bed pic

Alfonso is definitely his character in real life from Fresh Prince.
Quote from: Lazarus on February 13, 2026, 05:34:38 AMAlfonso is definitely his character in real life from Fresh Prince.
James purchased a $4.8 million dollar home one month before he died
i knew he had to have SOME type of trick up his sleeve
knowing he was about to leave his 6 kids and wife to fend for themselves
whether this was a smart move or not is yet to be determined but i was thinking there was no way he was just laying around preparing to CROAK without trying or doing SOMETHING substantial
https://www.tmz.com/2026/02/13/james-van-der-beek-purchased-texas-ranch-before-dying/
I don't respect that, they could've downsized and adjusted their lifestyle a bit. Did it HAVE to be a $5M home? :uhh:
Don't respect what? Did I miss s report saying they were broke and destitute?
Asking for donations to cover medical bills while purchasing a $5M home is something.
Quote from: Vonc2002 on Today at 03:47:46 PMDon't respect what? Did I miss s report saying they were broke and destitute?
the GoFundMe statement literally says they're "out of funds"
dsffddssssdds
and the wife has not moved to correct that if it's untrue.
so if the gorls are asking questions i'd say that's reasonable
maybe there's a lot more to the story. i mean purchasing a $4.8M home doesn't mean he had 4.8M in the bank - unless he purchased it flat out which is unlikely . just means he was able to qualify for the tea somehow and give a down payment before he passed
the optics are definitely raising valid questions tho.
I have thoughts but I don't feel like going on and on. I definitely think James' cancer struggles were a financial strain and it was very nice for a friend to make a gofundme to get them some money😁
im leaning more towards "strategic chess move" instead of "that man lied to the gorls"
he was a dying man about to leave his wife and SIX kids. the sense of guilt had to be overwhelming, even if he knew the circumstances were out of his control.
who knows what measures he was prepared to take to make sure his family was taken care of
there coulda been things done that the wife didn't even know about tbh.
when the story first popped i had a feeling there was more to this than just "he was broke, auctioning his things off and then died. family hits dead end!"
finding out there's a wild card isn't surprising . but a 4.8M wildcard is a tea sdsdddddsdsdd
im dying to know what the specific strategy was here.
