Ryan Murphy responds after Naya Rivera’s father implies that he and Glee creators defaulted on promise to establish college fund for late star’s son Josey

Ryan Murphy on Tuesday responded to social media posts from Naya Rivera’s father George implying that he and Glee co-creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan defaulted on promise to establish college fund for late star’s five-year-old son Josey Dorsey.

George on Tuesday responded to a tweet detailing how the Glee co-creators were ‘setting up a college fund for’ Josey after Rivera’s death at 33 last July in an accidental drowning while she was out on a pontoon boat ride with her son in Lake Piru, California.

‘Everyone needs to know what Ryan Murphy really did … or didn’t do!!!’ George said in a tweet. ‘I’m about to blow up this story …. and make sure he’s knows that I know ….’

He wrote to another user, ‘When you are part of the Hollywood elite, some people treat others as they are “less than” …. vocalize a good game, but it’s as shallow as the sets on stage, that they create. Promises made in public, only to fade with time and excuses …. even in a unexplainable tragedy …’

He added, ‘Broken Promises….. fake outrage …. hollow gestures ….. no phone call.’

Murphy, 55, subsequently responded to the stir, claiming that he and his co-creators have been working on the estate through other channels.

‘Myself, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan have committed to create a college fund for Naya Rivera’s child Josey through the Naya Rivera Estate Trust,’ he said. ‘We have been in repeated conversations with the appropriate executors of her estate.’

The Glee creators released a detailed statement after authorities confirmed her death last summer, saying that ‘it didn’t take more than an episode or two for us to realize that we had lucked into finding one of the most talented, special stars we would ever have the pleasure of working with.’

Murphy, Falchuk and Brennan said, ‘Our hearts go out to her family, especially her mom Yolanda, who was big part of the Glee family and her son Josey. The three of us are currently in the process of creating a college fund for the beautiful son Naya loved most of all.’
