Fans have taken it to Twitter to express their disappointment and to honor the star since the Grammys didn’t come through. As one fan wrote in response to a tweet from the Recording Acadamy, “You were doing so fine until you decided not to include @NayaRivera in the tribute…not trying to start a fight or anything but I’m really disappointed in this.”
The 'Glee' creator recently came under fire from Naya's father, George Rivera, who accused Ryan of failing to follow through on his promise, but Ryan and his co-creators - Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan - have now revealed they have been making progress on their plans to support the late actress' son
George Rivera spoke out on social media yesterday, saying that Murphy promised to create a college fund for the late actress’ son but he has failed to do so.
“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 ..”, wrote Rivera while responding to a fan who said he should “drag” Murphy for his actions, per
