Glee creators payed tribute to the actor’s contributions to the hit show and announced they were setting up a college fund for Josey. Recent tweets from fans and Rivera’s father, George Rivera, suggested this promise has gone unfulfilled and was just a “hollow gesture.” But this is something Ryan Murphy refutes.
