river really was just a sweet boy who was taken advantage of and exploited by most adults in his life. his mom was the worst offender. no child should feel like it’s their responsibility to feed and clothe their entire family but that’s what he believed. that’s what he was taught
his parents treated him like fucking baby jesus and acted like it was his job to save the world. he was in one toxic environment to the next. and everywhere he went he felt like it was up to him to take care of everyone else. but who was there to take care of him?
fuck everyone who posts his family photos. his parents were abusive and negligent. his family still makes money off his name and his activism. his siblings are still friends with the person who introduced him to drugs. the phoenixes are honestly a cult in their own right
i’ve held my tongue way too long but idc anymore. river even said that acting wasn’t his choice but he had to do it to provide for his family. he wanted to get out of la and have his own life. i have no doubt that he loved his family but they hurt and betrayed him. fuck them all
like there is literally no way you can tell me that a 17 year old boy buying his whole family a ranch with his own money and them letting homeless people live there too because “river can pay for everything” isn’t abusive and exploitative as hell. he was a baby!
i’m not going to get into his death but just know it wasn’t his choice to go there that night and that he was conscious the entire time his siblings and “friends” neglected to get him help and lied about his condition so paramedics were not prepared to treat an overdose
also. fuck samantha mathis. she’s complicit as well. she knows who killed river because she saw it happen. she conveniently “didn’t remember” when she spoke about him 2 years ago because she’s a liar
everyone in river’s life with the exception of keanu and william richert did not have his best interests in mind. his mom was like any other abusive stage mom but she used being a hippie vegan to try and hide it. she still does. she’s disgusting
river’s father was the “better” parent who didn’t seem to agree with river’s fame but “heart” wore the pants in the marriage. john enabled river to drink and told william richert he must be “river’s real father” in front of river. but he’s also the only one who wanted justice
joaquin is the one who dragged river to the viper room because he needed someone over 21 to get in. he’s the one who waited almost a half hour to call 911 and then lied about river’s condition. said he was epileptic. if he admitted river had overdosed, he may have received narcan
joaquin also lied on river’s name fairly recently and said he was “just joking” about being abused as a kid. i believe joaquin and his sisters will always do their mother’s bidding
rain is good friends with flea, who introduced river to drugs. she commented a heart on flea’s post about john frusciante rejoining the chili peppers. frusciante is the one who killed river. rain used river’s name to promote her own music. she’s as phony as they come
the red hot chili peppers are disgusting people. river looked up to them because they were real rock stars. all he wanted the night he died was to play music with his friends. that’s what he thought they were- his friends. he was a good friend; they were vultures
there’s not much i can really say about liberty and summer but i don’t trust them either. all of the phoenix kids were brainwashed. and river, who loved his family so deeply, was so close to getting the fuck away from them. he was breaking free
his mother is absolutely tapped. who says this about their dead child? river didn’t die to make people more aware of environmental issues. he died because someone he trusted and called a friend poisoned him. this is what martha meant when she said “river wasn’t a martyr”
it’s crazy how river’s father was ready to kill frusciante after river died so “heart” decided to get a divorce and started dating a kid who couldn’t have been much older than river had been. they’re still together- she’s 75 and he looks about 40 which is how old summer is
