“This is by far the cheesiest, most classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life. We all had to sign a weird NDA to attend his funeral (even his own mother who you treated like trash this whole time and let’s remember you wouldn’t have even had a husband without her) to not share what either or spoil his name like it was on someone’s mind in the first place and there you go, writing a book with all the dirty laundry smearing his name and trying to dim the bright, loyal, loving light what was your husband, my friend. Whether any of this is true or not is irrelevant,” Platt wrote in part. “This is how you protect the “boss name” that you so quickly dropped on your social media platforms 48 hours after his death? His legacy? This is how you protect his children from further humiliation, hurt and despair? Is that what you want them to remember about him? You’ve moved on, you’re living your life, you’re on every mat you can get on, in every celebrity row you can sit in, in every magazine you can be in and you needed to do this? Get a journal, a therapist, a friend…but publish a book shamelessly sharing the pages of your husband’s journal? A celebrity magazine? What a joke…”
