Naya Rivera’s father, George Rivera, has claimed Ryan Murphy hasn’t followed through on promises he made to support Naya’s son, Josey, after the late actor’s tragic death. Rivera made these claims on Twitter yesterday, saying, “Everyone needs to know what Ryan Murphy really did…or didn’t do!!! I’m about to blow up this story…and make sure he knows that I know….”

He added, “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 onstage that they create. Promises made in public, only to fade with time and excuses…even in an unexplainable tragedy….”

Rivera also wrote, “Broken promises…fake outrage…hollow gestures…no phone call,” and said “Hahaaaa” in response to a follower who asked, “Did they never open the trust fund for Josey? Omg.”

Murphy has since responded to the claims on Twitter, writing, “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. We have been in repeated conversations with the appropriate executors of her estate.”

After Naya’s death, the Glee creators issued a joint statement announcing they’d be making a college fund for Josey, saying, “The three of us are currently in the process of creating a college fund for the beautiful son Naya loved most of all.”
