Minutes after the news of his death broke out, Kelsie spoke at length about the situation, rumours and lack of privacy. Taking to her Instagram, she posted, "First off I’ve been advised not to speak up by plenty of parties. I can’t sit back and let this narrative being created go on. The love of my life is GONE. the man I lay with and cuddle every single night…is no longer here. I want to ask for respect and privacy I won’t because I will always defend my baby. I don’t condone this s*** in anyway shape form, or fashion. I am sick to my stomach. I don’t wish this on any one. My brain is all over the place, this is a total nightmare but I’m gonna get this off. I don’t even have time to grieve or say my respects in the right manner because I am defending myself, being attacked by people who are creating weird and sick rumors."
