Page 10 | None of the Friends Co stars have posted anything on Instagram about Matthew Perry's death

Maybe they have posted elsewhere, just find it strange that none of them appear to have acknowledged it on Instagram, especially as they all seem to be pretty active on there.

Some people find it helpful to post when someone dies, I personally don’t at all and I’d hate the idea that something I say will be interpreted and torn apart, especially when it was so sudden.

fear not OP He will be flying high with the angles and you can hug your family tighter tonight
so it's all good

😃😃😃

Seriously, Emma Willis has the right idea.

I suspect that the five costars will post something when they feel up to it. Maybe jointly.

Moirarosesgarden · 30/10/2023 11:12

I read they are preparing a joint statement

That what I read too.

In the nicest possible way OP…the same thing that is driving your desire to see his friends grieve publicly for you, is the same thing that causes rags like the Daily Mail to reveal the 911 call recording (as they just have today) to feed an audience hungry for any tidbit and detail about this poor man’s untimely death.

It’s grief and tragedy as a public spectacle for us all to feel part of and connected to, when actually we have no right to be. Just imagine how that poor man’s family and friends feel right now being dragged into a feeding frenzy where millions of strangers want more and more and more and more of what is really just a very simple and very sad ending for the person they knew and loved.

You may feel like you were asking with a simple human curiosity, I expect you’re lovely and kind in real life and I’m sure you meant no harm to anyone at all, but it’s all part of this bigger problem isn’t it.

@MajorBarbara well I don't view this as like my personal Social Media accounts, it's a forum and anonymous.

Luckily for you.

I haven't said a thing on this thread that I am ashamed of, sorry about or would take back.

What Emma Willis posted about all of this was perfect.

Agree and just in case anyone else made the same mistake (or maybe was just me), this is Bruce Willis' wife Emma Willis and not the UK one married to Busted's Matt Willis!

IlikePinaColada84 · 30/10/2023 14:19

They are putting together a joint statement.

spitefulandbadgrammar · 30/10/2023 14:20

Maybe they’re just deciding which filter? You can put music over Instagram posts now too: Chandler walking off hand on hand with Paddington, little snippet from “I’ll Be There For You”, hashtag #friends

WeCanCallItEven · 30/10/2023 14:20

OP, you say you were 'pondering' rather than complaining that the Friends cast haven't posted, but let's face it - what you were implying was that they don't care enough / the friendship wasn't genuine / insert gossip here. And you won't be the only one by a long shot. These people have to not only experience their grief, but face scrutiny and judgement and criticism for how they process it at the same time. Everyone leaping on what they say, what they don't say in great detail and drawing all sorts of conclusions from it. I can't imagine how much harder that makes it for them.

Zimunya · 30/10/2023 14:22

I simply don't understand this new world in which we are all condemned to share every single emotion on Instagram / FB and in public. People grieve differently. They knew him well, loved him, and will be devastated. Isn't that enough?

MummyJ12 · 30/10/2023 14:26

@Lovelyautumncolours yes that Emma Willis. Sorry for any confusion! I almost put that it was Bruce Willis’ wife Emma (but then wondered if I would be minimising her a little if I did that). Totally forgot for a minute that there was another Emma Willis…..! 💗

I wish they'd show it again

Excellent programme. Shame it never got the ratings it deserved

Show quote history

It was indeed an excellent programme. I had forgotten that he was also in "The West Wing" as Joe Quincy, in Episodes 20 and 21 of Season 4 and Episode 7 of Season 5, all available on Amazon Prime (or Freevee) at the moment.

Oh yes. I've watched the WW dozens of times (literally!) He was an excellent 'straight' actor too

Although he still used his signature 'sarcasm' in the role I never once thought of him as Chandler

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 30/10/2023 14:36

As soon as they comment, whether individually or as a group it will be everywhere and perhaps they need to take a moment and catch their breath?

Tinklyheadtilt · 30/10/2023 14:37

Perhaps social media isn't the first thing on their mind after their friend died. Jesus wept OP.

CarlosDisagrees · 30/10/2023 14:39

With that I’m mind, maybe you should ask mumsnet to remove the thread. Unless you’re enjoying the attention it’s bringing you?

Itiswhatitis85 · 30/10/2023 14:47

@CarlosDisagrees yes loving the negative/ passive aggressive comments like yours, not!
I've only ever asked Mumsnet to remove a thread before as I thought someone I know would read it and know it was about them.
I don't feel the need to have the thread removed but obvs Mumsnet can remove it if goes against guidelines, I don't care either way.

Have you ever lost a close friend or relative did you immediately go on to social media to acknowledge it

@Differentstarts touch wood , I have not yet lost a close friend or relative yet and I'm not sure I would post about it if I did.

Any attention is a positive for some people and I think that’s the case here. How sad.

It isn't about 'posting' about it, it is however completely normal for celebs to release statements when someone has sadly died.

tinytemper66 · 30/10/2023 14:57

TheFlis · 30/10/2023 11:18

Social media would be the last thing I would be worrying about if one of my closest friends died suddenly.

I never put anything on SM when my dad died. People tagged me to say sorry for my loss but I never wrote about my dad. Grief is personal and o don't blame them for keeping quiet. People will probably slag them
Off it they had posted yesterday morning.

ManchesterLu · 30/10/2023 15:03

It's absolutely nobody else's business how individuals choose to grieve.

It's a shame that they have to work on a joint statement when they've got so much on their minds. They don't owe the public - who didn't know their friend - anything.
