Ryan Dorsey Shuts Down Rumors; Says His Son Wanted Them To Live with Naya Rivera’s Sister

Written By @cabbagepatchgrl

Ryan Dorsey took to Instagram in an emotional video earlier this week to respond to rumors that he had moved in with his ex-wife’s little sister, Nickayla Rivera. He said, “It’s not always black and white.”

In the lengthy 12-minute video, he said, “I can’t believe this is real life and that I am about to even address any of this nonsense.”

”I usually don’t read comments on my own stuff because I just know how there can be 50 good things said and five negative ones and somehow, as humans, we get those five negative ones stuck in our heads, but it was brought to my attention that there’s a lot of people that have a lot to say and have opinions on a family’s tragic situation,” he continued.

In the video, Dorsey attempts to describe the pain he feels, knowing that his son will grow up without a mother. He then gives credit to his own mother for helping him get through this tough situation, remembering that Josey will never have Naya to do that with. He said he’s lost “a little over 20 pounds” since Naya’s tragic death, and claimed the controversial decision to move in with Nickayla was all on his son, as he wanted his ‘Titi’ to move in.

“To have a young woman who is his blood, his Titi, who’s willing to put her life on hold and sacrifice things, uproot her situation for the betterment of your child, so when you put your child to bed, you don’t have to be alone with your thoughts, and you don’t have to be sad every day and night wondering when does it get better. At least you have someone there with you to talk to or just sit in silence and be sad with. You don’t have to deal with it completely alone,” Dorsey said.

He also made it clear that a relationship is not on his mind right now. He said, “I wish I was worried about a relationship right now, not thinking about this and living with this every day.”

“I also hope if you ever have to deal with anything tragic, that you’ll have peace and never have people following you and taking pictures and creating a false narrative based on an angle of a photo of two people grieving, who have been living their lives out of suitcases and just trying to get settled into a new place while grabbing a couple of things at Target for a young boy’s birthday party that we’re trying to put together,” he added, referring to photos that surfaced of the two holding hands.
