Selena Gomez Slammed By Suicide Victim’s Father

December 21, 2017 | celebrity | Elliot Wolf | 0 Comments

Since more adults are opting to identify as terrible parents with zero accountability Selena Gomez’s executively produced suicide extravaganza show is getting slammed by some parent. John Herndon alleges his daughter Bella hung herself because of the show. Which is understandable because I too lost the courage to live struggling through that fecal matter officially recognized as the first episode. But I found courage, and the remote. With one brave click of a button, I saved my own life and multiple minutes of my time that I would have never gotten back. 

13 Reasons Why has been renewed for a second season, even though the Netflix series is incredibly controversial for its graphic portrayal of suicide.

The father of a girl who took her own life immediately after watching the first season is railing against Netflix — and against Selena Gomez.

Selena Gomez is an executive producers of 13 Reasons Why. She’s one of seven executive producers, which does not make her some sort of autocrat who controls the series, but she’s definitely the most famous name attached to the show.

John Herndon is a father who discovered his 15-year-old daughter hanging in her closet after apparently having binged 13 Reasons Why. Though Bella was rushed to the hospital, she died 10 days later.

And Selena Gomez’s famous name and famed compassion … well, they’re probably why John Herndon is calling her out in his statement to RadarOnline. And he’s not mincing words, either. “I’m still completely disgusted. Selena makes me sick.”Though we can only imagine Herndon’s level of grief, that’s a very strong statement.”She is an extremely disturbed individual to think that this show has any kind of redeeming social value at all.”

If you’re not familiar with 13 Reasons Why at all it’s generally about a girl who committed suicide and found a way to seek attention while visiting the after-life. Her suicide note was undoubtedly inspired by Blue’s Clues and she managed to blame others for her eventually taking her own life. And everything was recorded on cassette tapes for added inconvenience. No suicide note should have a B-Side. I’m not saying anyone deserves to be bullied but if there ever was a strong case for sticking someone’s head in a toilet for a swirly special it would easily go to this girl. Irresponsible parents who are easily triggered by fiction are going to lead to every form of entertainment being stupid-proofed and sensitivity tested. What happened to being involved as a parent in the entertainment that your child is viewing. Netflix’s monthly subscription offers movies and more, but there still isn’t a package that includes babysitting. Hopefully, Selena’s support of a second season of the show doesn’t lead to him offing himself. But if it does please record yourself blaming Gomez and Netflix on a lossless-compressed format option instead of an 8-track tape.
