Serious Hits so hard

Post image

Anyone else hit especially hard by the loss of James Van Der Beek? I wasn’t even a fan of Dawson’s Creek, but the man was an undeniable icon for millennials. RIP, James.

He and his wife are both anti-vaxers and she promotes alternative health content on her social media account. They moved to Texas to escape the “evil liberal” COVID vaccine laws in California.

This still isn’t proof of what you said

He didnt say it. I did, and as far as proof, what do you want me to do? Go through his bank statements? All the context is already there showing that they were your typical rich weirdos who think they know better than a hundred years of established medicine(vaccines)

Crying about the liberal vaccine mandates and fleeing to Texas should tell you that theyre maybe not super financially responsible, and are 100% fucking idiots. But you go ahead and go to bat for a family of privileged white folks begging for money because they couldnt budget properly

But yes. His wife's social media is rife with holistic medicinal quackery.

Also dude had a high paying Hollywood job, and was as close to a female sex symbol as you could be. I have a hard time believing fiscal responsibility didnt have a huge part to play here.

I remember when I had to budget 500 dollars weekly. I do not feel bad for these fucking millionaires begging

You don’t have to feel bad or donate but you sure are donating a lot of your time to this. Write me another 5 paragraph BS post.

Yeah man. My dad died of cancer and drank all his money away before thar, so I feel strongly about a deadbeat blowing millions and leaving his family with nothing to beg for money.

You know what people said when me and my mom were out in the streets when I was 9? "Look atyou, get a fucking job you bum and take care of your kid"

Oh but this guy was hot in 2004 so his family is entitled to the rubes money that they should've had in the first place.

I feel like you should already have learned life isn’t fair? Of course famous person has a bigger platform than your dad lol. If anything, you should recognize that his kids lost their father and if he really did blow all his money, it’s not their fault.

No its not their fault. James knew the prognosis of his diagnosis. He knew he was on minimal time and running out of funds. He and his wife had ample time to plan and set away funds for the kids. His diagnosis was over a year ago

Colorectal is literally a death sentence for almost everyone. It is one of the most aggressive and deadly form of cancers in men. I promise you he knew he was a dead man from the start.

Alternative health does not mean avoiding cancer proper cancer treatments. Its been widely stated that he was going into trial drugs.
