Amber Riley and Kevin McHale: Stop judging Glee stars who haven't spoken out about Naya Rivera's disappearance

The A.V. Club

"Show some respect," tweeted Riley after fellow Glee stars received criticism for not speaking out about Rivera. "All our energy is going toward helping find Naya and praying for her safe return and for her family. No one owes anyone online a performance of grief. This is very real and devastating. Focus on Naya and her family. Not us. We don’t matter right now." Fellow Glee alum McHale retweeted Riley, adding: "I cannot begin to understand what Naya’s family must be feeling. I know the rest of us are completely shattered, but not without hope. Please respect her family & their privacy in this moment. Please refrain from judging those who don’t show their pain on social media."
