One has seen that under the guise of pretending like some here give a damn about mental health, they have literally taken digs at someone who passed away and have spared no effort to protect the very system that is riddled with issues that can impact one's mental health.
Agree with you about both points. But everyone, including you and me, were scrambling for answers, in the wake of the sudden death. People were hurt and confused and very angry.
In that atmosphere, when people start implying that industry people or even certain producers killed him or abetted his death, an allegation to which there is just no basis legally (although they absolutely did smear him with MeToo and no doubt about the dirty PR hits) and then this track overtakes the entire case and spotlight in the media, then you are denying immediate justice to the family who want to find out who äbetted his death.
They were NOT interested in industry politics, difficult and unfair as it was for SSR to endure, the family knew what immediate triggers and pushes led him to his death. That is also what the law is interested in. You read the family lawyer- family didnt like the fact the investigation was looking at industry stuff. Does this mean they were not aware of how hurt SSR must've been with the allegations? Of course not! But they wanted to get to the culprits and motives of the death, rather than anything else.
Beyond this, of course the industry should change!! And it is really cruel to suggest that film politics had no impact on him! But any introspection or change takes time, that too systemic change. I'm glad we are on the road to some change, or people are discussing this in reasonable tones. I dont see blind items happening any time soon. Thank god!
But we need to be clear when we are talking about a criminal case, because words and allegations in the public domain have legal consequences for people!
