Ryan Dorsey, Naya Rivera's ex-husband, discussed her tragic death and its lingering impact on him in anticipation of his memoir release. Rivera, famous for her role as Santana Lopez on Glee, drowned in July 2020 while saving her son, Josey. Dorsey recounted how certain songs bring back memories of her and emphasized the weight of their loss. He mentioned how he still feels overwhelmed by the thought of what would have happened if both Rivera and Josey had been lost, highlighting the profound impact of her untimely passing on his life and family.
I'm here in L.A. working at Warner Bros., and Forest Lawn Cemetery [where she's buried] is on the other side. So many songs make me think about her, like Amy Winehouse's 'Valerie,' which she sang on Glee, and 'Sunflower' by [Post Malone and Swae Lee] because I always used to get her sunflowers on Sundays.
If we'd have lost both Naya and Josey, I don't know how I would continue on with my life. I don't know what I would've done, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been good.
