In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, Sarah Silverman unveiled the disturbing truth surrounding her brother Jeffrey's death, believed for years to be an accident. Her father revealed that Jeffrey's death was a result of their grandfather's rage, contradicting the family's narrative of a crib accident. Silverman's revelation sheds light on a history of familial abuse and the lasting impact it has had on her and her father's lives. This brutal honesty stems from reflections shared during her autobiographical musical, 'The Bedwetter', and highlights her father's traumatic childhood and the long-standing silence about such painful family truths.
'The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffrey's little body slid and he got suffocated. But if you look back, there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything.'
'My dad says, 'I always felt that he was crying or something, and my dad shook him,' Silverman recalled. 'He shook him in a rage and killed him.'
'As soon as he said it, it was like, 'Of course, that's what happened.' His mother always stood by her husband. She watched him beat the s--- out of her son.'
'His dad beat the s--- out of him every day, just mercilessly. He had a younger brother who wasn't touched. His father made the kids call him Mr. Silverman.'
