Jul. 26, 2021 "Amanda Kloots hits back at critics who say she's dating 'too soon' after husband's death": Today I found this article by Ellie Spina on Yahoo News:
Amanda Kloots is hitting back at critics who think she is moving on "too fast" after the death of her husband, Nick Cordero.
The 38-year-old recently revealed in an interview with The Talk that after losing her husband in July 2020 due to COVID-19 complications, she has decided to start dating again.
"I've never actually had to date and I just started dating again and it is so crazy to be dating for the first time at 39 years old," she revealed. "And it's quite terrifying and really out of your element. It's hard, it is hard."
"It's wonderful people I'm meeting and it's been a great process so far but I will just say it's very hard without getting into too many details. It's very hard," she added.
Kloots's announcement was met with criticism and accusations suggesting that she is moving on too quickly since the passing of Cordero. Fortunately, the TV personality was not afraid to shut down the haters.
"Dating already? Wow, that was fast," someone commented, to which Kloots reacted by sharing a screenshot of the comment to her Instagram story, along with her response.
"A comment on my recent post. Please read below," she wrote to her more than 674,000 followers. "How dare you judge anyone, especially someone going through this process."
"I will address this soon guys, I promise. There's too much to say and too much that widows deal with to not talk about it," she continued. "Until then I will call out anyone who is rude enough to comment like this."
Kloots's response to the criticism has earned a ton of support on social media.
"Nick isn't walking in the door any time soon. She can grieve for the rest of her life and still start dating again," someone tweeted.
"No one gets to judge her timeline," wrote another.
"Good for her! She deserves to go out and as Nick’s song says 'Live Your Life.' Her taking that step and going on a date after the year she’s had — whether it’s for coffee, a drink, dinner, or whatever — does not affect these opinionated peoples’ lives, so they can just shut it!," one person sounded off.
"After what this poor woman endured last year, how could anyone wish her anything but happiness?" another Twitter user chimed in.
Back in April, Kloots opened up to Us Weekly about navigating life after losing her husband, and what her grieving process has been like.
“A lot of people have said to me, ‘It gets easier [and] time helps,’ and I don’t know if I found that yet. I still pretty much cry every day. It’s growing pains,” she said.
My opinion: I don't know who she was until I read this article. This has been a year since her husband died. That seems to be a long enough time. However, I am not one to judge and no one can really judge this unless you are a widow and have gone through something like this before.
There is the saying: "Time doesn't heal all wounds. It's about what you do with that time, that matters."
Hopefully, she got counselling.
Jun. 18, 2022: I also agree with this opinion:
"Good for her! She deserves to go out and as Nick’s song says 'Live Your Life.' Her taking that step and going on a date after the year she’s had — whether it’s for coffee, a drink, dinner, or whatever — does not affect these opinionated peoples’ lives, so they can just shut it!," one person sounded off.
My opinion: How does anyone's dating affect your life? I say: "Do whatever makes you happy as long as it's not hurting yourself or others.
Jul. 7, 2022 "'One Tree Hill' star Bevin Prince's husband dead after being struck by lightning": Today I found this article by Taryn Ryder on Yahoo news:
Actress Bevin Prince's husband, William Friend, died after being struck by lightning. He was 33.
Friend was killed on Sunday, according to the National Lightning Safety Council, while boating near Masonboro Island in North Carolina. Wilmington, North Carolina news station WECT reports civilians flagged down marine police during a routine patrol. EMTs attempted to resuscitate Friend for 20 minutes before he was pronounced dead.
Prince, who appeared as Bevin Mirskey on One Tree Hill from 2003 to 2012, has yet to publicly address the tragedy. The couple's close friend, actress Odette Annable, posted a touching tribute on Wednesday.
"Will, it feels surreal writing this. Mostly because it feels like you were just getting started. The life and love that you gave to my best friend made it feel okay that we were thousands of miles apart. As I sit in your beautiful home, looking out onto the ocean, I keep thinking about what a gift you gave to Bevin," the Supergirl star shared.
"What a gift you gave to everyone who knew you to witness the passion that burned in your soul. The passion to help people, to build your business, to find happiness like I'd never seen from you living in North Carolina with Bevin. You were perfect for her in every way.
You supported her dreams,
you made her feel seen,
you adored her with every bit of your soul
and I will forever be grateful to witness that kind of love," she continued.
Annable is with Prince in North Carolina.
"At only 33 years old, you did it, and you went out like no other in a blaze of glory. May you Rest In Peace you charming, witty, beautiful British man who loved the s*** out of America. I love you," she added.
