My condolences to your family. It is especially sad when a young parent of very young children dies. I pray for you and for your family.— carmella (@Maddox5525) February 11, 2023
However, some others, like @ArtByCTrimz, firmly don’t feel sorry about Longo’s death. However, they are“terribly sorry his kids have to grow up without a father due to his passing.”
I’ll never understand how people openly support abusers. Cody Longo was charged with domestic violence and assaulting a NINE YEAR OLD GIRL.
I’m terribly sorry his kids have to grow up without a father due to his passing but don’t support abusers !!!!!!

everyone seems all sad about cody longo dying, personally i think we should be talking more about the domestic assault charges as well as the charges of sexual assault of a 9 year old girl
