‘There’s a lot of people that I think would show up that I don’t want there. I don’t want them there because their reasons for showing up aren’t necessarily the best reasons,’ she explained. 

‘Like, they don’t really like me and, you know, they have their reasons and good for them, but they don’t actually really like me enough to show up to my funeral,’ she went on.

The 53-year-old went on express that some would attend her memorial services  our of ‘pressure.’ 

She said: ‘[They’ll show up] because it’s the politically correct thing to do, and they don’t want to look bad, so I kinda want to take the pressure off them and I want my funeral to be like a love fest

‘I don’t want people to be crying or people to privately be like, “Thank God that b*tch is dead now,”‘ she finished.

The Fortress star’s tragic death came just about a month after she confessed the past year was ‘really hard’ for her.
