Adin Ross shared in his recent March 8 livestream that he is going to find out who leaked the news of his sister’s passing to TMZ, as well as the media outlet. For the unversed, TMZ reported this month that one of the streamer’s three sisters, Madeline, died on Jan. 15 in Broward County, Florida.
The news outlet did not mention any other details, such as the cause of death, stating that the 36-year-old was a “private” person. Adin Ross stated that he did not wish to publicly disclose his sister’s passing, as it is a private matter.
However, someone in his close circle was supposedly contacted by TMZ, and they shared the news. The streamer stated that he plans to take legal action against “a lot of people” and put them “in check.”
Adin Ross also mockingly called TMZ “Epstein island lovers” as the company’s founder, Harvey Levin, was mentioned in the controversial files.
“This sh*t happened a couple of months ago. I didn’t really want to tell anyone, as you can see it was a private thing. Horrible, horrible that somebody in my circle got paid by TMZ to release that. I don’t know who it was yet but I’m going to find out and I’m suing TMZ. And I’m suing the county and I’m suing a lot of people,” he said.
As the clip from his recent livestream went viral on social media, his fans supported him by saying that TMZ supposedly deserved to get sued. Some even pointed out that people were using Adin Ross’s sister Naomi’s pictures, as they could not find Madeline’s photos. Notably, Naomi Ross is also an influencer.
“The fact that people were using Naomi’s photos for ‘clout’ because they didn’t even know which sister it was makes this so much worse. TMZ started a circus when this family just wanted peace. Let them grieve,” one X user noted.
“Absolutely heartless. To exploit a private loss like that is rock bottom for ‘journalism.’ Stand your ground, Adin,” another fan added.
Days after Madeline’s passing, Adin Ross talked about loss on livestream
According to the Broward County Medical Examiner, Madeline passed away on Jan. 15. Days after, on Jan. 22, Adin Ross said in his livestream that he was having a hard time coping with the loss. He did not mention that it was his sister. However, viewers speculated that Ross was talking about his grandmother.
“It really f**king sucks losing somebody you love. I can’t fake it with you guys. It’s the worst thing and, f**k, I love you guys. I’m f**king trying to just not think about it… I hate this sh*t, man. I f**king hate it. I just hate feeling this way,” the streamer said.
As the news of Madeline’s death was leaked to the press, numerous articles were written on her passing, as well as the other family members.
