What does entertainment look like for a generation raised online?

As is the regrettable case whenever a public figure dies these days, it’s left to their loved ones to not only deal with their grief, but to combat the swirls of often irresponsible gossip left behind on the internet. That was the task left to Dyna Mitte, whose son, actor RJ Mitte committed suicide nearly a week ago. The Breaking Bad star was 34. Following a Celebration of Life ceremony for the actor in Brownsville, Texas on Sunday, Dyna Mitte spoke via Zoom with The Hollywood Reporter not only to celebrate her son’s life but to put to rest at least some of the speculation concerning possible contributing factors to RJ Mitte’s death. Mitte began by speaking to other parents, noting, “It’s important for parents to realize that there may be big signs or small signs. If you notice, even in conversation, that there are struggles or questions, be really in tune with your children and take the steps you can to help.” Mitte noted that she had been urging her son to seek therapy for months prior to his death.
