Daveigh Chase’s former manager casts doubt on late actress’ alleged boyfriend’s GoFundMe
Daveigh Chase’s former manager is urging fans not to donate to the late actress’ alleged boyfriend Roy Hernandez’s viral GoFundMe.
On Tuesday, John Ryan told TMZ, “Neither her family nor her close friends know who this person is.
“I can confirm Daveigh has a SAG trust account with more than enough funds to cover all medical and related expenses,” Chase’s longtime friend added.
Hernandez, however, insisted to the outlet that he plans to use the GoFundMe money to give Chase a “proper memorial.”
The fundraiser has, so far, raised $3,924 of its $5,000 goal.
Ryan alleged to The Post on Wednesday that Chase leaves behind millions of dollars of residuals, which he claims she was “too far gone” on heroin and fentanyl to claim despite his attempts to get in touch.
The “Lilo & Stitch” star died on Tuesday at age 35 after a case of meningitis and an infection in Chase’s blood led to her body shutting down over sepsis issues.
Prior to her passing, Chase was admitted to a hospital for malnourishment.
She was spotted living in Downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row months before her death.
Hernandez wrote in his online campaign that Chase “wanted … a place where [they] could live together, feel safe and be happy.”
After describing her “critical” health scare, he wrote, “Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.
“After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA,” he claimed. “When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. Together, we found moments of happiness and hope.”
Hernandez also highlighted Chase’s iconic projects, including voicing Chihiro Ogino in “Spirited Away.”
She also is best known for being in “The Ring” and “Donnie Darko.”
Chase’s last acting role was playing Krissy Madison in “American Romance” in 2016.
She spoke to Interview magazine about her legacy years prior, saying, “I just want to make something that I love and people will respect. I want to do things that will change someone’s life, not something they’ll forget about tomorrow.”
