Vancouver’s Caitlyn Daniels is being vilified online this week after failing to post a single social media condolence in the wake of the latest celebrity death.

“I just can’t believe her callousness,” said Facebook friend Rachel Evans, who hasn’t actually spoken to Daniels since 10th grade.

“That actor gave so much to the world, and she can’t even give a single RIP? What about that classic movie he starred in back in the 80’s? Does that mean nothing to her?”

Evans couldn’t remember the name of the movie she was referring to or what it was about, but she said it “totally changed her life.”

“As soon as I heard the news, I immediately jumped on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I may not have ever met him or seen more than one of his movies, but this was still very much a personal tragedy to me. I really just needed to share my grief with all 287 of my followers as quickly as possible, and it’s sad that Caitlyn wasn’t a part of the mourning.”

Evans said to add insult to injury, Daniels also failed to like or comment on any of her 12 tribute posts.

She says she just hopes Daniels shows more heart the next time a famous person passes away, explaining that “we all know celebrity deaths come in threes.”

Reached via Facebook messenger, Daniels’ only response to Evans’ criticisms was a long string of the laugh-crying and eye-roll emojis.
