Alxzondra continued:
“I don’t have many words right now, but I ask that you please give myself, Joe’s family, and all of his loved ones the space and time needed to process a loss of this magnitude.”
She went on to share a message from a loved one identified as Brandy that she hopes “everyone will keep in mind.”
“’The manner in which something occurs should never overshadow the end result or the legacy that is left behind. Think before you speak. Consider who will hear your words, and honor those who have yet to speak.’”
Alxzondra concluded her statement:
“Thank you for your prayers, your love, your understanding, and for remembering Joe for the life he lived #joefelz”

The grieving girlfriend didn’t not specify how the Georgia-based influencer passed away, but slammed some of the “false narratives” circulating social media in a follow up post:
“Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words, stories, and memories of Joe. Please keep them coming — they are helping more than you know. What is not helping, and what Joe would have been absolutely ashamed and disgusted by, are the false narratives, assumptions, and speculation that are already circulating.”
She continued:
“I understand Joe meant a great deal to many of you, and that’s exactly why I chose to share this news. But there is a real family trying to process an unimaginable loss, and social media rumors that flow into local real life should be the last thing we have to deal with right now. I promise that, when the time is right, the truth will come. Right now is not that time.”
Alxzondra continued:
“Until then, honor the man instead of feeding the rumor mill. Respect the family he loved and the people he leaves behind. Think before you speak. If you weren’t shoulder to shoulder with him — you likely don’t know the whole story — and it’s not your place to fill in the blanks.
Respectfully
— Alx”
