For those who weren’t able to attend / who didn’t catch the live on FloJoe’s yt channel, I’ve taken a few screenshots of Celeste’s memorial. There were a few people who went to pay their respects and some media outlets who went to get some footage, and the live reached around 30 people. As far as I’m aware, her family were not present.

Happy heavenly 16th birthday Celeste. You’re loved, you’re missed, and your justice is on its way❤️‍🩹

Idk how the mods feel about swearing but I’m about to do a lot of it. I apologise in advance. I’m angry.

Scrolling on TikTok, ABC news pops up on my feed. I’m not from America, nor do I live anywhere nearby so this was weird. I wasn’t looking at my phone but I heard David, followed by Celeste’s voice and looked down to see that they have uploaded 9 mins of the documentary to their page.

I know it’s a documentary, but, they have an actor playing Celeste and another one playing David? The opening clip is their stream together where she outs him for raping kids and they have this playing on a big screen with dark figures watching. A male and a female… the female is curly haired, with glasses on, and her hood up and the male has Afro-centric hair that is the EXACT same colour as David’s in the live. They are acting as if Celeste is watching the live with David retrospectively. That’s fucking weird.

A few mins go by and they have different testimonials from a guy who knew David, a guy in the legal field, some woman who has an opinion. They mention how Celeste and David met online, and have actors of similar skin tones texting as though they’re Celeste and David communicating.

The interviewer asks the lawyer what led to her murder and once again a voiceover comes on while a curly haired girl with a skin tone similar to Celeste’s is sending iMessages. This is when the voice over mentions their argument via text about the other girls David was seeing, and Celeste’s threat to expose him.

They even show the images of the car with the trunk (frunk) open and the cadaver bags visible. Celeste was a real person. Not a fucking documentary. It makes me angry because she’s only been gone a year, I can’t even imagine how her family must feel - irrespective of how anyone feels about them and their choices, Celeste was a daughter, sister, cousin, niece, etc. if it popped up on my feed randomly, it’s likely they’ll see it too. And the FIRST thing they play is their live together. It’s like “hey here’s your dead kid and sister, oh and here is her abuser and murderer too!😃👍. “

They even recorded the outside of her home ffs, where her minor brother still lives. (I could be wrong, but I’m almost 100% sure he is a minor.)

Hiring people to play a dead child for the sake of a documentary is disgusting, hiring another one to play her abuser and murderer is vile. A child lost her life because a sadistic adult wanted to keep his abuse of her a secret. That’s not some Hollywood shit, a real human lost their real life.

Against my better judgment I’ve included screenshots to show what I mean about the actors.
