Following Slash's statement about Lucy-Bleu's death, a bizarre post was shared on her Instagram account. Although it was a harmless selfie, what struck the netizens as odd was the timing of the post and its cryptic caption.
This led many to believe that the post might have been scheduled for a specific time in future, which coincidentally turned out to be the day after her death was made public. “Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry,” Lucy-Bleu's cryptic post read.
