Brian Austin Green Defends Not Posting A Luke Perry Tribute

Brian Austin Green received some flack for not posting a tribute to his late Beverly Hills, 90210 costar Luke Perry, but the Hollywood veteran isn't having any of the hate.

In a recent video post of him promoting his "...With Brian Austin Green" podcast on Instagram, one commentator didn't appear entirely happy with how the actor was on a self-promotional kick. "RIP Luke Perry! I’m not sure how you could do this so soon,” the user wrote in the comment section. "I haven't seen anything from you about his passing, maybe I’ve missed it somewhere. Pretty much everyone else had something to say. It’s just not the same without #LukePerry and it seems pointless without him. So sad."

Once Green received wind of the criticism, he kept his cool, offering some insight into losing Perry. "Thank you for your words. Thank you to everyone for sticking up for me but it’s not necessary," he responded. "Carrie, the passing of Luke is terrible. As was said by many, everyone grieves in different ways. If it’s too soon for you to attend what is meant to be a fun night for the fans then you don’t have to. Everyone should respect everyone's process."

As you know, the Hollywood veteran died on March 4 after suffering from a massive stroke, despite being "under observation" for five days. Loved ones like his fiancée Wendy Madison Bauer, his ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and his kids Sophie and Jack were all by his side when he passed away. He was 52.
