“It has been brought to my attention that some likely AI written BS like this is going viral,” she wrote, retweeting the post. original post. “Dad didn’t have a pet monkey, NO ONE should, and if you’re ever tempted, support local exotic animal rescues instead.

“And since there will likely be more completely false or poorly researched posts going viral on the anniversary of Dad’s death, you might just assume they’re all BS (they usually are),” Zelda continued. “Ignore the creepy robots trying to edit your clicks and do something nice for yourself instead. I will definitely do that ♥️”
In 2019, Zak remembered his father in a interview op Good morning Great Britain on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of his death.
“It was sad to see someone suffering so much. As a family member and child, you want to do everything you can to ease and alleviate what seemed like intense personal pain,” Zak said.
“And there were times when it felt like there was helplessness on my part, I didn’t know what I could do, or how to best provide support,” he added.
