Comic-Con was their last family outing.
I remember when we were all talking about how much of a waste comic con was but in hindsight that was the last thing they ever did as a family. ☹️ the last time they were able to focus on something fun and take their mind away from their issues together. This family has had so many troubling times I’m happy they had that one last big event. Rest in peace Donald. 🕊️🕊️

Can’t believe comic con photos would be garnering this; because it was the last family photo.
You never know where life will lead.
Genuinely sorry this happened.
Sending prayers. -
Same!

No one is defending past actions, but she’s done absolutely nothing that is a death sentence
-
Not reading all that

Not gonna lie, you’re honestly pathetic. Your whole account is just nonstop hate, and you seem miserable. We get that you hate the Slydells, just like a lot of other people, but is it really that hard to be kind for once? Be realistic after everything people have done to her, of course, she snaps and says things. It’s not like she hasn’t had disgusting things said to her too. It’s just super unrealistic to think she is suppose to sit and take everything ppl say and do to her without retaliating. (I AM NOT DEFENDING ANY OF THE WILD THINGS SHE HAS DONE)
-
“Im not defending” while defending
-
not defending her wild actions such as the using money to go to comic con instead of paying rent, cp allegations things like that :)

...it was one sentence.
-
Not reading all that

of course you aren't reading it. i doubt you even can read. ur just a tard who spends all your time on reddit posting about tophia. literally every post you have is about her ☠️☠️ do you have friends? or a hobby?
-
-
-
-
-
Not the time... we all are aware she isn't the best person but she's just lost her brother and her own mother is in hospital. Time and place
-
Dont care
-
-
whats your end goal here? i see you all over this sub posting links we get it tophia was not a good person. that doesn’t mean we can’t have sympathy her brother was shot in front of her you get that right?
-
My end goal is to live overseas and I’m doing that so now I like to go online and call people out for flip flopping
-
-
Oh no! She was wrong! Will her admitting that bring her brother back? No? Then maybe ask yourself if you're just talking bc you get to feel superior in a moment of randomized violence, and what's stopping that randomized violence picking someone you love
-
We carry so 🤷♂️
-
-
You’re really annoying.
-
-
-
I can't help but worry about her right now. I would really hate to hear that she's just wandering the streets basically waiting for her mom.
-
aunt karen has been in contact with her and tophia said they (police im assuming) put her in a hotel after she went to the hospital to verify.
-
That's very kind of Aunt Karen. She didn't have to go out of her way to do that. Especially given their history. I said nothing but my best regards to the Slydell family.
-
-
Which is actually a good thing for now, like I hope theat they are able to help her soon and give her some independent learning and that she'll be able to keep going on her own two feet
I never did agree with the things she said or did but this tragedy is the one time you wanna tell her hopefully everything's gonna be okay
-
Yeah when the news broke I remember going through a lot of the comments. we all seem to be in the consensus that this will either break or make Tophia. Of course I'm hoping she actually betters herself. For herself and her mother.
-
I absolutely didn't expect the news at all and I usually check through the reddit to see what barmy thing she had said that day. I doubt much will change with her after all this but I hope someone can give her the hand she needs
-
-
-
When mama was in the hospital unfortunately that's what she was doing
-
-
this is so heartbreaking :( i pray to god for each of the three to find peace and healing wherever they are
-
I hope so too :(
Rest in eternal peace, Donald 🕊
-
-
They got so much crap for this but in the end it’s good they had this time together.
-
It was such a fragile life.
I grew up poor and around even poorer people. It's hard to explain but the reward system in your brain is really fried so they tend to seek out instant gratifications like these. You don't think about second homes or your investment portfolio.
It's scarcity mindset, you know?
"Spend all your money before the bills and necessities get to you or it gets stolen or whatever."
And deep down, they must have known that something was always going to pull them apart. Maybe they didn't anticipate this level of violence, but not much was holding them together. Nobody was in a stable position in their family except Donald, arguably.
-
This is a beautiful comment.
I did found her funny for some of the things the said but I always got downvoted when saying that this woman never stood a chance. Born to two dysfunctional parents, an odd brother and in poverty… it never baffled me she used the money to do things she liked.
It’s like giving a few buck to a homeless guy on the stress but asking him how he’s gonna spend them. :(I’ve always been rather fortunate in life but I imagine if I ended up homeless I’d probably make similar choices. It’s easy to judge when you’re not in the same situation
-
That why a lot of poor family have a lot of children, or turn to drugs, alcohol etc. The instant gratification is a lot more rewarding than having to suffer.
-
Yeah I read somewhere that a big contribution to understanding general trauma is researching addiction in family systems
-
-
Knowing that Donald would likely still be alive if they had skipped comic-con and spent that money on shelter instead just makes it all the more heartbreaking.
-
I just looked at how much tickets were ($45 each tops). Those funds at best would cover a night or two in a motel.
With the evictions on their record and limited funds it would be difficult for them to “save” themselves out of this situation.
-
Does the money they used on comicon even equal an amount that could realistically be used for housing? I doubt it to be honest

They could have literally spent that money on getting a safe apartment.
-
I thought about this a lot yesterday. She had more than enough cash. I know when (if) she goes live she will get quite a few donations, and if social services are worth a shit they are doing their best to get Marie on disability, Medicaid etc while she’s in the hospital. Tophia has a chance to really turn things around for her and her mom. Or she can continue blaming The Internet. I really, really, hope she doesn’t get back on TikTok and just sorts her shit out.
-
The money definitely should have been saved, but the ~$1k spent at Comic-Con wouldn’t have been enough to get all of them into an apartment.
-
In Albuquerque? Yes they could’ve afforded a simple apartment
-
Even in a cheap city, $1k is probably not enough for the application fee, down payment, and moving expenses to get three adults into an apartment. Especially with only one of them having a steady, verifiable income.
-
-
What about if they’re required down payment and last months rent?
-
They should have saved the money, but $1k is unlikely to be enough to pay the deposit and rent for an apartment that allows three people.
-
Sorry I meant to reply to the person you responded to. Trust me, I know
-
-
-
-
Not even an apartment, they could've gone back to a motel or another hotel. I know Tophia got at least ~2k from people spamming that weird loud gift in January. They spent over $600 just on comic con alone. That could've easily been spent on a month worth of motel extended stay and she would've still gotten some leftover.
-
well, they didnt, so now what. where do we go from here. "they should've-" they didnt. stop commenting this stupid shit over and over again thinking its a groundbreaking revolution, we know what she shouldve done. how you see a photo of her and her families last outing together and think "hmm maybe she shouldve done this and this and her brother wouldnt be dead", and have less than a normal human empathetic reaction is crazy.
-
Idk why you’re being downvoted, everything you said is 100% true. What she should or shouldn’t do has been talked about soooo many times by now, idk why people keep feeling the need to bring it up repeatedly during an actual traumatic event.
-
because people on this reddit like to hide the fact that theyre bad people just to justify their weird sadistic behavior towards mentally ill/"special" people. this entire reddit is only here to mock tophia and her family and once something bad happens they cant help themselves but to find joy in their misfortune and misery. they hate the truth and they hate that someone is holding a mirror up to them
-
No forreal. This has shown who are genuinely pieces of shit in this sub. I don’t like tophia as much as the next person but I would never wish death on her or her family, like these people couldn’t even fathom being in her shoes and yes a lot of it is self inflicted from her but she clearly did not have a good upbringing and some people can pull themselves outta that and do better for their life and some can’t.
But I can bet if anyone in here had to watch their brother die and not know what happened to their mom they wouldn’t be able to handle it so what’s wrong with showing someone compassion.

Well of course, but they didn’t and even though they didn’t, that doesn’t mean they deserved what happened to them. The lack of empathy I’ve seen around is frankly kind of scary.. regardless of poor choices they’ve made in the past.
-
It's unfortunate, and I think many of us overlook how dangerous being homeless is. I can't speak for everyone else, but my mind typically just goes right to "can you imagine the smell/ not being able to shower", "how can you get comfortable", "how do you deal with the extreme heat/ cold", etc but I overlook that being homeless in a public place makes you a very visible target. People know you're inherently vulnerable just by the fact of being homeless.
In this case it was (seemingly) completely random, but it just as easily could have been someone targeting them on different occasion, especially someone internet famous like her. Once you get past the initial chuckles of her well-deserved homelessness (by refusing to work), it's terrifying to picture someone in the position. I'd say it's almost worse than this being a tragedy, it almost comes with the lifestyle
-
Or maybe a better car that could’ve been more Safer to sleep in.
-
I don’t think any new car house could have helped unfortunately
-
Yeah I agree now that I think of it
-
-
No no you’re wrong sorry that wouldn’t have changed anything.
-
-
-
The last time they ever smiled together as a family 💔💔💔
-
I still can’t believe this is real omg I know this might be weird but I legit had nightmares about it last night I just can’t fathom something so dark and senseless can just happen in one split second….
-
Also couldn’t sleep. This whole thing is just terrible to wrap your mind around. RIP to Donald and prayers to the rest of the family
-
-
this photo breaks my heart💔
-
I know we all talked shit about comic con and how they shouldn't have gone...good on you, Tophia. I am so happy you have this beautiful memory of yourself with your family. Please look back on this day with positivity.
-
The part that sucks ab the comic con thing is if you look at their life it wasn’t good they didn’t seem like they had a lot of good moments so when they go places like this it probably felt amazing
-
I actually love this photo of them. They seem genuinely happy together
-
Yeah and they could have used that money for a room for a few days but noooooo selfish one had to make her brother work even harder. I only feel bad for Marie not Tophia.
-
how about we blame the person who committed the crime instead of tophia for once
-
I never understand yall when you say this…you feel bad for Marie cause her child is not doing well as a provider so you only feel bad for Marie. Yet Marie is the mother and she barely provided for her children while they were growing up and she let their whole existence be funded by her husbands scam company. Had her kids in and out of homeless shelters when they were young, doesn’t have a car and doesn’t have a job and doesn’t have a house in her 60s when most 60 year olds do and never had anything so much so that her kids have to take care of her while they’re in their early 30s and late 20s. So Mamachu never did that good of a job taking care of her children but you don’t feel bad for tophia because she doesn’t do that good of a job taking care of her mother …? That will never make sense to me 😭she failed her kids yet she’s the only one that deserves sympathy? (I wasn’t trying to make this negative due to the events that JUST happened but I have to say that point)
-
You should feel bad for everyone in this situation but If that’s not the case the main person you shouldn’t feel sorry for is Marie , Marie is the mother that is meant to show them how to be able to survive in this world with or without her which she didn’t do ,this is why they’re all homeless in the first place ,it starts with the parents yes tophia is grown but it’s really hard to break the cycle with your mother and father not raising you right or showing you how to be a functioning adult , usually when a parent is good and they have a couple of children maybe one of them could end up like tophia, but when it’s both or all children in this situation it shows there was a major flaw in the parents parenting ,most mothers in Marie’s situation worked for a good retirement plan because they know they will get older and don’t want to burden their children having to worry about them , but any good child would want to take care of their mother but you can’t take care of your mother properly when you don’t even have a place to rest your head , if Marie raised them right they would both have stable jobs and their own place where she could have stayed with one of them at this old age , when it comes to Donald st he seemed like he actually tried for the family but unfortunately became mentally ill
-
YES YES YES! I’ve never seen anybody hold the same opinion as me on this.
-
-
Now’s not the time. Donald Jr wasted money on shitbox cars. They were all bad with finances.
-
Nope she could have worked and they could have gotten a room together.
-
You’re genuinely weird for this. I don’t like Tophia at all, but I genuinely feel heartbroken for her. Losing a family member is hard, but losing a sibling especially in such a traumatic way is even harder. Her brother is gone, her mom is in the hospital, and now she’s alone. You “blame” Tophia, but this wasn’t even because of the internet. I hope you learn to have some empathy for other people’s situations because this is terrible and tragic. Nobody should ever have to go through something like this.
-
Girl, take some time off the internet and practice some empathy lol. This is an extremely traumatic situation to go through and is not the time where you act holier than thou and point fingers at the victim.
-
God, I hope your username isn’t an indication that you’re an actual nurse. Nurses should have at least a baseline of empathy towards people.
-
I’m not surprised tbh Nurses don’t have the rep for being mean people for no reason

-
we didnt even realize it at the time, but we were making fun of a mans very last time he truly bonded with his family.
-
I know we ridiculed them for it at the time because of the unnecessary expenses, but in hindsight of tragedy, it's actually probably a good thing that they got to have this last normal experience
-
What do you mean their last family outing? The car meets? Or do we not consider that a family outing?
-
Honestly I’m not even mad about comic con at this point anymore. I’m glad Donald had a good time there, I’m glad he was able to go to the panel he wanted to, I’m glad he got to spend that time with his family. I’m glad he had that fun. I hope Tophia is able to look back on that day fondly.
RIP Donald. You deserved so much better.
-
Wow this really puts things into perspective :( incredibly heartbreaking
-
I feel very sorry for Tophia. With your only shelter gone, your brother dead, a dad that’s in and out of jail and a mom in the hospital must be so stressful. Her brother was the only one working and I feel very sorry for her. I hope Tophia and her mother are ok.
-
Wow this is so upsetting. This family has honestly been through so much and as much as I don't like Tophia as a person, nobody ever deserves to go through something as horrific as her and her family did.
-
that's sad, ngl.
-
:(
-
I don't understand why anybody feels bad. Both she and her brother have a history of interacting with minors inappropriately. Did I miss some post where it was revealed it was all fake and he wasnt in the dms of teenagers?
-
FINALLY SOMEONE NORMAL like they're literally animal abusers, pedos, tofupa has made fun of other people's dead relatives, and much more, but she loses ONE family member and suddenly everyone wanna play the morally right card??? She doesn't deserve any sort of sympathy. Period.
-
People just seem overly emotional about this. If anything, this is a net positive. The last thing anyone needs is another predator in the dms of children. They forgot he was pretending to be 16 to hit on 15 year olds way too quickly. At least we know minors are safer now than they were a few days ago. They can go ahead and downvote me, but I refuse to have empathy for pedophiles.
-
PERIOD. I lack empathy, but I can understand how someone can feel it towards someone if something bad happened to them. But why waste it on such horrible people?? I'm honestly glad brotherchu died. Both of them are total pieces of shits.

I was looking at her ig and saw this picture I couldn’t help but tear up a bit. Their actions haven’t been the best but this is both chilling and just all around sad. Can’t help but feel sad for Tophia and her mother had to see and how there feeling right now. How sad…nobody would’ve known based on these pictures Donald would’ve been gone. I hope they find healing and peace.
-
I know Tophia has done bad in the past, same with Donald but losing a family member is one of the hardest things to go through. I feel so bad for Tophia and hope she can get the support she needs.
-
i’m glad they got to spend it happy :)
-
I’m glad they enjoyed themselves at least 💔💔💔
-
I hope that this will make tophiachu drop this whole thing about being internet famous and getting paid on tiktok, it's not something that should happen to anyone, but i hope she will see how flimsy it was, to get a regular job and have a normal life with her mom

This is very sad, but I'm a little jealous. I kind of want to make it a goal to have my last family picture of me to include my hat that says "Smile, you're the reason someone masturbates".
-
This is just so sad :(
RIP Brotherchu -
This is super judgey so I’m sorry but I really feel bad for her in particular because they are so ugly, like life was already being played on hard mode for them and then this shit happens. Talk about a shitty hand in life
-
It definitely was a good idea to spend your essential money on comic books and autographs instead of a safe place.
-
Honestly kinda breaks my heart. So sad
-
I wouldn't wish on anyone.
-
Honestly I didn’t even think of that, I’m so glad now that Tophia used the money on that, it really did give them some final great times as a family
-
Gah. I feel so sad for all of them. Especially Tophia. Having to watch her brother get killed and her mom being stuck in the car. The mental strain this will have on her. Rest easy Donald.
-
I feel bad for her ik she's a Terrible person no one deserves to see their brother killed before they're eyes
-
What was mom cosplaying?
-
And there were so many disgusting, hateful comments toward Tophia and her family for just trying to find joy in life. Joy that’s hard to come by for ANYONE but especially someone in her situation.
-
Brotherchu looks like butthead from Beavus and butthead
-
or... they could have saved that money so that they weren't sleeping in a car. I empathize with her but lol, i'm not gonna go back in time and excuse her idiocy because her brother died.
-
Nobody is excusing what she’s done but have some empathy damn.
-
-
In retrospect it was actually a good idea to go to comic con
-
It definitely was a good idea to spend your essential money on comic books and autographs instead of a safe place.

OMG MY SHAYLAAAA💖
-
Wow this just doesn’t feel real. Brotherchu confirmed dead, Papachu suspected to be dead. Mamachu almost died. Idk what is going on in the slydell family and i feel so sad for them.
-
Papachu was confirmed arrested, or that's at least what I thought I read the other day? I believe it happened the same day, too.
-
stop spreading misinfomation
-
-
People made horrible comments..
-
and yall were saying that Kel was probably about to pass out from their smell 💔💔. hope yall repent.
-
nobody expected a tragedy like this to happen.
-
“yall” but you’re here too
-
i didnt hate on this picture when it happened. i thought it was cool that they met the guy from Good Burger.
-
I mean I never hated on this picture either but I was here so I am no better and neither are you
-
I thought the same, actually. I'm super new to the saga, like I learned about her from YT a week or two ago and joined the sub, scrolled the day this was originally posted and then today.
It's a roller coaster
-
-
-
No bec both things are true last family outing but they all did smell. I think you’re missing the point.
-
So you said it too didn’t you?
-
i probably upvoted a comment or two.
-
-
Wtf does that have to do with what happened? It DEFINITELY smelled.
-
I mean he probably was
-
Never thought i’d be feel this much sympathy for Tophia and her family but here we are, this stings man
