Drena De Niro is speaking out after the untimely death of her son, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez.
Drena took to Instagram to share what she claims caused Leandro’s death, replying to one commenter that her son was allegedly sold “fentanyl laced pills.” The 51-year-old actress and daughter of Robert De Niro previously revealed that Leandro had died in a heartbreaking tribute earlier this week on social media. He was reportedly 19.
“Someone sold him fentanyl laced pills that they knew were laced yet still sold them to him,” Drena wrote in a new Instagram comment, replying to a follower who asked “OMG, why? How?”
“So for all these people still f**king around selling and buying this s**t, my son is gone forever,” she concluded with a crying emoji.
Drena had previously written, in an open tribute to her late son, that he “didn’t deserve to die like this.”
The grieving mother first announced the tragic news on July 2 with an Instagram post dedicated to her “beautiful sweet angel.”
“I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly. You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life,” she wrote. “I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you.”
“I don’t know how to live without you but I’ll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama,” Drena continued. “You were so deeply loved and appreciated and I wish that love alone could have saved you. I’m so sorry my baby, I’m so sorry @carlosmare. Rest in Peace and Eternal Paradise my darling boy.”
Later, the boy’s father, Carlos Rodriguez, shared an emotional update of his own.
“If you knew him you would know.
