Not even a week after his son Sage, 36, was found dead at his Studio City home, Sylvester Stallone found himself under attack by a member of his own family.
In what friends see as the ultimate act of betrayal, Sage’s 18-year-old cousin, Edd Filiti, took to the Internet on Friday, the day Sage’s death was announced, and posted angry Facebook messages, according to Celebuzz, that suggested that tension between Sage and the Rocky star was partially to blame for his son’s death.
Filiti, who reportedly posted the messages on Friday but has since taken them down, apparently ranted against Stallone and his wife, Jennifer Flavin: “Neither you [Flavin] or he could return a phone call, which is all he wanted, his father.”
“I know you don’t care what happened,” Filiti reportedly continued, “but you’ll care when your [sic] squirming under the burning magnifying glass of public opinion. You people making me (bleeping) sick.”
In a direct jab at Flavin, Filiti reportedly wrote, “Jennifer Flavin, you won. You tore this family apart and got your trophy, Congrats! Like you told my family, ‘I’m Sly’s family now, he doesn’t [need] you anymore.’ Let’s see how much he needs you after this.”
