- Todd Fisher speaks with ET about niece Billie Lourd not inviting him to late sister Carrie Fisher's Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony. Todd reacts to Billie's latest statement about him and his two sisters, Joely and Tricia, and how she claims they profited off of Carrie and their late mother, Debbie Reynolds', deaths. Plus, Todd shares whether or not he ever sees himself reconciling with Billie in the future.
Todd Fisher has a right to write a book about himself, his sister & mother (& make money from it - as did his mother & sister on their books). Carrie’s brother, Debbie’s son - his family and life to discuss…just as much as Billie could talk about her relationship with these people. I feel sorry for Todd…he was close to Carrie & his mother - and now his closest relative, closest to those same people has chosen to demonise him & cast him out on his own. Maybe it’s grief that’s led her to this…I hope she finds her way back to him (he’s would clearly be receptive to that) - honouring what her mother and grandmother would want.
His book was beautiful! His sister and mother would be proud. ❤❤
Carrie would be heart broken.
Indeed😔👏🏼💔
This interview says it all, read the book before you comments. Debbie’s only son, Carrie’s only brother, Debbie wrote 3 books, I’ve read them , Todd’s book is terrific. That family had a very interesting life, Debbie’s story with Todd at her side. What about the Bright Lights documentary that Carrie initiated a year before they died. I think Billie is being vindictive here to her Uncle and Aunts.
She has nothing to gain, unlike her uncles and aunts who are doing great damage control. He’s talking about her children in interviews, it’s bizarre.
Not your family. Not your business
I truly do hope that they can reconcile with each other in the future. Neither Carrie nor Debbie would have wanted this rift between family members to happen. They would have wanted to stay together through thick and thin. I know family problems are hard to deal and it is not our business to be involved with this, but given the circumstances of this situation it does feel kind of hurtful that this had to happen.
I like Todd Fisher. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. He’s a great keeper of memories. The family historian, so to speak. He’s a great writer and storyteller. (So was Carrie and so is Billie.) He’s a steadfast cheerleader for his mom and sister. And, yes, he has a right to tell his story, and to grieve in his own way… but he’s pretty much proving her point by continuing to give these interviews. We also don’t know all the intricacies of the family dynamics and how this could have shaped Billie’s perception of what it means to be a part of this extended family. Blended families are tough enough without adding the celebrity factor to it. My heart goes out to all of them. Hopefully it will be resolved… out of the press.
He was wrong about the inheritance! And there's nothing blended about the four of them. Are you Todd, BTW?
You have a right to mourn your mother Todd and the right to write a book about your life with your family. You and your sisters were forced to respond to the non invite. She could have invited all of you and had you just sit there. She controlled that situation and we would know nothing about this. Nobody had any idea til now that there was this rift. She got married you folks weren’t invited and had kids you didn’t say a word. Sounds to me like you handled all of this with grace and dignity.
Grace and dignity? He’s talking about her children on a TV interview, it’s damage control and you’re falling for it.
Remember when Carrie once said to that "contemptible pig", Jake Blues...
"You betrayed me! So, for me... For my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good... I must now kill you and your brother."
Let's hope that this movie dialogue doesn't extend to Billie's feelings about Joely, Tricia, and Todd!
All joking aside, I will get back to that point later... But first...
I had the good fortune of being able to attend the Carrie Fisher Tribute at Star Wars Celebration's
40th Anniversary panel in Orlando in 2017, where George Lucas and Billie Lourd gave very moving
and touching speeches, and John Williams performed Princess Leia's theme with the Orlando Philharmonic... I also attended Mark Hamill's panel as well, where he spoke fondly about Carrie...
Both were very moving events... There wasn't a dry eye in the house... I will never forget it...
Watching the Walk of Fame ceremony bought back all of those bitter-sweet memories...
That event was just as touching!
It's about time that this Star Wars" Star" got a Hollywood Walk of Fame "Star"...
Well deserved!
I also had the good fortune to see Carrie on stage at SW Celebration in 2012... She was HILARIOUS!
One of the happiest moments of my life as a Star Wars fan...
We miss you, Carrie... I'd jump into a trash compactor with you anytime...
You have been my Princess since 1977... You will be our Princess forever...
May the Force be with you... Always.
Now please be a good "Force Ghost", find a log, and have a good "sit-down chat" with your daughter!
I don't know who's right and who's wrong... but it's time to heal these old wounds...
I don't think that Carrie or Debbie would have wanted this... And besides... It's not the Jedi way!
I've watched Billie and I've seen her be a little aloof,private,standoffish if you will since Carrie's death,as a fan I felt that Todd has been more welcoming and approachable when it comes to Carrie which is endearing.lets not forget there wasn't much held back in Carrie's life including her mental health struggles,addiction, waking up to a friends dead body,her husband being gay etc...she was open,honest and nothing was off the table,so I find her daughter's reasoning to be squed somewhat,her mother was more than just a star wars character (the only promotion Billie makes concerning her mother) and Todd respects his sister and they were close.
Todd had every right to speak about his sister and Mother immediately after their deaths...this is his loss too!
Yet, I hope one day they all can reconcile, forgive and build new loving relationships.
🙏♥️💗
Since Carrie died a day before her mother her part of the inheritance from Debbie went to Todd. Billie thinks both Debbie and Carrie would have wanted her to get Debbies part and not Todd. It's all about the money
Billie I agree is about money.
No that’s Debbie’s son his mom not hers she should be lucky her mom left her something some don’t wow
@@blueharrington1893 Yes she is greedy, I like Todd better
For Carrie’s brother and sister to send out statements and in his case running to entertainment shows and airing their grievances just says all.🙄 Billie is the decision maker when it comes to her mother’s affairs whether people like it or not.
They are not actors. How else would they be able to reach their niece if she has cut them off. I don’t think this is what her mom would’ve wanted. I think it’s a question of pride and stubbornness on Billie’s part. This is how families fall apart needlessly. Let’s face it Carrie had some personal issues and her death was a tragedy. People are going to want to know things she was a Hollywood star after all. I see nothing wrong with her siblings wanting to share their stories. That’s their sister after all.
@@FilCanJayThere is multiple ways, cmon. We’re in modern times here.
i think billie must know her uncle well enough to judge his intentions. js.
Oh - is Billie shunning/excluding because she wanted more from Debbie's estate... if so - that's a kid who still needs her mother's guidance.
I saw Debbie, Carrie, Todd and Billie onstage at Debbie's last shows. It's hard for me to wrap my heart around the fact that the 2 still living don't even speak to each other now.
I wish Todd had ended his interview here by saying he loves Billie.
I believe ya Todd!
If he could ever stop running to the press every two seconds. I don’t blame her for being tired of the fame whoring. Todd has never had a life outside of who he was related to.
Hey Lay off Todd He Hasn't Done anything Wrong Billie is in The Wrong Not Todd
I have always found Carrie Fisher's siblings always respectful to her. And Todd has always been great toward his sister and mother. So I take it as I hope Billie and the family reunite! :)
As Billie should
If Billie hadn't inherited her mother's money, she too would have written a book for profit. She will write that book when she squanders the money.
Perhaps Todd is better off not having any interaction with her. May be a blessing in disguise. Carries illnesses may be genetic. Imagines vultures that are not there. They have nothing in common now that Debbie and Carrie are in heaven.
His Mother did Great with her two children. Todd is so balanced.
& so what if Toff made some $ off writing that book..So many of us loved Debbie & Carrie & would love to hear Todd's stories.. I mean.. why not? Debbie & Carrie were definitely special ladies as well as Todd being special for who he is..Two intelligent people with a lot to say & articulately so..
He didn't agree that his mother died of a broken heart? Carrie's death definitely affected her heart! And shame on him for wanting part of Carrie's inheritance. Carrie still deserves an inheritance or for her daughter to benefit from what Debbie would have given Carrie, had Debbie died first! SHAME ON TODD!
I think he’s a greedy Old fart🧐 Leave that girl alone😱 she lost her mum & grandma just like he lost his mother and sister fk grow up Todd 🙄
Todd knew his mother a thousand percent better than we did.
If Debbie Reynolds wanted her daughter's portion to go to her granddaughter, she would have put it in her will.
I understand they are a public family and one of the most famous families ever, but don’t talk about your personal family issues for the world to judge. At the same time, I’m siding with Billie’s aunts and uncle. They have to the right to talk about Carrie just as much as Billie does.
Billie, respect your elders and never hold grudges against your family.
???? She aired her shit too
Respecting your elders only goes as far if they respect you. You can’t tell another person to go through family woes just because you think it’s okay, not everyone does that or should be forced too. Todd needs to keep the subject of her babies out of his mouth, it’s irrelevant to him defending himself and comes across as disingenuous, especially when he is grasping for damage control.
Todd literally tried suing Billie to block her from getting her inheritance from her mother.
If Carrie had wanted Todd to have anything she’d have said so in her will.
Mr Fisher she is replicating Carries life , she stopped talking to her mother for 10 years and she doesn’t know how to solve personal conflicts other than giving people cold shoulder and alienation. I am going to the same my daughter stopped talking to me 10 years ago, not explanation nothing. I divorce and her father alienated me from her . Don’t expect anything and live your life it’s her problem not yours. She is missing a great uncle and a great family. Best wishes from Northern California.
Is this the guy who was selling off small pieces of the flooring that was in some building that Debbie owned/was affiliated with?
Such a shame. It is clear to me that Todd was very close to his sister and mother and would never speak ill of them or try to make money off them. Shame on Billie Lourde for reading some fake media blurb and assuming that's true without speaking to the family members directly. Carrie would be outraged.
If my mom and her siblings had any family issues ... it stayed between Them, and when the children wanted to go see auntie or uncle it wasn't an issue.
Maybe the issues weren’t just between siblings but rather her as well, he’s playing damage control with the aloof card, and then talking about her children was tasteless.
The fact thar he gave this interview tells me that she has good reason to not want him in her life.
The man has every right to defend himself. What is he supposed to do when he sees himself being slandered, stay silent? What would you do if you found yourself in a similar situation?
There are some events where inviting people you don't actually like is actually important and necessary. This was one of them. Look at Princes Harry and Andrew.
@@annepurcell4495I wouldn’t talk about their kids, especially if we haven’t met. He’s doing damage control.
I’m on billies side I think he is very exploitative
They both have problems and issues. Yet I hope both can reconcile. If not, it will be just another tragedy for that family, even if Billie doesn’t recognize it yet.
Todd has been through hell and back. A while back he was a youth Pastor at "Church on the way " it seemed, as though he was, dedicated bro the work of the Lord. But his mother was in a relationship that caused great distress. Unfortunately she needed her son to lean on. Based on his interviewed, he never regained his relationship with the Lord. ,,,,,,Jeremiah 29:11-12. It's never to late Todd. ❤️ Jack Hafford is no longer. But ; you are❤️
I am on Billie's side on this issue. Happy Star Wars Day to Carrie and Billie.
If Carrie can forgive her father then Billie needs to forgive her uncle and her aunts
@@ilovemickyandhelove1 Thats up to Billie to decide. Not for u to decide or judge.
I don't blame the daughter a bit. I didn't know who this guy even was until Carrie and Debbie died and it's disgusting how many places I've seen him since then talking about them or selling cheap crap in their memory and I'm not talking about his book either, which of course he did. He comes off as a total grifter.
This is NOT how we honor our princess on star wars day!😡
You know she wasn't a princess, right? And she had an entire body of work that wasn't Star Wars.
If Linda Hamilton doesn't come back as Sarah Connor after Terminator Dark Fate then I hope Billie Lourd as Sarah Connor in next Terminator.
Guy's......Let's talk. Mr. Fisher is independently wealthy. This a family issue. Take care of yourselves. ❤ Please forgive me if I caused any damage. ❤🌹🙏🤝
I thought, maybe incorrectly, that he had indicated he felt he should have received not only his share of his mother's estate, but Carries too. Todd Fisher inherited 40 million +- dollars when his Mom died. Is he seriously unhappy about that?
BTW, as an adult, what did Todd Fisher do for a living? Did he actually work?
Can't understand the friction between the two, he must have said horrible things in his book.
I Beleave Todd
But he's family! 😅. When a family member is writing books and doing tabloid tv intetviews after the death of loved ones it feels off. Then with him doing Another interview crying about his neice not talking with him, is ment to do what exactly.
And let's be real, everyone has an aunt or uncle that they just don't want in their lives, and there is always a good reason.
You're so right
Wondering how much money has made off the deaths.
Look unfortunately for Todd, he never made a career for himself other than simply being the son and brother of very successful woman. And we should not forget he wanted to remove Billie from Debbie’s will as soon as Carrie died.
Billie never called them out by name but of course fame hungry Todd and his half sisters choose to name and shame on a gossip channel.
So you had no idea your niece wasn't close to you after you hadn't spoken in years even though she had kids. Why didn't you reach out when she had kids? Don't most families show up or call when a new little one is born? How could you really not now, and shame on you for making it a big deal (on posts was one thing -mulit interviews make it a big deal)
Life is too short, Billie. Maturity is when you can sit down face to face and talk it over. Nobody wins when you hold a grudge.
Exactly, tell that to Todd giving interviews about her niece non stop
And speaking about her babies, damage control 101. The man doesn’t have a mature bone in his body, he’s tasteless.
Wow Billie. Life is too short for this BS. Your Uncle deserves to tell his story...your Mom and Grandmother both told theirs..🙄😣
Very sad! Self-centered niece!
@@KatharinaK117She’s not entitled to speak to him, and you’re calling her entitled when she hasn’t even said what her issue is. What’s entitlement is saying you should meet someone’s babies when you aren’t on good terms, that’s tasteless.
I mean dude you did make money on that book if people bought copies…
So what? Billy Lourd inherited $25 million from her late mother’s estate. It would seem to me that Todd Fisher isn’t the only person profiting from Carrie’s death.
Todd Fisher has a right to write a book about himself, his sister & mother (& make money from it - as did his mother & sister on their books). Billie - Carrie’s daughter, Debbie’s son - his family and life to discuss…just as much as Billie could talk about her relationship with these people. I feel sorry for Todd…he was close to Carrie & his mother - and now his closest relative, closest to those same people has chosen to demonise him & cast him out on his own.
