Naya was a fierce talent with so much more to do and this is such a terrible tragedy. We are forever grateful for the indelible contribution she made to GLEE, from the first episode to the last. Our hearts are broken and our thoughts go out to her family, friends and young son.

Demi Lovato (Dani in Glee) 

Demi Lovato speelde in het vijfde seizoen van Glee het vriendinnetje van Naya's personage Santana Lopez. "Jouw rol was grensverleggend voor duizenden meisjes die nog uit de kast moesten komen of openlijk queer waren", schrijft de zangeres. "Ik zal het altijd koesteren dat ik jouw vriendin mocht spelen in Glee."

RIP Naya Rivera. I’ll forever cherish the opportunity to play your girlfriend on Glee. The character you played was groundbreaking for tons of closeted queer girls (like me at the time) and open queer girls, and your ambition and accomplishments were inspiring to Latina women all over the world. My heart goes out to your loved ones at this time.. ❤️🕊

Jane Lynch, die een Emmy won voor haar rol als Sue Sylvester in Glee, laat ook van zich horen. "Wat een kracht was jij." 

Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were. Love and peace to your family.

Kevin McHale (Artie in Glee) 

Kevin heeft een uitgebreid eerbetoon geschreven aan zijn goede vriendin. Hij omschrijft hoe ze 'vorige week nog besproken om naar Hawaii te vluchten'. "Ik ben dankbaar voor alle manieren waarop zij mij een beter persoon heeft gemaakt. (...) Als je het geluk had haar te kennen, weet je dat haar meest natuurlijke talent moeder zijn was."

My Naya, my Snixxx, my Bee. I legitimately can not imagine this world without you. • 7 years ago today, she and I were together in London when we found out about Cory. We were so far away, but I was so thankful that we had each other. A week ago today we were talking about running away to Hawaii. This doesn’t make sense. And I know it probably never will. • She was so independent and strong and the idea of her not being here is something I cannot comprehend. She was the single most quick-witted person I’ve ever met, with a steel-trap memory that could recall the most forgettable conversations from a decade ago verbatim. The amount of times she would memorize all of those crazy monologues on Glee the morning of and would never ever mess up during the scene… I mean, she was clearly more talented than the rest of us. She was the most talented person I’ve ever known. There is nothing she couldn’t do and I’m furious we won’t get to see more. • I’m thankful for all the ways in which she made me a better person. She taught me how to advocate for myself and to speak up for the things and people that were important to me, always. I’m thankful for the times I grew an ab muscle from laughing so hard at something she said. I’m thankful she became like family. I’m thankful that my dad happened to have met her weeks before I did and when I got Glee, he told me to “look out for a girl named Naya because she seemed nice.” Well dad, she was nice and she became one of my favorite people ever. • If you were fortunate enough to have known her, you’ll know that her most natural talent of all was being a mother. The way that she loved her boy, it was truly Naya at her most peaceful. I’m thankful that Naya got that beautiful little boy got back on that boat. I’m thankful he will have a strong family around him to protect him and tell him about his incredible mom. I just hope more than anything that her family is given the space and time to come to terms with this. For having such tiny body, Naya had such a gigantic presence, a void that will now be felt by all of us - those of us who knew her personally and the millions of you who loved her through your TVs. I love you, Bee.

Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina in Glee)

Jenna omschrijft hoeveel lol ze met Naya heeft gehad, en veel martini's en geheimen met haar heeft gedeeld. "Ik kan niet geloven dat ik het als vanzelfsprekend zag dat je altijd hier zou zijn. (...) Je bent zo geliefd."

There are no words and yet so many things I want to say, I don't believe I'll ever be able to articulate exactly what I feel but... Naya, you were a ⚡️ force and everyone who got to be around you knew it and felt the light and joy you exuded when you walked into a room. You shined on stage and screen and radiated with love behind closed doors. I was lucky enough to share so many laughs, martinis and secrets with you. I can not believe I took for granted that you'd always be here. Our friendship went in waves as life happens and we grow, so I will not look back and regret but know I love you and promise to help the legacy of your talent, humor, light and loyalty live on. You are so loved. You deserved the world and we will make sure Josey and your family feel that everyday. I miss you already.

How can you convey all your love and respect for someone in one post? How can you summarize a decade of friendship and laughter with words alone? If you were friends with Naya Rivera, you simply can’t. Her brilliance and humor were unmatched. Her beauty and talent were otherworldly. She spoke truth to power with poise and fearlessness. She could turn a bad day into a great day with a single remark. She inspired and uplifted people without even trying. Being close to her was both a badge of honor and a suit of armor. Naya was truly one of a kind, and she always will be. 💔 Sending all my love to her wonderful family and her beautiful son.

Lea Michele (Rachel in Glee) 

Ook de zwangere Lea Michele staat op haar social media stil bij Naya. Niet met woorden, maar met beelden van zowel Naya als Cory Monteith. Cory, die Finn speelde in Glee, overleed op 13 juli 2013 aan een overdosis. Hij had een relatie met Lea. En precies zeven jaar later, op 13 juli 2020, is het levenloze lichaam van Naya gevonden. Eng toeval...
