Let me tell you a story about David Spade. Last night, this guy was just sitting back, relaxing, and watching The Bachelorette like so many of us do. He was cracking jokes on Instagram, having a good time, and everything seemed normal. But then, the next morning, his whole world turned upside down. You see, news broke that Kate Spade, the iconic designer and wife of his brother Andy Spade, had passed away after committing suicide. Can you imagine how blindsiding that must’ve been? Hours later, David took to Instagram to express his raw, emotional reaction to the loss of his sister-in-law.
David shared a photo of himself and Kate from a Christmas family photo session. "Fuzzy picture but I love it," he wrote in the caption. "Kate and I during Christmas family photos. We had so much fun that day. She was so sharp and quick on her feet. She could make me laugh so hard. I still can't believe it." It's clear that David was completely caught off guard by the tragic news. He went on to urge his followers to hold on during tough times. "It's a rough world out there people, try to hang on," he ended his heartfelt message.
