Earlier this week, Crawley addressed the recent breakup on Instagram for the first time since the news broke.

“I hate that I even have to say this, but in response to all the questions that are coming my way right now…I’m choosing not to speak right now on the details of my relationship, because at the end of the day anyone can put on an ACT or throw words together to form any narrative they want,” she captioned an Instagram photo of her hand intertwined with her mother’s.

“What I will speak on is emotionally and physically I’m going through a lot with healing frommy recent surgerystill, andmy mother being placed on hospice carenow,” Crawley continued. “So my energy is focused on grieving, healing, and being present at home here in Sacramento while trying to share and help others going through similar life experiences as I’m sharing today.”
