EJ Johnson cleared the air about not addressing the untimely death of his friend, reality TV personality Lyric McHenry, who was found dead in the Bronx with a baggie of cocaine on her person.
EJ returned to Instagram.com after a brief hiatus and responded to a blogger who questioned why he didn’t mention Lyric’s death.
The flamboyant 26-year-old reality TV star said he did not want to reduce a 25-year friendship into just one Instagram post. Which implied that he would mourn his friend privately offline.
In a comment under photos of himself wearing a sports bra and daisy dukes denim shorts, EJ wrote:
“I’m going to make this clear to everyone there will be no mourning post because I’m not going to reduce a 25yr friendship to 1 Instagram post please respect my privacy and my process”.
Is it appropriate for EJ not to share his feelings about his friend’s death online? Or is he wrong to ignore his followers’ requests to pay tribute his friend?
This is how white liberals want to see all young black men. Wake up family.
Magic and Cookie must be shamed to have this BEAR out his like this…
His comment just did though
This dude looks so disgusting
I thought that was Fantasia in them booty shorts at first glance ?
I DID TOO, DONT KNOW IF THATS A GOOD OR BAD THING
You’re turrable, just turrable.
I still think something is mighty fishy here….me thinks that girl died in a “friends” hotel room or apt and they panicked and dumped her body on that highway.
LMAO – Dayum! Don’t do Fanny like that!

Let me get this straight (pun intended) this fruit bowl can dress like a circus freak and post it every where but this weirdo can’t shout out his dead homey ? Yea right, sounds like a guilty criminal to me
I literally stared for a minute in total disbelief. Then had to scroll down for the comments.

I’m with EJ don’t tell me how to grieve. He killing those shorts literally ??
Chile, them shorts is down for the count.
EJ lives their (yes, I used this pronoun on purpose because respectfully, I’m not sure how they gender identify) entire life on social media, so this statement seems in opposition to that, just like their man hands seems in direct opposition to that entire outfit. Hands, neck and feet always tell the truth though.
I heard that… I feel him….
I think so too. None of them want to be associated with her now cause they were all partying on the same sh|t.
Me too
Magic Johnson must have did something real bad because EJ ain’t nothing but karma .
I kno that middle part stank he be going too much ?
Ok, I definitely respect what he wrote, but I CANNOT respect the pic he posted. I need eye bleach!!! *goes back to Serena post*
I agree with him. To me, first off, the blogger was being facetious, don’t ask me something you already know the answer to. . Don’t start off by asking “didn’t your friend die”.. Like for real? Why couldn’t you start off with sounding a lil bit sympathetic? I swear people get in my nerves.
And my entire soul! Kilt em…??
EJ is only 26, and he claims they had a 25-year relationship. Either he’s lying or…
Lawd https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/336cbea44d9a2b8d6b3e685074a24b17aa02d6d26f663034f5920ec1be29f9e6.gif
I try to be ?
He’s only 26???
This is what Memes are made of…
EJ’s saying:
Is this what you want?
Respectfully huh?
Why though? Lol
Yes. He was born June 4, 1992.
I like EJ and his free spirit when it comes to his attire. Hey boo!
Whenever I ask my friends why they are Democrats, they can’t give me a straight answer. Then ask them if they support illegal immigration, sexual predators, sexual politics, high taxes and high Black unemployment. They say no. ??

Crazy part is that he got a big ass head and it still looks small compared to his full body ?
I will say I haven’t seen him tumble in those high heels he sports sometimes so salute. Mourn your way
I didn’t like the picture of Serena bent over in those black spandex and if we are really being honest she and EJ got the same build so no difference from where I’m sitting.
Don’t leave out the white republicans.
Well both parties are cut from the same cloth and their heads (D-Soros) (R- Koch’s) are just playing us.
Why doesn’t he just go full-on trans? He should get with Jenner to find out how to transition?
OT: Prince family in another lawsuit, this time suing the doctor:https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8472131/prince-family-sues-doctor-prescribed-pain-pills
LMBO! I can’t! No this evening!
I respect that 100%. By the way i heard the night she died some guy came to meet her at the club but bouncers wouldn’t let him in so she left with him. I hope her family get answers soonest
You better stop telling the truth.
Ms.Sandra you know these kids today exaggerate things. Cookie, Magic and the girl’s parents are good friends. She became EJ friend when he was 1 years old?! ??????????
He looks like he is gaining weight?!
ughhhhhhh I swear social media got folks all f*ucked up. People really believe that they’re privy to everything! We’ve grown so accustomed to people over sharing, therefore privacy seems like a foreign concept. EJ doesn’t have to mourn publicly, to pacify these social media junkies.
EJ swears he has tiddays!??????????
People just like to know every single thing about others personal business, so they can judge. Everyone grieves in their own way and that should not have to be explained.
EJ is correct!
Yes, respectfully. Your point? If you are not sure whether someone is transgender, and you aren’t sure of their gender identity, the “they/their/them” pronoun is considered gender neutral and therefore safe.
The only thing I know about EJ is what I read on this blog. He (because Sandra referred to him as “he” when she responded to my comment) dresses like a woman, but I don’t know if he is trans or just a gay man that likes to dress like a woman. I have my opinions, but I try to always be respectful when I express them.
He looks a lot older than 26, and so does his hands. He posts his whole life on social media, but doesn’t want to exploit the death of his friend – I get and respect that, it’s just contrary to the attention he seems to always be seeking. And that outfit is a whole mess, and would be a whole mess on anyone IMO…and he needs to take better care of his hands.
You want to be respectful to his gender but when you’re discussing his appearance, it’s the opposite?…..that was the point for me.
My face upon entering this post…??…my face currently…? we’re going to be left here all weekend huh Sandra ?

Somebody needs to BEAT HIS A$$!?
You know how Sandra like to play ?. Look how she finna do us ????
EJ sitting up there like “bish what” ???. He being petty and mesyy ???

??? wooo weee! Jezzy smh ????? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/22b26d4fede6ba7bd8eccb7711d02a7b23a6879eebe27e97ff054a435cf9fc7a.gif
Because they weren’t THAT close no matter what he said. If so he’d have nicely gave his condolence from the jump. Boy stop messing with those filters you look like Godzilla in daisy dukes. Also, RIP she had ‘crazy eyes’ aka tweeking. I’m sure they’ll catch the punk who dumped her on the street.
Folks mourn in different ways. Not mad at that.
However I am mad at his ENTIRE get-up!
I’m still trying to understand why people think that we have to display alllllll of our emotions, thoughts, non-thoughts..etc on social medai
That is the most mature sh!t I’ve heard in a long time. Much respect to him for telling ppl to get the hell out his b.
This is totally awful a black woman feeling so bad she doing cocaine while she pregnant and doing so much she kill her self and her baby…and this going on everyday with black women in one form or the other where is the outrage
SO taking naked pics on the beach is how you commemorate a 24yr relationship..yea fckn right. Smh selfish
Exactly !
Please forgive me but ??
I’m right there with you, Especially “his ENTIRE get-up”. I’m like what in DEE (the) h3ll dis boi got on? *My ggm voice* ????? ???
Is that your baby? She’s sooo adorable. Made my night.
I’d cry every night if this were my son.
???
Only because he is the son of Magic Ervin Johnson and is gay/androgynous, some people are concerned about his thoughts of his friend passing. If he wasn’t gay/androgynous, this post wouldn’t be here. Let him mourn in his own peace. He doesn’t owe ANYONE an explanation.
I swear he is soooo extra…legs cocked open and all ???
You know what ???.
Turrable?
Awww! No ?. My baby girl is 14 and my son is 20. This yummy blessing belongs to someone else. I’m happy the gif made your night!! ???
Sandra where’s the removal of this racist post?
Now I said Meghan Markel needs to eat, gain weight and give the Royals something to talk about & it was considered racist but this…isn’t?
If u dont comment on social media about something, that means you dont give AF? Weird world.
He lives his life in the media. He posted his friendship with her online for public viewing, consumption, commentary, opinion and recognition. It would seem fittingly appropriate that he would acknowledge her loss even in the most menial manner.
EJ is mentally ill and a narcissist and he cares only for himself. His hiatus from SM wasn’t for mourning but to make sure the story doesn’t outshine him.
“This yummy blessing” – cute and heartwarming.
Seeing his big stank ashy azz straddling that Wall is the only thing I have a problem with. ?????
All I dunno is that EJ come to slay all day and that’s a beautiful community that he’s in
How is this racial I am Black and I am speaking of an ongoing problem in OUR community
what are you blind? You cant dress like that looking like sasquatch
no we do this to straight people too. nice try tho
He kind of does that.
“Follow, no “RUN” ninga!
Is he transitioning??
Mr. Potato head!!! ?
Who cares … RIP to that young woman … and Hello to Sandra Rose !
And this deserve attention because of?????
OT: Aretha’s funeral and guests. http://www.showbiz411.com/2018/08/24/aretha-franklin-will-get-royal-send-off-fit-for-a-queen-bill-clinton-smokey-robinson-clive-davis-cicely-tyson-among-funeral-speakers
Anywho, is this going to stream?
I hope so!! I want to see her homegoing celebration. ?
I’m sorry but his head and arms/shoulders don’t match the bottom half…
ROTFLMFAO…U SO OUTTA LINE?????????????
That is correct.
I see ej & am torn btwn being grateful he is who he is & not a fuckboy DL disease passing woman hating nxggx & wondering how beautiful of a masculine, male leader/provider father & husband (traditional ) to a wife of the same color he could have been. .. but grateful he where he at & not destroying someone else’s life with his process.
That pic of EJ ??
LOL! Child, talk about unflattering! I’m all for living your truth, but have some couth EJ LOL.
When your that big being a woman shouldn’t even cross your mind. IJS
Hate to admit it but I agree with Ej
I know EJ has the right to be who he is but at what point do u say my father is an NBA legend and I don’t want to embarrass him??? Wear your heels and shyt but also be mindful of your family is all I’m saying
He’s 100% right on this. He doesn’t owe it to anybody to post something on social media about this, just to please outsiders. Every person has the right to grieve their own way.
I see this gon be a 6 hour funeral like coretta Scott king? I remember watching her funeral on my work study job in college
He’s a typical homosexual. Self-absorbed and cavalier.
Funny …most of my Iv drug abuse pts are young white females. It’s so bad that some even end up getting infections in their heart valves. Often they are also mothers. Nice try though. Addiction has no race, nor does it discriminate.
They be SO literal on here sometimes just’cause they can’t see the gag …I said “be more pacific” on here one day and the grammar police ? lost their sh^t, smh. I just started blocking them when I saw that they genuinely thought we needed flash cards, Lol!?
I don’t think he’s grieving at all. I don’t think he cares about anyone… he certainly doesn’t give a damn about his parents’ feelings.
He reminds me of a reckless man-in-a-dress that I know. The day his mother died, he was on Facebook showing off his new wigs and making duck lips for the camera. When someone mentioned his mother’s death, he said, it was a private matter. However, it wasn’t a private matter when he was trying to use his mother’s illness as a way to solicit money from his Facebook friends.
People who are grieving, don’t have time to play on the internet.
I think you are courageous with your insight. I appreciate your comments.
I say this on every EJ post.
He is the spitting image and mannerisms of his mother with the height, body size, and shoe size of his father.
He is determined to be a BAD bitch.
I wonder if in private are his parents honest with their grief.
Heartbreaking.
I don’t understand how the young lady had parents who loved her, privilege, fame, beauty, yet died in the street with her unborn.
He’s ready to pop that bu**y for the weekend…??
That is the most adorable gif ever. She has so much personality. She’s beautiful.
They were Hollywood close, fake close. Grow up together, hang out together, get high together, go through heck and back over and over again together and still manage to not be there for each other when it matters most.
This young lady was 5 months pregnant and no one knew, can’t have felt more alone and isolated than that.
She was sniffing cocaine and to be honest I am black and more concerned about my race than what whites have going on
ej proports himself as a “inspiration body positive goal”. his crackhead friend doesn’t fit that motif. that’s all this is. if she would’ve died in a dignified way she would’ve gotten a post. its disgusting because he has all the money in the world. he can afford to be generous. instead of not mentioning her name under some daisy duke post, he could’ve given her a black post and wrote the same thing underneath. I understand not causing attention to her manner of death. I don’t like that the press has released these details so soon. however, she was on his show. she stood by him when he looked a mess. the least she could get is a statement SINCE THEY LIVED ON SOCIAL MEDIA. if you have bar friends you go to the bar. nothing disrespected but a simple “I don’t want to talk about it”. you can tell from social media and a few episodes of his shows that he isn’t anyones friend.
since disqus as implemented recaptcha I don’t comment as much. some of my favorite sites comment section has dropped tremendously.
From this pressure society puts on these young people the vast majority of these people on TV are narcissistic and on drugs and when somebody is better than them or they have problems they cope with it through drug use
I wont say all but its something about lying then “coming out” that changes a person. its like they feel they have to be a certain way.
Yes sprawled out in the street I don’t even think she had a top on … this is awful
if he was a woman the same would apply. like whats the point. we all know he is just dressing like this for social media. he used to dress respectfully.
they lived on social media. it has nothing to do with him being gay.
plus the money. her father is a producer and her mom was a model but I think she moved to set design or something like that. if lyric couldn’t make it as a model without drugs then she should’ve found another career. these people have options. that’s what really sad. their mental state is so f-ed up.
white woman have always been the number 1 addicts. however their families keep it private. that’s also why they normally die young(ish). they also get the benefit of when they get clean they get to pretend it never happened.
now, that you mention it on his shows he is mindful of if someone is outshining him. you are probably right and that makes it worse. once it was obvious lyric wasn’t going to make it as a celebutante she should’ve made new friends.
its like the press is trying to frame it like she got high and overheated. it looks to me like she had a bad reaction and when they couldn’t get her responsive they dumped her on the bridge. sad. they should’ve simply called her a car to take her to the hospital.
Thank you. When you’re honest with yourself, you can be honest with other people.
People often confuse liberation with the ability to discard other people’s feelings. Being liberated means you are free to be your most authentic, best self. Part of your authenticity should be the ability to care about others.
Most homosexuals spend their entire lives lying and living in the shadows. When they finally get the courage to be themselves, they become so self-absorbed, they lose their ability to empathize with others. In a way, they become hypersexual sociopaths.
EJ obviously doesn’t see what others see when he looks in the mirror on a daily bases. He looks horrible in the above photo.
teena marie on aretha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIAdp0sd7XA
He can mourn her death as he sees fit….it ain’t nobody else business.
It bothered you to say how you felt about your friend on social media, but it doesn’t bother you to take half naked pics all the time for the world to see???
he isn’t anyones friend.
****
Exactly.
Devastating.
Tragic.
Ever thought celebs hv the most jacked up personal lives & add children to the mix they are the modern day New Zoo Review. Either he has self esteem off the charts or I’m rich b!tch I can be whatever I want. It makes me think all shim life he was raised not seeing anything wrong.
Yess! This little blessing came here full of heavenly life! Facial expression and all. ?????
It should be a wake up call about what this “celebrity” life is all about but you have millions want to get right involved in a cess pool of drugs and vultures
OMG Thank you!! That damn thing made me crazy. I was like WTF I checked the damn street sign.. lol
I don’t think he need to publicly ackhos friend death but those fits now that’s another damn story ???
EJ better than me, because the petty Capricorn in me would not have responded at all.
I want to say so much but people are straight losing their jobs because of expressing their feelings. I will say this he always look a damn hot mess and cheap. Project hood ghetto cheap.
Faux friends. Most of us have kicked it with people we really may not respect or be close to.I don’t believe the lie nobody knew she was pregnant and of course she knew. At five months the baby is moving. Her people are lying.
I just wanna ask EJ, “who hurt you?”
EJ wanna be a good dime so badly. He wanna be up there chilling with the rappers and shit but security shows him the door every time he tries to get in. That shit must suck having all the money and still getting rejected. He might as well still be fat. He want a hood dude but other than some old fat wealthy white guy what hood dude gonna climb that tree. Well probably a couple with all the sweet shit going on
Very evil, I do think there is more to it
Ewwww! Grosss.barf
He can get his back blown out anytime but most of them would be using him for money or resources-and he’s smart enough to know this. I bet he hires trade and they sign NDA.
plus its mainly based on “what others have posted before you”. so if you see all 5 signs but everyone else only caught 4 then they system is going to give you another test. bogus.
He needs some serious psychological help…
what is “sweeet sh_t”?
there is no way as a parent you could support this foolishness! On Oprah Cookie said she had to have a talk with God about this. Your father is a legend and this is whta you do as a son? Please magic dont say you are proud you are in a state of denial and shock my prayers are with you.
You are so right! White folks handle their business differently.
I think his ego is distancing himself from his friend because of the seedy circumstances of her death are not good press for him and his show. The nerve of EJ looking down on anyone. Privacy is one thing. Shame is another. He’s ashamed of his friend’s tragic end.
And his “process” is to post provocative pics in girl’s clothing. Put some RESPECK on that!!!
I run into this same problem on red–dit. some of its forgivable because they are foreigners pretending to be native English speakers. but the americans who don’t get the joke is unforgiveable. how sheltered of a life does one have to live to never have heard these old jokes. even if they never heard of then they should be able to figure it out. just say it out loud. basketcase, get down, shucks, these people have never heard these phrase and have the nerve to get snippy.
How sexy on a post talking about a friends death… Bet that bih was around that night
He is just a disgusting thing, when it going to go away? I feel sorry for his parents
You summed it up perfectly. And, the extra “snippy” ones are the worst because I suspect they’re poised, clenched, and half breathless, anticipating the moment they can swoop down and assert their grammatical superiority (never mind their own failures to ‘dot’ and ‘cross’ consistently, lol). Bless their hearts.?
Lol, idk. I think ej has a more feminine shape than serena
The u.s. does not educate ppl. Black ppl seem COMPLETELY UNAWARE that the democratic party originated from low class white immigrants who could not find any work opportunities once they got off the boat over here bc black men&women were considered skilled laborers who were able to hire themselves out & earn money they could buy their freedom with & these immigrant servants politicized into “democrats” who organized political campaigns to end that practice of hiring black workers. Now black ppl follow along with democratic propaganda about how democrats are the “working man’s” party… the white working man trying to undermine black wealth/labor options is what they fail to explain with each election
I’m not sure what white liberals is rly referring to but I do want to know what black men are doing to not project such inferior images? Are they building families&communities, acting with mature sexual behaviors (like marriage to an adult female that doesn’t require perverse sexual activities to be in place )? Or are they busy promoting white slavery, promiscuity , broken homes & broken minds that contribute to inferior imagery of what black men represent? ija&this isn’t a personal attack on you.. ja… the United States has its own fvckd up karma to live
Youd be surprised how man rappers would love to smash him. Have them guys be on the downlow themselves
But in PRiVATE. Minkie Babie is right, he is still rejected. It’s sad he couldn’t post even a special message for his friend but posted that awful pic
I agree with you on this. What a shallow existence he lives. I feel bad when he FINALLY realized he so has no friends and life isn’t about all this bulls**t
Many are but some are really good human beings. It’s about your character
The shit we’re looking at. He’s a damn gladiator or titan dressed like a 20 year old woman. I see his bits through the cut off.
I’m gay. I’m offering my perspective from the inside, looking out. True, like all people, there’s good and bad in the gay community. However, most of the gay men I know, aren’t very nice people. They put on an act and they are very good at playing the victim, but they have little or no respect for others.
I have witnessed gay men having a full blown orgry in the park, on a busy sidewalk, while senior citizens and families with children are passing by. When one queen overheard me calling the police, she called me a cawk-blocker.
Sorry, but gay doesn’t mean I’m an immoral freak with no consideration for others.
Understood I have a gay best friend and he’s awesome but you’re right many of them are shallow and promiscuous
“you can tell from social media and a few episodes of his shows that he isn’t anyones friend.” x1000.00
^^^^this cant be denied.. and this is why he can do this so effortlessly..he reminds me of Rupaul in that way..
if he added weave tho…..
They don’t know where they are.
Agreed, I doubt they were that close. He seemed to care less
??
He looks a little like Nene L. somehow in that picture…
“I’m going to make this clear to everyone there will be no
mourning post because I’m not going to reduce a 25yr friendship to 1
Instagram post please respect my privacy and my process”.
His head is too damn big for a weave…. Lmaooo!
U know what makes me feel even sadder? I have the SAME fu*king sports bra in the SAME fu*king color!
I try not comment too much on said person, I’m not even sure the LGBTQ community fully accepts this…..*lol*
I wish EJ would just be a regular gay man and dress in men clothes…. Or get a make over… The women clothes he wears just makes him look like hot stank trash everytime! .
I beg to differ, rappers/singers (especially blk) tend to want “lady-boys” (not sure if Rick n’ balls still down there, but they have bobs and can contour like a moe’foe).Ej may think he’s a “lady”, but NO matter what he does (surgical or not….if he chooses so) HE IS A STRONG LOOKING MAN!
*dick* *boobs *
That’s exactly what happened.
LMAOOOO @ the same sports bra.
I was thinking the same thing. If you wish to grieve in private how about doing EVERYTHING in private like walking around looking like that. I am a very loving and accepting person and I would accept my kids being gay, but if I had a big boned damn near 7 ft tall son dressing like this, it would break my heart and he would NOT be able to travel with me or walk around with me like that. I’m sorry, I just can’t get down with this.
Exactly! How the hell would you even be able to stay on the down low walking around with him? The down low brothers are low key with there fuckery. .
No. However, it is wrong for this clown to have followers.
Those are facts you state lyrics!
I’d whoop his ass every time I saw him! Thank you Geezus for not testing me…
