Carrie Fisher's half-sisters, Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher, are speaking out.
"Days after my mom died, her brother and her sister chose to process their grief publicly and capitalize on my mother’s death, by doing multiple interviews and selling individual books for a lot of money, with my mom and my grandmother’s deaths as the subject," ."I found out they had done this through the press. They never consulted me or considered how this would affect our relationship.
ET spoke with Joely -- who was on the WGA picket line -- and Tricia Leigh ahead of the ceremony on Thursday, where Tricia said the ordeal was both"hurtful" and"confusing." She continued,"I had to say something, because that's not who I am. I'm a person of integrity. I adored my sister. I did one news interview that I was asked to do, to speak about my sister, and about the loss, and about who she is as an amazing person, and honestly, we actually did reach out to Billie and say, 'Is this OK with you? Should we do this? Can we do this?' and had her blessing.
She continued,"I want to say that my niece is standing in her truth, which I applaud her for, but she didn't quite get my side of it right. So, I wanted to say that I never profited from her mother's death. I lost my sister and felt that very deeply and went to Billie, and I went through all of our texts and all of my texts with her father, and looked back to see if I had done something that felt wrong.
