‘FRIDAY’ STAR ANTHONY JOHNSON FAMILY BURDENED W/ FUNERAL COSTS … Wife Calls Out ‘Fake Love’

September 22, 2021 192

Anthony Johnson‘s death has left his family scrambling to find a way to cover his burial — something his wife says isn’t being made easy with the empty lip service they’re getting.

Lexis Jones Mason tells TMZ … she and her family have been getting a ton of what she describes as “fake love” left and right in the wake of her husband’s sudden passing earlier this month … which she’s quite upset about, seeing how she needs financial assistance.

This interview’s heartbreaking — Lexis fights back tears as she explains how the Johnson family has started a GoFundMe, but have come up way short of the $20k goal they set to properly bury him and give him the service he deserves … so far raising less than $800.

And, in spite of people apparently telling her they’d donate and chip in … Lexis says much of that just hasn’t materialized, and seems folks would rather lend emotional support instead of actually helping out in a way they really need right now.

Lexis isn’t asking for a handout either, BTW … literally just enough to do right by Anthony. And, as many know, funerals are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.

While she says she doesn’t expect anything from anyone, Lexis would absolutely appreciate any donations friends or fans of AJ could contribute. And, if no one comes through, Lexis says she’ll probably cremate him — and will go back to work ASAP to cover that on her own.

Considering just how beloved Anthony was … something tells us she’ll reach her goal. She’s laying it all out there here with us — and someone’s gotta come through for the Johnsons.
