“This is something Carrie would have definitely wanted her siblings to be present for. For some bizarre, misguided reason our niece has chosen not to include us in this epic moment in our sister’s career. On Wednesday, Carrie’s half-sisters Joely Fisher and Tricia Leigh Fisher posted photos of the three together on Instagram with a lengthy caption saying, ”In response to all of you asking whether or not we will be part of the celebration….Strangely we won’t be in attendance to celebrate our sister, whom we adored. “As the only brother of Carrie Fisher, being omitted from this special day is truly hurtful.”

“Frankly, it’s a distressing situation and I don’t deserve to be put in this position,” he continued. The Fisher family laundry was aired publicly Tuesday when Todd Fisher told TMZ that it was “heartbreaking and shocking to me that I was intentionally omitted from attending this important legacy event for my sister.” Her brother Todd reflects on the journey. Abrams asked Carrie Fisher’s family for permission to use unused “Star Wars” footage of the actress. Movies Carrie Fisher almost skipped the first ‘Star Wars’ premiere, if not for her brother. Joely Fisher published a memoir, “Growing Up Fisher: Musings, Memories and Misadventures,” less than a year after her half-sister’s death, and in the summer of 2018, Carrie’s only brother, Todd Fisher, published the memoir “My Girls: A Lifetime With Carrie and Debbie.” The next day, Fisher’s mother, Hollywood starlet Debbie Reynolds died at age 84, also in Los Angeles. The “Star Wars” icon died in Los Angeles at age 60 on Dec. Lourd, Carrie Fisher’s daughter with talent agent Bryan Lourd, concluded the statement by saying, “This moment is about Carrie Fisher and all that she accomplished and what she meant to the world. I chose to and still choose to deal with her loss in a much different way.” Lourd stated that the “truth of my mom’s very complicated relationship with her family is only known by me and those who were actually close to her,” adding that their actions following the deaths of her mother and grandmother “were very hurtful to me at the most difficult time in my life.
