Lauren Fried Breaks Her Silence Following Jock Zonfrillo’s Death
Background
Jock Zonfrillo, the Scottish-born celebrity chef and MasterChef judge, passed away in his Melbourne hotel room in May. His wife, Lauren Fried, recently spoke out via her late husband’s Instagram account, thanking fans for their support and sharing information about the projects Zonfrillo had been working on. Fried had been with Zonfrillo and their children in Rome before he returned to Australia alone for MasterChef commitments in April.
Gratitude and Love
Fried expressed gratitude for the support her family had received in the aftermath of Zonfrillo’s death, saying that she was “overwhelmed by the messages that came in from people all over the world who knew him or didn’t know him.” She added that she wished her late husband knew “how loved he was and he knew the impact that he had on so many people.”
Future Plans
Fried shared that Zonfrillo had several ongoing projects, including books, a fashion range, and a TV show filmed in Italy with the family. Fried was currently deciding whether to continue Zonfrillo’s social media and share the projects they had been working on. She said that she would put up a poll to decide whether to keep the social media running.
Grief and Empowerment
Fried’s decision to share a video message via her late husband’s Instagram account could be seen as an act of empowerment, allowing her to navigate her grief and connect with her husband’s fans. At the same time, her message also highlights the challenges faced by those grieving in the public eye. The decision of whether to share or withhold personal details is a difficult one, and those who do choose to speak out risk further scrutiny and judgement.
