Ryan Dorsey speaks out
Ryan Dorsey has spoken out amid speculation around his relationship with Naya Rivera's sister Nickayla.
It's after reports emerged earlier this week that they had moved in together, and are raising his son Josey.
This comes three months after the Glee star's tragic death.
Ryan shared a very honest video on Instagram late last night, addressing the speculation.
He began by saying he rarely reads online comments about himself.
"Because I know how there can be 50 good things said and five negative ones."
"Somehow as humans we get those five negative ones stuck in our heads wondering how people could say certain things."

Online trolling
Ryan revealed it recently came to his attention that a number of individuals have been making assumptions about his family.
"They're sending terrible messages, wishing death upon strangers that they truly know next to zero about."
The actor expressed his disappointment that, "this is the world that we live in."

When times get tough, my little man makes it less rough. Today was a good day. 🌞
"Where people were raised to think it's OK to spew hatred, in general."
"Especially when they make statements about a family who are dealing with a tragedy that I hope is so unimaginable that you or anyone that is close to you ever has to go through."

Ryan went on to gush over his and Naya's 5-year-old son Josey.
He said, "He's a sweet, smart, caring, sweetest soul of a young man, who at the age of five is having to grow up so fast and grow up like so many of us didn't have to."
"You know he's so smart and you know he witnessed a nightmare right before his eyes."
Moving in with Nickayla
Ryan later confirmed he and Nickayla have moved in together, "[Josey] asks me if Titi can live with us."
"'I want Titi to live with us forever,' because she's now the closest thing he has to a mom."
"You're going to need all the help you can get as a single parent trying to build your career and navigate this disaster with your child."
He continued, "And to have to let him get what he wants, what he asks for, and what he needs right now, which is his family."
"Even though you know it's temporary and it's not forever."
"It's a temporary situation."

Ryan went on, "After all that he's had to go through how could you deny him that? Because of what?"
"What some strangers might think or say, or spew some hatred based on some ill-advised, ill-logical, misinformed tabloid?"
