A heartbroken Aubrey Plaza has spoken publicly for the first time since the shocking death of her husband Jeff Baena. The 47-year-old writer and director was recently found dead by his assistant after he took his own life at his Los Angeles home on Friday.
In a short statement obtained by several media outlets, a representative conveyed the message on her behalf stating, “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.’ The statement comes after Plaza was forced to skip her presence at the 82nd annual Golden Globes Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, Sunday.
After reviewing Baena’s demise, Los Angeles County Medical Examiner officers declared cause of his death as suicide. Before acknowledging her husband’s death, the actress’s representative gave a statement to Deadline that “The family is devastated and asks for privacy at this difficult time.”
Baena was known for directing the movies “The Little Hours” and “Horse Girl”. His most recent film was 2022’s “Spin Me Round,” which starred Plaza and Alison Brie.
