Mehcad Brooks Defends James Van Der Beek GoFundMe Amid Rising Backlash

Mehcad Brooks, a close friend of James Van Der Beek, defended the GoFundMe campaign for Van Der Beek’s wife and kids after the actor’s death, pushing back at critics who questioned the $2.6 million raised. Brooks posted a blunt rebuttal on Threads, saying it’s unfair to judge people’s generosity or pain. The GoFundMe, started by friends, had reached about $2 million and later hit $2.6 million as supporters mourned Van Der Beek’s passing and his impact. Backlash intensified after a Realtor.com report about a Texas ranch purchase; Van Der Beek’s representative said the down payment was funded through a trust with help from friends. The piece underscores the family’s grief and the actor’s lasting influence.
