The fact they didn’t even clear it with the family says a lot.

I’m sorry, if someone who worked with a family member of mine who passed away, whether they kept in touch or were super close or not, decided to dedicate something to them, especially after they passed a long time ago, I think I would be pretty touched? Like; it doesn’t matter how much time has passed since heath passed away, people still love and remember him and want to keep his memory alive. And the fact that they had the rest of the cast up there too just speaks volumes about how much of an impact heath had, even if the movie is older or people have drifted apart over the years.

Since when does someone need permission to dedicate something they are doing for someone?

For context, Julia and Ezra had decided their dedication night dance would be for the film “10 things I hate about you” but the producers pushed for her to say it was for Heath.

She asked his EX girlfriend? But not his actual family? And she is my fave on the show. I love her and want her to win… but let’s be clear. She and heath WERE NOT friends. They did not keep in touch at all after 10 things I hate about you. This was solely for votes cause the public can’t step out of the past and demanded she do it

I found her dedication super weird and performative. She didn’t even really talk to him ever after that film.

This is such a beautiful example of relational consideration. ❤️Julia could have simply honored someone she shared a meaningful connection with, but she also considered the person who continues to carry his memory and grief. Asking wasn’t about needing permission to remember him. It was about recognizing that our expressions of love and remembrance can touch other people’s hearts, too. That’s a kind of thoughtfulness I wish we practiced more often.

She didn’t have to ask for permission but she knew that this would blow up and that his family would probably get a lot of attention for it and she was trying to be respectful of that.

I can tell some of you have never lost someone close to you. She probably asked because her performance would hit the media and his family would be affected.

It is always respectful to notify the family before doing a dedication especially if it will be public, for the younger generations. The family and people involved should know.

This had nothing to with his family. This was her and her cast mates experience with him. And her personal tribute. Do people ask everyone family’s when post social media tributes?? No

It's very nice of Julia to ask even if Michelle and Heath weren't together anymore at the time of his passing
