"You held my hand for a short while, but you’ll hold my heart forever! #DaddysGirl #FathersDay."

"And I feel really disheartened that this has all come to light about what he’s done really, because being in a hospital for such a long time and following all these restrictions and not being able to do so much and having time with your family together…
“And then seeing him doing what he did is so disappointing.”
Safiyya then asked her followers to share their thoughts on the scandal.
