George Rivera used his segment on “The Price of Glee” to recount the FaceTime conversation he and Naya Rivera had, shortly before she died. “First of all, I said, ‘Naya, you’re on a pontoon boat, that’s not a boat … why are you on a pontoon boat?'” said George, via People. He continued, “I said, ‘Do not jump off that effin’ boat. If you’ve got an anchor, you can anchor it, but do you know how to anchor it?” Unfortunately, Naya never responded as the call dropped. Once law enforcement officials contacted him about Naya’s disappearance, his mind jumped to the worst-case scenario. “I knew immediately when I got the phone call in Knoxville that it was over with,” he said. “You don’t find a drifting, 5-year-old child asleep on a boat at the end of a lake without his mother and have any hope.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time that George spoke out about his call with Naya. In June 2021, George spoke with E! News and echoed similar sentiments. After Naya reportedly asked him if it would be safe for her to take a swim, he urged against it. “I could see that the wind was blowing and my stomach was just cringing,” shared George. “I kept telling her, ‘Don’t get out of the boat! Don’t get out of the boat! It will drift away when you’re in the water.'”
