Numerous documentaries are reportedly in development regarding the case of singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, but the family of victim Celeste Rivas has no intention of participating. According to the family's attorney, Patrick Steinfeld, multiple production companies have reached out to the family seeking details and involvement in documentary projects about the case.
Production Companies Approach Family
Due to overwhelming public interest, some production companies have even visited the family's home to discuss participation. However, the family has made it clear they do not wish to be part of any documentaries. This decision comes as media attention on the case continues to grow.
Family's Stance Unchanged
Steinfeld stated that the family has been contacted by many production companies interested in creating documentaries about the alleged relationship between Celeste Rivas and D4vd. While he did not name specific companies, he confirmed that some documentary projects have already secured funding and are currently being produced. Requests for inclusion have come through various channels, including direct contact with the family and attempts via proper channels. Regardless of the approach, the family's response remains the same: they are not interested in appearing in or providing information for any documentaries.
Steinfeld emphasized that filmmakers hoping to include the family will need to proceed without their input. The case continues to attract significant media coverage due to ongoing legal proceedings against D4vd, who is currently held for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas in April 2025. The singer has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Public Interest Persists
The prospect of multiple documentaries about the incident underscores the high level of public interest. Despite the increasing number of production plans, the Rivas family wishes to remain out of the spotlight. Documentary makers may continue their projects, but they will likely do so without direct involvement from Celeste Rivas' family.
