Todd Fisher is speaking out after niece Billie Lourd’s claims that he and his siblings profited from their late mother, Carrie Fisher.
If you didn’t see it, Billie confirmed rumors that she didn’t invite Carrie’s brother Todd or Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher, who are Carrie’s half-siblings, to the upcoming Walk of Fame ceremony.
“The truth is that I did not invite you to this ceremony. They know why,” Billie shared in her statement. “Days after my mother’s death, her brother and sister chose to publicly process their grief and capitalize on my mother’s death, doing multiple interviews and selling individual books for a lot of money, with the death of my mother and grandmother as their theme.”
After she issued a statement on the matter, Todd issued his own, refuting her claims.

In his statement, via TheWrap, Todd said that Billie’s claims are untrue and that he, Joely, and Tricia Leigh contacted her about the allegations.
“We did our best to talk to Billie’s team about the invite before making any public comments,” he shared. “Keeping the focus on Carrie Fisher, let’s put our differences aside for the hour-long ceremony and move on. They told me that she could not go and why would I want to raise the level of emotion for her niece, going further and saying that if I appeared, she did not appear ”.
Todd added that he “never took advantage of Carrie or my mother Debbie [Reynolds]’s, and in no way did he mean to hurt Billie… and that’s the truth.”
“As she has finally communicated these profound seeds [sic] feels publicly and wants nothing to do with me, my response is that I have finally learned where she stands after 7 years… BUT could we just hang out for a moment, put our differences aside and celebrate Carrie Fisher’s legacy the way she deserves and the way she would have wanted?
Carrie passed away in 2016 at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. Just one day later, her mother, Debbie, died of a stroke.
