Oscar-Winning Actress Regina King sat down with trusted news anchor Robin Roberts a few days ago. The actress opened up in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts about her son’s untimely death and discussed the importance of her new movie “Shirley.” Two years after her son took his life, which was a shock to the whole world. This was her first time speaking out about her late son Ian Alexander Jr,. who died by suicide in January 2022 at the age of 26. My condolences goes out to her because I know this was such a sad story to relive, my heart aches for her!
