Johnson shared some heartfelt memories in an emotional Instagram Live in November 2022, following the news of Frank’s death at 49 by suicide.
“I just came on here because I was feeling really sad and really it’s really hitting home today what had happened and that he’s gone,” Johnson said through tears.
“I don’t know. I just thought of all of you guys because I know how much you all meant to him and how much you guys are probably in the same amount of pain and so sad.”

She continued, “He was such a force and such a bright, bright, crazy, wild, funny light. I just can’t even believe it. My head hurts so bad.”
Before wrapping up the Instagram Live with one final song, Johnson spoke about the importance of seeking help if you need it.
“Anybody who is out there who is feeling depressed and like there’s no hope, just know that that’s not the way and there is help and you do have a community here,” she said. “Just reach out. Reach out for help if you are feeling like that. F—. It f—— sucks. Sorry for the swearing, but it really f—— sucks. Sorry.”
