When you’re caught in the orbit of someone accused of unspeakable crimes, distance becomes survival. That’s the position Aysia Collins finds herself in now—a former friend of the singer D4vd, who was arrested in April on charges of murdering the teenager Celeste Rivas.

The internet had been relentless, accusing Collins of cosplaying as Celeste simply because they share similar features: curly hair and the same social circle. The allegations stung enough that Collins finally broke her silence this week, and when she did, she didn’t hold back. She called out the absurdity of being compared to Celeste based on physical traits alone, then pivoted to something far more damning—a full character assassination of the man she once called a friend.

Collins describes D4vd as a psychopath who lied and betrayed everyone around him. It’s the kind of statement that carries weight only when it comes from someone who was actually there, who shared that inner circle. She’s not speculating from a distance; she’s speaking from experience. Her frustration isn’t just about the false accusations leveled against her—it’s about the violation of trust, the revelation that someone you knew was capable of the unthinkable. Celeste Rivas’s mutilated body was found in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla in the Hollywood Hills back in September 2025, months before his arrest. He’s since been charged with murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.

Collins’s statement matters because it reflects a pattern we’re seeing unfold across D4vd’s social circle. Other notable friends, including Neo Langston, have also distanced themselves from the singer in the months since Celeste was found. These aren’t random departures—they’re the footprints of people waking up to a truth they can’t unsee. When multiple people from the same inner circle turn on someone simultaneously, it usually means the mask slipped long before the charges were filed.

What makes Collins’s comments particularly striking is her demand for thoughtfulness around Celeste’s case. She’s pushing back against the noise, the conspiracy theories, the casual cruelty of online speculation. In a media landscape where tragedy becomes content fodder within hours, her insistence on treating this with dignity feels almost radical. Celeste deserves more than rumors and cosplay accusations. She deserves the actual truth, whatever that turns out to be in court.

For Collins, reclaiming her own narrative means accepting that being in the wrong room at the right time still marks you. But it also means refusing to let that define her.
