I’m in disbelief… still desperate to think this is part of an elaborate prank. That seems like something he’d do, right? The truth is, no matter how desperate I am to not believe it, my friend Oliver has passed away.
Oliver was such a unique soul, he had an ability that was unmatched by anyone else I know; to make friends in all corners of the world. Sincere friendship too, not just internet friendships of convenience.
He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. His style of self-deprecation was universal. Every media appearance he’s ever done was hilarious, refreshing and unique in a way that only he could bring.
He was a true artist, in every sense of the word. Everything he brought into the world, he brought with his true self. Every time he would come on our show, it would involve weeks of lengthy conversations of planning and brainstorming. Ordinary was never an option. It had to be the best possible appearance. And it always was.
Music and film were his true passions. He produced every music video, every song with every ounce of his soul. He spent every dime to bring his vision to life. He had no use for money beyond what it could do to improve his art. He used to laugh about how he annoyed his label because he was always hitting them up for cash advances for his next big project.
His support team was composed of his childhood friends, proof that he was the type of person that was fiercely loyal to those he loved. The type of genuine person that kept the same friends for life. And he was always adding more and more friends along the way.
He spent the last year traveling the world. Traveling across every inch. Visiting places I would never dream of going. He wanted to know the world and all its people, all the different types of ways people lived, so he could become an even more profound artist. I could see him evolving, growing, maturing, and the essence of what he collected was clear: love, friendship, art. All the things that transcended borders and time. Last we spoke, he was planning to go to Antarctica.
“I totally get it if you can’t but it will be really special and would mean the world if you came through! Would love to see you both.”
That was the last thing he ever said to me. He was having an album release party. We didn’t make it.
Everything he touched was better for it. Every person he met was more whole for it. As a person, I’ve lost a dear friend and collaborator. But the real tragedy is that the world lost a true artist, a passionate and gifted story teller, and a radiant light that shined upon so many of us. His light is now extinguished and my life, and the world, is darker for it.
I hope I can be more like Oliver Tree when I grow up. Bon voyage, my friend. See you on the other side. Life goes on and on and on without you.
@BrianEntin You are by far my fave reporter for all news but especially on your ongoing and compassionate reporting of Nancy Guthrie. As soon as I wake up, I click on your channel. You deserve an award of some kind. #NancyGuthrieKidnapping#BringNancyHome

@MaxGoddard13 you are a fantastic attorney, watching you in action, I would vote for you as my voice in any trial if needed, you show compassion, kindness and patience.
I wish more attorneys were like you Max Goddard!
I haven’t shared any thoughts about the Sean Combs trial cuz the last thing the world needed was another uninformed decision about the #Diddy trial. What I do know is that my friends Brian Steel and Nicole Westmoreland are great lawyers and more importantly great people.
@Cardisgneration@Belcardi11 I was just waiting for the plaintiffs attorney to mention the color of her hair again. Fucking asshole!!
Ambulance chaser!!!
@Rae3arm@Belcardi11 That attorney has to be one of the worst I have ever witnessed. Thinks it's good to have more than one witness who will say the same thing because it makes it 'more believable'?! Wtf! Thank fuck this Judge doesn't want to waste the jury's time!
@Lizbethne30 Yes, and it was very noticeable he got choked up when saying this in trial. Eyes watered, swallowed deeply.
He can't help but convey his disbelief at her disinterest and callousness. Shattered. So many lives ruined.
He said this was the last time he spoke to Donna
#DonnaAdelson
@formerdogmom@queen__valerie_ I keep thinking about him too. Hopefully he can move forward with his life now that he has testified, it felt like he had been frozen in time to when his mother had told him so matter of factly.
He has all the positive qualities his siblings do not!
#DonnaAdelson
@queen__valerie_ I can’t stop thinking about his testimony. The heaviness and the palpable sadness makes my heart hurt for him.
In a world full of evil, good people do exist. Rob Adelson is one of them. 🥹
#DonnaAdelsonTrial
Rob Adelson testified that Wendi sent him pictures of Jeff at the end of June 2014 and said her parents didn’t know about Jeff. Jeff was 100% being set up not only by Wendi but Donna, Harvey and Charlie. #DonnaAdelsonTrial#DonnaAdelson
Donna did one thing right; she raised a son of extraordinary moral character. I'll give her that much. Thank you, Rob Adelson. You are a hero! I choked up at his testimony just like I did when Officer Bairros said "absolutely not" about the taillight condition.
Trying to hug his parents? Mindi's Mom cannot hug her!!! To know that your loved one was murdered and THEN dismembered and he has the audacity to turn around and try and hug his Mom and Dad??
Go fuck yourself #NicholasKassotis you evil asshole.
