The Globe magazine has been outed as the tabloid that purchased photos of Gary Coleman’s last moments, and the price tag was $10,000.
His ex-wife, Shannon Price, reportedly took photos of the actor as he lay in a coma in the hospital, then, shopped the pictures to various tabloid outlets.
A magazine insider told Popeater.com that the photos “are so tasteless that none of the glossy magazines wanted to bid on them. This allowed Globe to get them so cheap.”
Todd Bridges, who starred alongside Coleman in “Diff’rent Strokes,” vented on Twitter about the photo leak, saying, “To find out pics of Gary Coleman in his last days got out I hope someone burns in hell for this one … Only one person could be behind this and this is so dang sick to say you love someone and do this — yeah right.”
In one of the pictures, Shannon leans down and poses next to Coleman as he is hooked up to tubes.
