Johnny Wactor’s Family Doesn’t Want Ex-Fiancée Speaking on Murder

Johnny Victor‘s ex-fiancée spoke emotionally against his murder – And while his heart is in the right place, the actor’s family thinks his mouth is elsewhere… and he’s not needed.

We spoke to Johnny’s mom, Scarlettwho told TMZ that Johnny and Tessa Farrell Dated several years ago and now they are not in touch… haven’t spoken for at least 2-3 years. She said her family hasn’t kept in touch with him either which is why she is upset with his comments.

Tessa’s emotional appeal for stricter laws in Los Angeles rings hollow to Scarlett, who tells us she believes Tessa is just chasing influence — even though Tessa’s tearful video It certainly seemed surreal. In fact, we spoke to her to find out more about what she would like to see change in LA’s criminal justice system.

Check this out… Tessa says that letting low-level crooks back on the street under L.A.’s zero-bail policy is a recipe for disaster, and in this case, tragedy.

She reiterates her demand for the swift capture of the suspects responsible for Johnny’s murder – and also clarifies that she wasn’t sympathizing with them in her OG video.

You’ll remember, in Tessa’s viral clip, she tearfully spoke directly to the man who shot Johnny, saying that she’s having a hard time – but she did say that they could have just gotten a job instead of robbing catalytic converters and murdering people … a statement that some people took offense to.

In our follow-up interview, Tessa made it clear that committing a crime, no matter someone’s circumstances, is never okay – she didn’t doubt it at all.

Still, it seems that Vactor’s family has grown angry with her, nevertheless. His mother says she wants Tessa to stop using her son’s name to the press, while she points out that some of the things Tessa has revealed — like the existence of surveillance video of the crime — are news to them.

As for what will happen next, Scarlett said Johnny’s body will be taken to South Carolina – where his family lives – and a memorial will be held for him in L.A. sometime soon.

Police have yet to make any arrests, and we’re hearing the killing has many in law enforcement worried – sources tell us it’s become common among criminals lately … namely, becoming more brazen and violent without provocation.

When it comes to catalytic converter thefts specifically … our law enforcement sources say they’ve gotten more violent lately, and we’re told out-of-towners even travel to Los Angeles to commit this particular crime – knowing that if they get caught, they’ll receive a lighter sentence.
