Parents Of Walking Dead's Chandler Riggs, Like, So Embarrassing

Chandler Riggs, who plays Coral on AMC's The Walking Dead, has become the subject of rumors he will leave The Walking Dead after this season, thanks to the humiliating actions of his mom and dad, according to a report from Business Insider. It all started when Riggs was accepted to Auburn University, two hours away from Atlanta where the show is filmed. Riggs' dad took to Facebook to make a totally embarrassing post about it:

7 year contract completed! Grateful to AMC, Cast & Crew, TWD fan base and especially Chandler for always being 100% dedicated. Whether it was getting up at 4AM, working in the freezing cold past 2AM, leaving his friends and carefree kiddom behind, scrambling to make up missed schoolwork, he has done it without complaint and always made me proud & amazed to be his dad!

Awkward!

Riggs fans were freaked out, tweeting at the young actor, "ur dad jst shared on fb that ur 7 year contact on the show is up does that mean u are leaving the show???" Riggs probably wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

At least old man Riggs had the decency to delete the post, however. Not so for Riggs' mom, who made things even worse by trying to quell the rumors with a post on Instagram:

Don't over analyze. His seven year contract is up. That's all he was saying, nothing else. Pretty big accomplishment for a child actor (and for the parent who had to quit his job for this child to be able to follow his dream).

OMG.

On the bright side, hopefully this puts rumors Coral will be killed off to bed once and for all. We'll keep you updated on the uncomfortable social media activity of Chandler Riggs' parents, so bookmark this site for more first class journalism like this in the future.
