Sarah Silverman is going public for the first time with the shocking story her father told her about her only brother’s death.

Sarah Silverman is going public for the first time with the shocking story her father told her about her only brother’s death.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the comedian and actor, 54, said she and her siblings grew up believing Jeffrey died as an infant because of a crib accident.

All that changed when Silverman’s dad, Donald Silverman, told her in 2022 that he believed Jeffrey died after his paternal grandfather, Max, shook him in a violent rage.

“The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffrey’s little body slid and he got suffocated. But if you look back, there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything,” Sarah Silverman told the publication.

The former “Sarah Silverman Program” star said her father told her the truth three years ago after he heard her recount Jeffrey’s death in her autobiographical off-Broadway musical “The Bedwetter,” which was based on her bestselling 2010 memoir of the same name.
