Having watched the show tonight and seeing everyone say she was ALWAYS happy makes me think that was the sign. There's no way to be happy all the time. And hearing that she was always there for everyone makes me think maybe she gave it all away and then had nothing left for herself. Overachievers put so much pressure on themselves too. There was a boy in my homeroom class senior year. He smiled all the time. You'd think his face was stuck that way. Between graduation and college he killed himself because his girlfriend broke up with him. He didn't have mental health problems. Something suddenly happened that was too much to take. The Osmonds who always put on those super happy faces had issues. So much so that Marie went on stage right after her son took his own life. Because that's what they're "supposed" to do. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to go through it. Trying to always be that sunshine for everyone else isn't anyone's job.
Yep, you're describing my 32 yr old youngest daughter who ended her life March 25th 2020. Prayers to the mom and her family. No one will ever be who they were. I'm still in zombie mode alot of days
That’s why I hate that expression “fake it to you make it”. I think we need to let ppl have their bad days, and not take it so personally. I think ppl feel the pressure of hiding their true feelings because then ppl judge them or label them as rude or difficult or weak. We’re human, we’re not on, happy, and bubbly all the time. We have our moments, we go through things. A lot of times, you spend time with your co-workers more than your spouse or family. We should have a comfortable welcoming environment, where we can all vent and be heard. Too many suicides happening lately. May her beautiful soul Rest In Peace.
The only thing that keeps running thru my mind is ....the pain and depression she must have been going thru that jumping off a building was the only way she believed she would find some peace. It’s just so unbelievably devastating. How bad it had to have been for that beautiful woman. If only she could have waited one more day ....she was a light in this world and the world got so much darker after she left. I pray Cheslie is at peace and surrounded my love 💙
I keep crying, I can’t stop thinking about Cheslie 💔 What they all say it’s so true, she was not a quiet one, she was always laughing and smiling and shinning so bright! The world can be a really cruel place even to the most special ones.
I’m really worried about her dating life. Does anyone know if she dated a man or …. and or hiding something about her preference and rather take to her grave? This is really sad. Some of us need closure; we’ve different speculations. Please help.
@@maninscrubdallas8694 l was wondering too. In an interview with Taylor Swift she said she wanted a cat.I was thinking too maybe if she wasn't single her boyfriend could of stopped her 😥 She was lonely.... l know how that can be but hers could of been on another level....
You never truly know someone. You don't know what is going on in their mind when they are alone. She obviously struggled with severe depression and didn't share it with those that are close. I hope Cheslie is at peace now. So sad.
My heart is with the family. I know exactly the pain they will experience from this moment on. Life changes on a dime, and it's so true, even people who live with the person, misses signs too. Bpd sufferers put on such a brave smile, they already feel they are a failure so they are not going to tell people. #MentalHealthMatters #suicidesurvivor
As people we care and our hearts ache. Some of us know family and friends this happened to and relate. Her death was so tragic and we connected with her by watching her do what she does on E ...great personality and awesome smile
Did anyone hear her say she felt like she was getting old and she had a short window left to stay relevant? Just like Regina Kings son We live in an age where people always have to smile for the camera. The era of selfies....its all vanity. She probably wished she could go outside without makeup, just be carefree, worry free. Sometimes you want to go where no body knows your name. She was tired. She was doing crunches with the phone in her hand. Rest my sister. The beauty inside your soul was good enough. You're free. Tears from a stranger.
I was blown away. She's not only beautiful but very intelligent. She work so hard to be miss USA and those college diplomas are insane ,so many college degrees. So I think the piece that was missing in life was getting married ,she even said in earlier interviews that a man in life would be grateful. She's not getting any younger specially at 30 years old. Rest in peace Cheslie 🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐
I have watched many videos and read about Cheslie since her death, and she was an OVERACHIEVER. Suicide is common among overachievers. She had FOUR college degrees, and most people do not have one college degree. Overachievers often set unrealistic goals that can lead to suicide, if the goals are not met. Cheslie had a problem with being 30 and not having a certain amount of recognition. She also spoke about the emptiness of a competitive lifestyle. Her unrealistic goal for 30 and not liking her lifestyle may have pushed her over the edge. 🇺🇸
Being an overachiever Is one thing,…….& that’s ok., the problem is putting expectations, & timelines on things……..I would hear folks say they have to achieve certain goals by this, or by that age,……..& families oftentimes tends to, unintentionally do the EXACT same thing……..(well meaningly,) to their kids, etc., NOT realizing there’s an aweful lot of pressure that’s being heaping on children, relatives, etc., & oftentimes, it’s NOT being done for their individual selves,………it’s being done to please parents,……family members, friends, etc., then before one knows it, it gets to BOILING POINT, then @ times ends up Leading to EXPLOSION. Children need to be taught @ an early age that as much as it is your desire to see them achieve their goals etc., that even if…….(God Forbid) whatever that goal is doesn’t pans out, that it is still ok., that it is STILL NOT the end of the world. Oftentimes children do things to please the world, & leave themselves out, @ times feeling so lost, so out of sorts……. Totally loosing themselves. May as parents, guardians, etc., take the time to listen more to your children, respect their thoughts, their concerns, their choices. I am NOT saying this was the case of Cheslie’s home circle, But I am saying from a general standpoint, there are things that can be changed Can it be done?……..Yes it can. Let’s help save our children. Cheslie was still a baby,……..only thirty yrs.,…….. Barely out of her twenties., she would’ve been young for a very long time, given the chance. I am soooooooooooo sorry about the outcome. This precious princess had EVERYTHING,…….. But length of yrs., Again, my continued condolences to all her family, friends, & colleagues. Rest easy precious one.🥺😢🥺
This is beyond devastating. Someone who had accomplished so much in life at the young age of 30. And very beautiful and seemed very happy. You never know what Someone is personally going through. RIP Cheslie 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
Reaction Formation is a defense mechanism where a person projects the opposite of what they really feel. Cheslie was an incredibly accomplished woman, probably pushing herself all of the time to be that person she aspired to be. May her crown sparkle in Heaven forever.
Fools say its no God ! Yes the Lord give them over to the Devil, what if you gain the whole world and lose your soul ? For a piece of the devil pie ! Died and woke up in "Hell" after her 2nd death when raise from the dead and them books was open " white throne judgement seat of God , before she was cast alive in the lake of fire burning with brimstone , along with all unsaved , demonic sinners For the warth of God is coming soon.
People need to start by not calling it a mental illness, suicide comes in many forms- it's isolation, loneliness, and expectations that get piled up in someone- nobody is above it. Calling it mental illness or mental awareness is putting it into a nice neat box and then pushing it away. It's far more complicated than that, that is how we start changing society so people are more authentic, more accepted and loved for who they are, not what they are. I am incredibly saddened by Cheslie's passing.
It's not a mental health, it's an existential crisis that's happening. If we start addressing it correctly, we can start to change and truly help those in need. I have had two friends attempt suicide, both were going through things that society couldn't help them with at the moment, they didn't turn to ask for help because they felt that the current mode is not worth even going down. We are too individuallist and not empathetic enough
@@elisabethcrawford5903 one thing I've found out about women, in particular, is that their mental health is greatly determined by their openness to be loved by another, in particular - a trusted man. The gift is called submissiveness- it simply means "I'm open to being loved by you and to love you in return." Mary R Joyce, a philosopher, recognized this as "receptivity". I mention this because I cannot imagine a woman with a full measure of receptivity ever hurting herself or others.
Living alone in NYC during winter, & during a Pandemic is very lonely & draining. On top of that she constantly faced anti-blackness in the Modeling & Legal Industries. She seemed to have been living her life to make everyone else happy, & constantly lived under the pressure to be perfect because everyone loved her perfection, & everyone always expected her to keep doing more & more. She seemed to pursue Law to please her Dad, & Modeling to please her Mom. However internet bullies, & racists shamed her for being “short”, “old”, “too muscular”, “too black” & “benefiting from affirmative action”. She never got to live her life for herself. As a child she started living her life for her parents, she had to live up to the White Beauty standard, she had to be a Champion for Black People, she had to be a lawyer/mba, then she had to be society’s “Hollywood feel good influencer”, & criminal justice hero. In one Ear she had her “supporters” setting their expectations of her to always be a perfect, perky, superwoman. In the other Ear her critics made her feel inadequate & unqualified in all of her achievements. She was trapped between 30 years of Expectations to be Perfect & 30 years of Cruel Criticism. She lived under a microscope for 30 years, being judged & pressured in every aspect of her existence by a selfish society driven by vanity. Parents & society need to stop living vicariously through children & celebrities. No one owes their life to anyone else. I’m sorry she suffered, I’m sorry she didn’t have mental freedom, I’m sorry this world drained her amazing light. REST IN PEACE CHESLIE KRYST!

Im from Philippines and pageant fan.. when she won miss usa 2019 i fell in love with her beauty and personality... Such a ray of sunshine... You will be missed my love.. may your soul rest in piece.. 💔💔😭😭
She was too happy u can tell she didn’t have that inner hapiness .Being happy all the time is a sign .It’s okay to cry ,feel sad instead of just pretending to be happy ,l didn’t know her but looking at her videos ,She was always smiling and happy but she had sad eyes .
I didn't know this young lady but I always felt a sense of pride watching her daily on Extra. She was so beautiful and seemed to have a wonderful personality. This is so incredibly sad. I'm crying because I can't imagine how devastating this must be for her family to think of her being in pain. I pray the Lord comforts her parents, family and friends. Her beautiful spirit will definitely be missed. Rest in peace Cheslie!
@@ZOEYANDFRIENDS673 SHE WAS HEADSTRONG NOT SUICIDAL OR DEPRESSED AT ALL. THOSE ARE ALL LIES. THIS WOMAN WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO WAKEUP
I use to work for Goodwill. I live in Md. i think it’s awesome that she designed a clothing line for working women from goodwill clothes. RIP queen! YOU WERE AN AWESOME LIGHT & you touched & inspired ppl LIKE MYSELF that you never even knew🌹😔🖤
Thank you for this extratv. 😭 It’s special to hear how the people she worked with describe and remember her so fondly. You can tell Cheslie was close to all her co-workers 💖 I’ve never met Cheslie but I watched her journey, all her stories and was so inspired by it 😭 this is just devastating to say the least 💔
I didn't know her and honestly didn't know much about her until today, but for some reason I keep crying when I hear about her. This just shows anyone can battle with things internally, no matter how well put together you think they might be. It's so many ppl battling internally, including myself. I stop going to therapy mid to late last year. This has triggered me to maybe start going again. May she rest in peace as well as others who have committed the S - word recently. But I will also say the police dept still need to do a complete investigation to make sure that indeed is what happen to her.
Same here. It's crazy how she went to the same university as me. With all the success she still wasn't happy enough with herself. Mental health really is smth else 😔😭
@@kevinwang6119 Just a footnote, Doyou remember when Naomi Osaka made it known that she had mental health issues, the backlash was unbelievable, although there were many that supported, ( he who feels it knows it) I guess
@@barringtonsmith9147 I am a fan of Naomi. I mean same with Simone Biles. But they didn't suicide though. I'm not saying mental health is not tough. I'm just curious how they feel so affected
This is an eye opener for me. I'm the strong friend about to fall apart. May you finally be at peace beautiful soul 💔 because of you, I've reached out. You may have saved my life
That's good, you reached out!!!...it's ok to fall apart, just know you don't have to be alone when it happens...don't be scared to be vulnerable with others who truly love you!!!
@@elviraf4629 ..it's very hard to admit at times...I know from experience, especially when people really think you're a strong person and that you always look happy, so no one asks ever, cause they just don't know...for me, it's even hard to cry in front of people...hated people seeing me vulnerable, but now I know it's good for them to see that the smile sometimes fade and I too sometimes need a shoulder...even though I don't know you, I am proud of you and keep pushing❤️
@@rickihosein Thank you 🙏 And I'm proud of you too. It's not easy to admit we're not ok. And when it comes to famous people, everyone wants it to be murder... That's so insulting, not to mention idiotic
@@elviraf4629 ...yes, it's sad that people are saying it's murder...I think it might be out of shock and they want to explain it away, cause it would feel better to know that someone else ended her, instead of her doing it...they're in denial!!!...Thank you for your kind words also🥰
She lived a very exciting and eventful life! She hid everything better than I could ever dream of doing, if I had been dealing with emotions as heavy as she. Cheslie was a very strong woman. Very determined and sure of her intentions. She was very focused and walked in the power of self determination. That Cheslie Kryst. Wow. I still respect her. I refuse to look or “feel some kind of way” towards her because of her decision to exit the planet like she did. I celebrate her life and the fact that she is now at peace. She accomplished so much in this lifetime! Rest In Peace, the great Cheslie Kryst! ❤️✨
Just like the quote I've heard, about how the happiest people knows the most pain. I think that the reason why is because they don't want people to see that they were struggling so they come off very happy and bright because they don't want their sadness to affect others.
Such a tragedy, so sad. She seemed to have everything going for her, beauty, brains, charisma. A lawyer, and degree in business. Miss USA 🇺🇸, TV personality, all before the age of 30. Just devastating, to lose someone with such a bright future. R. I. P .
I was thinking about Rachael Lindsey and even though her struggles are different than whatever cheslie's were, Rachel had a lot of hateful/and awful followers, I often wonder how she is really doing also.....just wish cheslie has some kind of help that could of helped prevent this....Lord help.....
Yeah she definitely was putting on a really good act. Like Gayle King said that herself and others couldn't pick up on the signs because there were no signs. Nate said looking back on the time they spent together, he tried to look for a clue or hint but couldn't find any. Sometimes what could be shown on the outside, doesn't match what's hidden on the inside.. You're right, nobody is happy and bubbly all the time. Everyone goes through something. They're just really good at hiding it from others. Sad that she didn't reach out for help when she should. Her all the time happy and bubbly personality should have been a sign right there.
The smiles and laughter can be seen on the outside, but deep sadness lurks within. A lady at work was always bubbly. She walks in and you just know that she's here. One morning, I met her and asked her how she's doing, "I'm fine", she responded excitedly in her usual way. Then I said again, How are you really feeling. Suddenly, tears started streaming down her face, and she said to me, "everyone sees me smiling and happy, but deep down inside, I'm hurting, and nobody knows what I'm going through." I gave her a hug, and a prayer, and some words of encouragement.
This is ….beyond tragic for so many reasons. I can’t say I was familiar with her prior to her death although I feel I’ve definitely seen her face. There are far too many young people doing this nowadays. And she was young young. To think that she would’ve believed anyone online (or elsewhere) telling her otherwise boggles my mind. RIP Miss USA 🇺🇸.
I'm so very sorry to the news crews that lost a dear friend today. She was indeed a sunshiny, lovely lady & she will be missed by dear friends & family. 💔❤💔
3:06 "I feel very UNSETTLED." Thats exactly how Ms Kryst's death has made me feel. Having young adult grandchildren...seeing this young woman who seemingly had EVERYTHING FROM ALL OUTWARD APPEARANCES.....take her own life...how do I help my grands who have real life issues??? This is so ...SO UNSETTLING....downright scary❤️💔❤️
I am having a really hard time believing a southern chick would go out on a balcony (20 floors up from her own apartment) at 7am in freezing cold Manhattan weather. I am also having a difficult time believing a woman, who loved her mom so much, would write a last letter without at least saying "I love you." It could be suicide, but my gut saying something is wrong. RIP Cheslie.
Plus women and especially women like her normally never choose jumping as suicide ita a very rare for women as they want to look perfect even after death
I feel the same way. Not buying it completely. Why not just jump from the 9th floor...And even if she had relationship difficulties with her parents...she was close to her mom and my gut says the letter was forced. There are other ways to commit suicide...I don't know but not buying the suicide story. She was a triple threat (stunning, intelligent, lawyer/MBA, Miss USA). A horrific tragedy. RIP.
imagine that moment, figure out that exact moment and feel that moment when she was ready to jump next second, did she closed her eyes and opened her arms like she going to fly in heaven, what was coming into her mind, whats images she visualizing knowing she going to leave this world forever and never going to see sunrise anymore, its all so painful to imagine 💔
That’s all that’s been running In my head the past few days. To think how bad she might have been feeling on a day to day basis that the only way she saw a way out was to go and jump off that building. To think that was the only way she believed she would have some peace. So heartbreaking and tragic. Rest in paradise Cheslie 💙
I’m depressed, and mental illness runs in my family. I know my triggers and avoid them. She must’ve been damn good at hiding her demons. Something I could never do. You can see the depression on my face. Maybe being in the public eye just wasn’t healthy for her. Very sad that she would do this to herself. Why?
For those who think she "had it all" . . . all of what???? She had what you don't have??? That's not having it all. If you want something, go get it like Cheslie did and you'll soon find out that labels, titles, looks, a great personality and unwaivering affinity mean absolutely nothing. There's no such thing as having it all. Acquire what makes a difference for your soul.
@Sara Mill mothers can be depressed too. There are tons of stories of mothers being depressed especially after giving up careers to raise a family. There’s no answer to this. I think the op is saying, don’t compare your life, don’t assume having accomplishments can take away any pain you feel. If you’re in pain, you have to address the pain. Many women who accomplish things can be and are happy. “Acquire what makes a difference for your soul.” Don’t make your accomplishments something that defines you. This could be said for being a mother too. Kids grow up and become independent.
Even if there are signs, no one really knows how to help. By saying, "are you thinking about committing suicide" irritates those who think about it daily but just can't do it and walk around daily in pain and it's obvious. For people like this woman, I think she was happy and didn't really know depression so when she felt down, she didn't know how to deal with it because she never felt that sort of pain that many people live daily with and don't know how to get help or can't afford it. Getting a qualified / experienced therapist for people with serious mental illness is not obtainable. Just finding a therapist who is willing to take anyone may not help people with issues they have dealt with their whole life or personality issues on top of depression. Drugs aren't always the answer or just any random therapist who is just trying to get hours for their career. Finding mental health help is not easy and people who don't struggle with it daily have nothing to help other than to say, "Have you tried therapy, taking drugs, etc." Then when you go see someone, you get dumb questions like, "Have you thought about taking your life, have you felt depressed over the last few days, have you noticed not feeling as excited about things in life..." Ugh. For many, they struggle to just have a moment when they aren't feeling the sickness inside and finding some joy like others feel.
I dont this beautiful young lady but i keep thinking about her obviously she was going through something which she dont want to share my son attempt it too but by the grace of God he is still here may her family find peace in the prince of ipeace Jesus Christ
Beautiful, smart and successful. Too sad that she did not know how blessed she was. I feel for her parents. I guess sometimes someone up there gets jealous.
I'm so hurt inside that a person with all these good things going in her life that she died with having Everything other people who only dream of. A good education, career,good parents, lovely body, accomplished , beautiful smile. Unbelievable 🤔
Her soul is at peace.....as a person that have had more than one attempt i could say we cant just tell people how we really feel inside....its truelly about the keep that smile, look good, hair, makeup, etc....its all about keeping the outside view right on point....while inside our minds our heart its all fckedup. She is resting and taking care of her mom in spirit. 😌
Smh my mom was sharing this with me this morning and I said omg we're both the same age she looks so peaceful bright and happy you'll never know what's going on in the background she's so young I wish she had more time to get help fr fr
I’m also around this age and Sometimes the happier you try to appear the most unhappiest u are. I know because I was there. I dunno if it’s the case for her
@@mayy9685 wow me too 😔😔😔 in 2020 it's like everything I was heading towards I felt like a huge failure and actually wanted die immediately but help came in many different forms we'll never know what happened because she was living her dreams it's just horrible us millennials are going just a little too early and this year is just starting my God it's so scary 😰😰😰😰
@@marquishalsell it’s so sad frfr😭 I also wish she would have gave herself more time. Mental illness is no joke. We got to be strong 💪. In some ways I wish there was a group irl we all could go to, to discuss this and be supportive of each other. Im happy you didn’t do anything, I know xactly how you feel it’s terrifying because I was close to doing what this girl did
@@mayy9685 that's why this year we gotta do our best and whenever we're having or going through these wicked problems we must go to those who are willing to help us because the devil and his demons are in huge attack mode
Her essay said it all. Chasing empty dreams or someone’s dreams only bring emptiness (she became Ms. N. Carolina for her mom and a lawyer for her dad). She didn’t do anything for herself. Parents need to stop living off their kids and get a life.
i did not even knew her but i cry with the news of her death ! what she wrote totally describes me. My mother was jealous of me and her message was not direct but indirect and it was saying "don't find a bf, don't dress up, don't go out, don't spend money, just stay into the house forever" its like she told me "die don't live don't be happy". And i have totally followed her advices not that i wanted its just they the bond we have with our mothers especially is so strong its like they create your future. I am almost 30 and lately i fully realised how much my mother harmed my life, she made me have low self esteem my whole life. No matter if i told her that she destroyed my life she doesn't even care. Life is hard. Noone can be so smart and perfect from his 18 and understand the mind games that our parents play with us. I guess Cheslie realised that she spend her life not following what she truly wanted. I am so sorry and i am in the same boat with her.
People need to stop repeating things they have no first hand knowledge of, they probably never had a conversation with her or her family, let's not make things worse than they are by playing detective, if ur compassion and want to help just pray for them if u believe in that, it's not the time for assumptions and gossips
@@skasmow Sorry to hear this about your own life experiences. I urge you to seek help if you need it. Just don't go doing the same as what Cheslie did. Even the strongest person are good at hiding it.
Mental Health is complicated, private and Very Personal. I feel everyone has some form of Personality Disorder, which is not as insulting as using Mental Health Disorder Labels that cause people to be secretive and defensive when dealing with their disorder. Some disorders are more severe than others, however as long as a person is responsible and independent there is no need to worry about the type of shortcomings he or she has.
We can never truly understand why someone may decide to take their own life because there are a multitudes of factors to consider. However, we know people who give up life are often in deep turmoil and suffering. The wounds people often carry are not always visible for everyone to see. So many people carry trauma and pain and still go on in life they best they can. That's what is resiliency and strength. Although at times that pain becomes too much of a burden to carry alone. It's why we need each other and our understanding, compassion, and love. Everyone is carrying something and we never know what that might be. Compassionate inquiry is important and so is letting go of judgement.❤
According to insider, Cheslie was intensely & constantly fighting with her parents, because they wanted her to practice her Lawyer MBA profession rather than being a entertainment correspondent in EXTRA. There were hurtful words given. She was also closeted LGBTQ+. New York Worsening Winter & Gloomy Weather, Lack of Sunlight, Depression sank in! She left her properties (with a note, not a will) to her mother- allegedly to hurt her mother & to make her feel guilty. In her essay in Allure Magazine May 2021 Kryst’s said “A grinning, crinkly-eyed glance at my achievements thus far makes me giddy about laying the groundwork for more, but turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes - and it’s infuriating. --Why earn more achievements just to collect another win? Why pursue another plaque or medal or line item on my resume if it’s for vanity’s sake, rather than out of passion? Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to only find emptiness?” Rest in Peace Cheslie 💔💔💔
Why saying this? I don't see the point. Please respect the privacy of her family and the pain they must be in. If you really appreciate her, then don't say those things. If she was in problems with her family. That is a PRIVATE Matter and should not be your problem. More empathy Please. Or you still don't get it? You are hurting people with your cheap gossip
If you don't have nothing good to say, don't say a word. Her private or family life are private. Not for anyone without base or foundation to make a statement base on assumptions or speculation. That is a cheap shot ! Respect other people's lifes if you want yours to be respected. You are talking based on nothing. None of you even met the woman. But of course is easy to speculate and assume. People who assume tend to make an Ass of themselves. My most sincere condolences to the family and friends 🙏 RIP beautiful Queen 👸
@Millicient Aspinet I don't agree. She was a public person yes, that is true. However her family life was always private. So I don't see the point in ventilating that. At this point if she was living was a mirage is not even for you or me to discuss it. God is the ultimate judge. I just hope she is at peace. This is such a terrible loss and tragedy for all her friends and family, and the people that she impacted positively of course.
I read a lot comments and many opinions anyways I stucked why and what reasons haf brought her to this point but if your comment is true about Cheslis 'Parents it made me a little clear in my mind,Thanks for share
I can't believe she's gone, I was shock when I heard the news! God what at all is wrong with this world? My deepest sympathy to her family and love ones! RIP😭😭😭😭
if you read her recent essay, it tells you her outlook on life and her age, beauty. it was pretty gloomy one. she 'acted' in this way, but deep down she was struggling. she was a fighter but deep down she never felt good enough.
Has a person who had experience suicide by two of my family members. I'm once again speechless, over this young beautiful talented, Amazing woman death. Never knew her but we can tell that she was full of life and energy. What happen? We will never know All we got left is to remember her for the great person she was. Her family must be devastated! Has her coworkers and everyone who knew her. It just doesn't make sense !!!!! Look like I underestimated depression 😔.
Has anyone thought about foul play? Her mom would have felt something. You can’t be someone’s best friend or mother daughter relationship and not suspect or feel anything. People have been educated to believe lies!!
I loved her I found out that she died this morning I know she died yesterday but it appeared on my phone today when I found out I was really shocked I watched her and she was miss USA in 2019 mother mother doesn’t have her daughter anymore I feel bad for her mother I know what it’s like to lose somebody that you’re very close to it never gonna be the same without Cheslie I loved her I never met her but she was a huge impact in my life rest in peace Cheslie
from 2019 to 2020 she shared an apartment with our own Miss Universe Zozibin Tunzi of South Africa 🇿🇦 so we are also deeply hurt by this tragic death of former Miss USA .
Praising and worshiping God (Jesus) ..... Is the only medicine to depression.... 1. Accepting Jesus as your personal. 2. Spending time with God (reading Bible + praying) 3. Worshipping God ... 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 Believe me this is the only way to escape from ANY PROBLEM (INCLUDING DEPRESSION)
Sometimes, a person has a tendency to hide what he or she truly feels inside while showing the entire world the other side and make them think that you're truly strong but the truth is, your tearing apart and breaking down until the truth will push you to the limit and even take your own life. Sad.😩
Do what makes YOU happy! These pageants have become unachievable in goals that’s it’s rediculous. Dresses costs in the thousands, etc. Bring reality back and save more people from the brink.
Sad how when ppl ask "How are you" the response is always good because if you're not doing good and you say that ppl avoid you and look at you like you're weird
I think Cheslie Kryst’s death caused Extra to lose its bid for a Daytime Emmy. Billy Bush still hasn’t gotten over this loss. So sudden. Kenneth A Huang 7/17/2022
If Being BEAUTIFUL, RICH, SUCCESSFUL & EDUCATED cause DEPRESSION , then i can imagine what all the UGLY, FAT, POOR, UNSUCCESSFUL HIGHSCHOOL DROP OUTS are going through .
Having watched the show tonight and seeing everyone say she was ALWAYS happy makes me think that was the sign. There's no way to be happy all the time. And hearing that she was always there for everyone makes me think maybe she gave it all away and then had nothing left for herself. Overachievers put so much pressure on themselves too.
There was a boy in my homeroom class senior year. He smiled all the time. You'd think his face was stuck that way. Between graduation and college he killed himself because his girlfriend broke up with him. He didn't have mental health problems. Something suddenly happened that was too much to take.
The Osmonds who always put on those super happy faces had issues. So much so that Marie went on stage right after her son took his own life. Because that's what they're "supposed" to do.
It's okay to be sad. It's okay to go through it. Trying to always be that sunshine for everyone else isn't anyone's job.
Exactly nobody's happy all the time!!!! That was the sign that I was paying attention too. I'm glad you said that.
@Antoinette Lopes,
beautiful, thoughtful post...
Yep, you're describing my 32 yr old youngest daughter who ended her life March 25th 2020. Prayers to the mom and her family. No one will ever be who they were. I'm still in zombie mode alot of days

That’s why I hate that expression “fake it to you make it”. I think we need to let ppl have their bad days, and not take it so personally. I think ppl feel the pressure of hiding their true feelings because then ppl judge them or label them as rude or difficult or weak. We’re human, we’re not on, happy, and bubbly all the time. We have our moments, we go through things. A lot of times, you spend time with your co-workers more than your spouse or family. We should have a comfortable welcoming environment, where we can all vent and be heard. Too many suicides happening lately. May her beautiful soul Rest In Peace.
That's the thing though this society is too pressured into being perfect!!!! NO one wants to talk to someone about struggles is all selfie no talk!!!!
So true!!
What other suicides happened??

The only thing that keeps running thru my mind is ....the pain and depression she must have been going thru that jumping off a building was the only way she believed she would find some peace. It’s just so unbelievably devastating. How bad it had to have been for that beautiful woman. If only she could have waited one more day ....she was a light in this world and the world got so much darker after she left. I pray Cheslie is at peace and surrounded my love 💙
Well stated. Wish mom said why don't you fly home....?
I was wondering how she ended her life. So very sad. She was an intelligent & beautiful woman. She was suffering in silence. May she R.i.p 👏🏿
Asking his coworker “how are you?” Brought tears to my eyes, it was almost like she needed to be asked that question.
No. One. Is. Strong. With. Out. Jesus. Christ
I keep crying, I can’t stop thinking about Cheslie 💔 What they all say it’s so true, she was not a quiet one, she was always laughing and smiling and shinning so bright! The world can be a really cruel place even to the most special ones.
Me too
I have been crying all day watching the news 😭
You got that right the world is cruel.
I’m really worried about her dating life. Does anyone know if she dated a man or …. and or hiding something about her preference and rather take to her grave? This is really sad. Some of us need closure; we’ve different speculations. Please help.
@@maninscrubdallas8694 l was wondering too. In an interview with Taylor Swift she said she wanted a cat.I was thinking too maybe if she wasn't single her boyfriend could of stopped her 😥 She was lonely.... l know how that can be but hers could of been on another level....
Crying? Why? Did you know her? Why do people"Cry" with strangers they never met. Strange to me.
You never truly know someone. You don't know what is going on in their mind when they are alone. She obviously struggled with severe depression and didn't share it with those that are close. I hope Cheslie is at peace now. So sad.
My heart is with the family. I know exactly the pain they will experience from this moment on. Life changes on a dime, and it's so true, even people who live with the person, misses signs too. Bpd sufferers put on such a brave smile, they already feel they are a failure so they are not going to tell people. #MentalHealthMatters #suicidesurvivor

How can one cry so much for someone they never met- that's me right now.
As people we care and our hearts ache. Some of us know family and friends this happened to and relate.
Her death was so tragic and we connected with her by watching her do what she does on E ...great personality and awesome smile
Did anyone hear her say she felt like she was getting old and she had a short window left to stay relevant? Just like Regina Kings son We live in an age where people always have to smile for the camera. The era of selfies....its all vanity. She probably wished she could go outside without makeup, just be carefree, worry free. Sometimes you want to go where no body knows your name. She was tired. She was doing crunches with the phone in her hand. Rest my sister. The beauty inside your soul was good enough. You're free. Tears from a stranger.
Pretty much sums it up
Well stated💕
Well said!!!!
This hurts because she was so beautiful and had it ALL wow!! The internal struggles she must have gone through. God rest her soul. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She did NOT have it all. She was missing happiness.
I was blown away. She's not only beautiful but very intelligent. She work so hard to be miss USA and those college diplomas are insane ,so many college degrees. So I think the piece that was missing in life was getting married ,she even said in earlier interviews that a man in life would be grateful. She's not getting any younger specially at 30 years old.
Rest in peace Cheslie 🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐🌺💐
@@lesant7659 I would hate to think being single was the reason. I doubt it... It's deeper than that.
I have watched many videos and read about Cheslie since her death, and she was an OVERACHIEVER. Suicide is common among overachievers. She had FOUR college degrees, and most people do not have one college degree. Overachievers often set unrealistic goals that can lead to suicide, if the goals are not met. Cheslie had a problem with being 30 and not having a certain amount of recognition. She also spoke about the emptiness of a competitive lifestyle. Her unrealistic goal for 30 and not liking her lifestyle may have pushed her over the edge.
🇺🇸
Why would someone dread 30 she had achieved so much more than most people
She needed God😔😔😔
Being an overachiever Is one thing,…….& that’s ok., the problem is putting expectations, & timelines on things……..I would hear folks say they have to achieve certain goals by this, or by that age,……..& families oftentimes tends to, unintentionally do the EXACT same thing……..(well meaningly,) to their kids, etc., NOT realizing there’s an aweful lot of pressure that’s being heaping on children, relatives, etc., & oftentimes, it’s NOT being done for their individual selves,………it’s being done to please parents,……family members, friends, etc., then before one knows it, it gets to BOILING POINT, then @ times ends up Leading to EXPLOSION. Children need to be taught @ an early age that as much as it is your desire to see them achieve their goals etc., that even if…….(God Forbid) whatever that goal is doesn’t pans out, that it is still ok., that it is STILL NOT the end of the world. Oftentimes children do things to please the world, & leave themselves out, @ times feeling so lost, so out of sorts……. Totally loosing themselves. May as parents, guardians, etc., take the time to listen more to your children, respect their thoughts, their concerns, their choices. I am NOT saying this was the case of Cheslie’s home circle, But I am saying from a general standpoint, there are things that can be changed Can it be done?……..Yes it can. Let’s help save our children. Cheslie was still a baby,……..only thirty yrs.,…….. Barely out of her twenties., she would’ve been young for a very long time, given the chance. I am soooooooooooo sorry about the outcome. This precious princess had EVERYTHING,…….. But length of yrs., Again, my continued condolences to all her family, friends, & colleagues. Rest easy precious one.🥺😢🥺
@@soniachapman6359 one should trust God's timing.

This is beyond devastating. Someone who had accomplished so much in life at the young age of 30. And very beautiful and seemed very happy. You never know what Someone is personally going through. RIP Cheslie 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
Reaction Formation is a defense mechanism where a person projects the opposite of what they really feel. Cheslie was an incredibly accomplished woman, probably pushing herself all of the time to be that person she aspired to be. May her crown sparkle in Heaven forever.
Thank you for sharing this terminology. Very helpful 💓

For the warth of God is coming soon.
People need to start by not calling it a mental illness, suicide comes in many forms- it's isolation, loneliness, and expectations that get piled up in someone- nobody is above it. Calling it mental illness or mental awareness is putting it into a nice neat box and then pushing it away. It's far more complicated than that, that is how we start changing society so people are more authentic, more accepted and loved for who they are, not what they are. I am incredibly saddened by Cheslie's passing.
Yes, exactly
Well, all the things mentioned do take a toll on someone's mental health. 🤷♀️
It's not a mental health, it's an existential crisis that's happening. If we start addressing it correctly, we can start to change and truly help those in need. I have had two friends attempt suicide, both were going through things that society couldn't help them with at the moment, they didn't turn to ask for help because they felt that the current mode is not worth even going down. We are too individuallist and not empathetic enough
@@elisabethcrawford5903 one thing I've found out about women, in particular, is that their mental health is greatly determined by their openness to be loved by another, in particular - a trusted man. The gift is called submissiveness- it simply means "I'm open to being loved by you and to love you in return." Mary R Joyce, a philosopher, recognized this as "receptivity". I mention this because I cannot imagine a woman with a full measure of receptivity ever hurting herself or others.
Agree. Labeling it mental illness puts the onus on to the sufferer - yet they may well be suffering for reasons including those you note above. Bless
Living alone in NYC during winter, & during a Pandemic is very lonely & draining. On top of that she constantly faced anti-blackness in the Modeling & Legal Industries. She seemed to have been living her life to make everyone else happy, & constantly lived under the pressure to be perfect because everyone loved her perfection, & everyone always expected her to keep doing more & more. She seemed to pursue Law to please her Dad, & Modeling to please her Mom. However internet bullies, & racists shamed her for being “short”, “old”, “too muscular”, “too black” & “benefiting from affirmative action”.
She never got to live her life for herself. As a child she started living her life for her parents, she had to live up to the White Beauty standard, she had to be a Champion for Black People, she had to be a lawyer/mba, then she had to be society’s “Hollywood feel good influencer”, & criminal justice hero.
In one Ear she had her “supporters” setting their expectations of her to always be a perfect, perky, superwoman.
In the other Ear her critics made her feel inadequate & unqualified in all of her achievements.
She was trapped between 30 years of Expectations to be Perfect & 30 years of Cruel Criticism.
She lived under a microscope for 30 years, being judged & pressured in every aspect of her existence by a selfish society driven by vanity.
Parents & society need to stop living vicariously through children & celebrities. No one owes their life to anyone else.
I’m sorry she suffered, I’m sorry she didn’t have mental freedom, I’m sorry this world drained her amazing light.
REST IN PEACE CHESLIE KRYST!
She was a lovely By Racial girl who probably had a problem with blacks perfidious ones!!
Can be possible?!
That only my opinion.!
She was just like the Polish gene .!! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL .!! Not black.! By Racial .Black take Immediately the by racial belong to whole creed to stalking thugs!!

I you faced anti -blackness . ??!!
Do something about it!! Mother Nature made us different.! But people finding each other and married! Like the two of them and create family!!
Definitely not easy task!!
How good you can be ?? Never enough??!
Mature and educate yourself!!
Don’t think about Black color!
You are individually unique and that is everyone BEATY. .!
Withe go to the Beach 🏖 get some Tone !
Blacks been here in America for a long time! Should know better!! Shame on them!!
Western civilization can solve all problems blacks create??
Lets face it !!
Oprah Winfrey with her 2:5 billion USA 🇺🇸??? Cash ? Or assets !!
She do not got enough for the blacks?!
She got rich and greedy!
Because you want be rich don’t mean you have ability manage money or business!!
You need to have social skills about people.! Humble and honest.!
We all have a thought 💭?
Why things can’t be different?
Time !!
Blacks are not shay !!
They should love them self and remember their mother.! She is the Hero who gave them life!!
Don’t force you self to others and be kind!!
Be alone never Been the problem!

Lots of work to do!!! In the end of the day you was so tired 😴 they only think 🤔 you won’t to do go to bed 🛌 and sleep 😴 for tomorrow morning you have to be ready to continue working with parents.
I feel sorry for the young people whose parents couldn’t teach them about the basics of life they could be prepared for the resistance to say No to! Many children doesn’t feel loved by the parents and this is tragic!!

You NEVER know how depression hides in even the prettiest faces. Sending up prayers to all affected by this unfortunate tragedy.
She was too happy u can tell she didn’t have that inner hapiness .Being happy all the time is a sign .It’s okay to cry ,feel sad instead of just pretending to be happy ,l didn’t know her but looking at her videos ,She was always smiling and happy but she had sad eyes .
Needless to say, I never met her; but this pains me immensely.
I didn't know this young lady but I always felt a sense of pride watching her daily on Extra. She was so beautiful and seemed to have a wonderful personality. This is so incredibly sad. I'm crying because I can't imagine how devastating this must be for her family to think of her being in pain. I pray the Lord comforts her parents, family and friends. Her beautiful spirit will definitely be missed. Rest in peace Cheslie!
Btw, Cheslie wasn't fake . . .she did her JOB, just like the rest of us. She did her JOB and she did it well.

I didn't know her and honestly didn't know much about her until today, but for some reason I keep crying when I hear about her. This just shows anyone can battle with things internally, no matter how well put together you think they might be. It's so many ppl battling internally, including myself. I stop going to therapy mid to late last year. This has triggered me to maybe start going again. May she rest in peace as well as others who have committed the S - word recently. But I will also say the police dept still need to do a complete investigation to make sure that indeed is what happen to her.

She lived a very exciting and eventful life! She hid everything better than I could ever dream of doing, if I had been dealing with emotions as heavy as she. Cheslie was a very strong woman. Very determined and sure of her intentions. She was very focused and walked in the power of self determination.
That Cheslie Kryst. Wow. I still respect her. I refuse to look or “feel some kind of way” towards her because of her decision to exit the planet like she did. I celebrate her life and the fact that she is now at peace. She accomplished so much in this lifetime! Rest In Peace, the great Cheslie Kryst! ❤️✨
Just like the quote I've heard, about how the happiest people knows the most pain. I think that the reason why is because they don't want people to see that they were struggling so they come off very happy and bright because they don't want their sadness to affect others.
Such a tragedy, so sad. She seemed to have everything going for her, beauty, brains, charisma. A lawyer, and degree in business. Miss USA 🇺🇸, TV personality, all before the age of 30. Just devastating, to lose someone with such a bright future. R. I. P .

I was thinking about Rachael Lindsey and even though her struggles are different than whatever cheslie's were, Rachel had a lot of hateful/and awful followers, I often wonder how she is really doing also.....just wish cheslie has some kind of help that could of helped prevent this....Lord help.....
People are very unkind behind their keyboard forgetting that these “celebrities” are human beings
Omg same😥😥
The lack of compassion is real in some of these comments. Same for Regina King's son. SMH
I agree totally - Rachel has her husband to lean on thankfully- that’s so imperative to have someone you can totally trust to have & to hold.
Sounds like she couldn’t keep up with her image anymore. You can only fake it for so long. Nobody is happy and bubbly ALL THE TIME absolutely NO ONE.
So true.
can yoo please BRIEFLY EXPLAIN me what did yoo mean?
yes, she was good at acting/smiling. I find her method of how she chose to leave, telling.
Yeah she definitely was putting on a really good act. Like Gayle King said that herself and others couldn't pick up on the signs because there were no signs. Nate said looking back on the time they spent together, he tried to look for a clue or hint but couldn't find any. Sometimes what could be shown on the outside, doesn't match what's hidden on the inside.. You're right, nobody is happy and bubbly all the time. Everyone goes through something. They're just really good at hiding it from others. Sad that she didn't reach out for help when she should. Her all the time happy and bubbly personality should have been a sign right there.
I agree
The smiles and laughter can be seen on the outside, but deep sadness lurks within. A lady at work was always bubbly. She walks in and you just know that she's here. One morning, I met her and asked her how she's doing, "I'm fine", she responded excitedly in her usual way. Then I said again, How are you really feeling. Suddenly, tears started streaming down her face, and she said to me, "everyone sees me smiling and happy, but deep down inside, I'm hurting, and nobody knows what I'm going through." I gave her a hug, and a prayer, and some words of encouragement.
You are right !!
Such sad story !!
Wow 🙏🏾
My prayer goes to the parents especially to the mother may the lord heal your wound… big hug!!
This is ….beyond tragic for so many reasons. I can’t say I was familiar with her prior to her death although I feel I’ve definitely seen her face. There are far too many young people doing this nowadays. And she was young young. To think that she would’ve believed anyone online (or elsewhere) telling her otherwise boggles my mind. RIP Miss USA 🇺🇸.
My heart hurts 💔 RIP beautiful soul Cheslie 🙏
So sad , so beautiful , so talented , so sorry to her family and extra tv family , loved watching her on the show , always smiling and nice 😢😥

I am having a really hard time believing a southern chick would go out on a balcony (20 floors up from her own apartment) at 7am in freezing cold Manhattan weather. I am also having a difficult time believing a woman, who loved her mom so much, would write a last letter without at least saying "I love you." It could be suicide, but my gut saying something is wrong. RIP Cheslie.
Agreed 👍soo fishyyy
Plus women and especially women like her normally never choose jumping as suicide ita a very rare for women as they want to look perfect even after death
I feel the same way. Not buying it completely. Why not just jump from the 9th floor...And even if she had relationship difficulties with her parents...she was close to her mom and my gut says the letter was forced. There are other ways to commit suicide...I don't know but not buying the suicide story. She was a triple threat (stunning, intelligent, lawyer/MBA, Miss USA). A horrific tragedy. RIP.
The best comment 😣
@@differentlyrome9732 boom!
imagine that moment, figure out that exact moment and feel that moment when she was ready to jump next second, did she closed her eyes and opened her arms like she going to fly in heaven, what was coming into her mind, whats images she visualizing knowing she going to leave this world forever and never going to see sunrise anymore, its all so painful to imagine 💔
That’s all that’s been running In my head the past few days. To think how bad she might have been feeling on a day to day basis that the only way she saw a way out was to go and jump off that building. To think that was the only way she believed she would have some peace. So heartbreaking and tragic. Rest in paradise Cheslie 💙

Good questions...things we think abt.
I’m depressed, and mental illness runs in my family. I know my triggers and avoid them. She must’ve been damn good at hiding her demons. Something I could never do. You can see the depression on my face. Maybe being in the public eye just wasn’t healthy for her. Very sad that she would do this to herself. Why?
I wonder what was not going right in her life that she would end her life. The Million Dollar question is "Why"!!!!! God Bless her family.
For those who think she "had it all" . . . all of what???? She had what you don't have??? That's not having it all. If you want something, go get it like Cheslie did and you'll soon find out that labels, titles, looks, a great personality and unwaivering affinity mean absolutely nothing. There's no such thing as having it all. Acquire what makes a difference for your soul.
Boom this🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
@Sara Mill mothers can be depressed too. There are tons of stories of mothers being depressed especially after giving up careers to raise a family. There’s no answer to this. I think the op is saying, don’t compare your life, don’t assume having accomplishments can take away any pain you feel. If you’re in pain, you have to address the pain. Many women who accomplish things can be and are happy. “Acquire what makes a difference for your soul.” Don’t make your accomplishments something that defines you. This could be said for being a mother too. Kids grow up and become independent.
@fiestadancers Exactly!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your right. Perhaps having it all didn't matter. Maybe she needed an understanding and a Godly purpose to have it all.
I would like to know what she was missing!! She had..everything, and, she had..nothing
I'm teary-eyed watching this. Rest in peace Queen!
Awww Man.. this hurts soo bad and I didn't even know her like that!
Still can't believe!!💔
Rest In Peace, sweetheart..I hope you are in better place.
Even if there are signs, no one really knows how to help. By saying, "are you thinking about committing suicide" irritates those who think about it daily but just can't do it and walk around daily in pain and it's obvious. For people like this woman, I think she was happy and didn't really know depression so when she felt down, she didn't know how to deal with it because she never felt that sort of pain that many people live daily with and don't know how to get help or can't afford it. Getting a qualified / experienced therapist for people with serious mental illness is not obtainable. Just finding a therapist who is willing to take anyone may not help people with issues they have dealt with their whole life or personality issues on top of depression. Drugs aren't always the answer or just any random therapist who is just trying to get hours for their career. Finding mental health help is not easy and people who don't struggle with it daily have nothing to help other than to say, "Have you tried therapy, taking drugs, etc." Then when you go see someone, you get dumb questions like, "Have you thought about taking your life, have you felt depressed over the last few days, have you noticed not feeling as excited about things in life..." Ugh. For many, they struggle to just have a moment when they aren't feeling the sickness inside and finding some joy like others feel.
This is such a tragedy... I didn't know her but what I have seen she looked like such a beautiful caring soul
Devastating loss for anyone that knew, loved and appreciated this woman.
I dont this beautiful young lady but i keep thinking about her obviously she was going through something which she dont want to share my son attempt it too but by the grace of God he is still here may her family find peace in the prince of ipeace Jesus Christ
This is a really thoughtful beautiful tribute . Rip Cheslie
Beautiful, smart and successful. Too sad that she did not know how blessed she was. I feel for her parents. I guess sometimes someone up there gets jealous.
I'm so hurt inside that a person with all these good things going in her life that she died with having Everything other people who only dream of. A good education, career,good parents, lovely body, accomplished , beautiful smile. Unbelievable 🤔
Proof that no one has everything!
Her soul is at peace.....as a person that have had more than one attempt i could say we cant just tell people how we really feel inside....its truelly about the keep that smile, look good, hair, makeup, etc....its all about keeping the outside view right on point....while inside our minds our heart its all fckedup. She is resting and taking care of her mom in spirit. 😌
Smh my mom was sharing this with me this morning and I said omg we're both the same age she looks so peaceful bright and happy you'll never know what's going on in the background she's so young I wish she had more time to get help fr fr
I’m also around this age and Sometimes the happier you try to appear the most unhappiest u are. I know because I was there. I dunno if it’s the case for her
@@mayy9685 wow me too 😔😔😔 in 2020 it's like everything I was heading towards I felt like a huge failure and actually wanted die immediately but help came in many different forms we'll never know what happened because she was living her dreams it's just horrible us millennials are going just a little too early and this year is just starting my God it's so scary 😰😰😰😰
@@marquishalsell it’s so sad frfr😭 I also wish she would have gave herself more time. Mental illness is no joke. We got to be strong 💪. In some ways I wish there was a group irl we all could go to, to discuss this and be supportive of each other. Im happy you didn’t do anything, I know xactly how you feel it’s terrifying because I was close to doing what this girl did
@@mayy9685 that's why this year we gotta do our best and whenever we're having or going through these wicked problems we must go to those who are willing to help us because the devil and his demons are in huge attack mode
This hurts my heart may she rest in peace 🙏 💔
The pressure of being perfect and strong is too much of a burden
Her essay said it all. Chasing empty dreams or someone’s dreams only bring emptiness (she became Ms. N. Carolina for her mom and a lawyer for her dad). She didn’t do anything for herself. Parents need to stop living off their kids and get a life.
i did not even knew her but i cry with the news of her death ! what she wrote totally describes me. My mother was jealous of me and her message was not direct but indirect and it was saying "don't find a bf, don't dress up, don't go out, don't spend money, just stay into the house forever" its like she told me "die don't live don't be happy". And i have totally followed her advices not that i wanted its just they the bond we have with our mothers especially is so strong its like they create your future. I am almost 30 and lately i fully realised how much my mother harmed my life, she made me have low self esteem my whole life. No matter if i told her that she destroyed my life she doesn't even care. Life is hard. Noone can be so smart and perfect from his 18 and understand the mind games that our parents play with us. I guess Cheslie realised that she spend her life not following what she truly wanted. I am so sorry and i am in the same boat with her.
People need to stop repeating things they have no first hand knowledge of, they probably never had a conversation with her or her family, let's not make things worse than they are by playing detective, if ur compassion and want to help just pray for them if u believe in that, it's not the time for assumptions and gossips
( if ur compassionate)
@@skasmow Sorry to hear this about your own life experiences. I urge you to seek help if you need it. Just don't go doing the same as what Cheslie did. Even the strongest person are good at hiding it.
Too much pressure
This is sooooo sad😔 RIP PRETTY LADY 🙏
Such a beautiful woman. This is sad. Rest in peace cheslie!
Check on your strong friends... wise words
This is one of the worst losses ever. I am so sorry for everyone….and honestly for myself. A horrible loss. ❤️❤️
I just cannot believe this. I hope it is being seriously looked into. My gut says no.
Mental Health is complicated, private and Very Personal. I feel everyone has some form of Personality Disorder, which is not as insulting as using Mental Health Disorder Labels that cause people to be secretive and defensive when dealing with their disorder. Some disorders are more severe than others, however as long as a person is responsible and independent there is no need to worry about the type of shortcomings he or she has.
We can never truly understand why someone may decide to take their own life because there are a multitudes of factors to consider. However, we know people who give up life are often in deep turmoil and suffering. The wounds people often carry are not always visible for everyone to see. So many people carry trauma and pain and still go on in life they best they can. That's what is resiliency and strength. Although at times that pain becomes too much of a burden to carry alone. It's why we need each other and our understanding, compassion, and love. Everyone is carrying something and we never know what that might be. Compassionate inquiry is important and so is letting go of judgement.❤
Such a tragic loss to society. Devastated❤❤
According to insider, Cheslie was intensely & constantly fighting with her parents, because they wanted her to practice her Lawyer MBA profession rather than being a entertainment correspondent in EXTRA.
There were hurtful words given.
She was also closeted LGBTQ+.
New York Worsening Winter & Gloomy Weather, Lack of Sunlight, Depression sank in!
She left her properties (with a note, not a will) to her mother- allegedly to hurt her mother & to make her feel guilty.
In her essay in Allure Magazine May 2021 Kryst’s said “A grinning, crinkly-eyed glance at my achievements thus far makes me giddy about laying the groundwork for more, but turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes - and it’s infuriating. --Why earn more achievements just to collect another win? Why pursue another plaque or medal or line item on my resume if it’s for vanity’s sake, rather than out of passion? Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to only find emptiness?”
Rest in Peace Cheslie 💔💔💔
Why saying this? I don't see the point. Please respect the privacy of her family and the pain they must be in. If you really appreciate her, then don't say those things. If she was in problems with her family. That is a PRIVATE Matter and should not be your problem. More empathy Please. Or you still don't get it? You are hurting people with your cheap gossip
If you don't have nothing good to say, don't say a word.
Her private or family life are private. Not for anyone without base or foundation to make a statement base on assumptions or speculation.
That is a cheap shot ! Respect other people's lifes if you want yours to be respected.
You are talking based on nothing.
None of you even met the woman.
But of course is easy to speculate and assume.
People who assume tend to make an
Ass of themselves.
My most sincere condolences to the family and friends 🙏 RIP beautiful Queen 👸
@Millicient Aspinet no. She already shared most of herself with us. Do not add anything that she would find hurtful or disrespectful. Just stop
@Millicient Aspinet I don't agree. She was a public person yes, that is true. However her family life was always private. So I don't see the point in ventilating that. At this point if she was living was a mirage is not even for you or me to discuss it. God is the ultimate judge. I just hope she is at peace. This is such a terrible loss and tragedy for all her friends and family, and the people that she impacted positively of course.
I read a lot comments and many opinions anyways I stucked why and what reasons haf brought her to this point but if your comment is true about Cheslis 'Parents it made me a little clear in my mind,Thanks for share
So beautiful ! Rest in Peace
I can't believe she's gone, I was shock when I heard the news! God what at all is wrong with this world? My deepest sympathy to her family and love ones! RIP😭😭😭😭
if you read her recent essay, it tells you her outlook on life and her age, beauty. it was pretty gloomy one. she 'acted' in this way, but deep down she was struggling. she was a fighter but deep down she never felt good enough.
Has a person who had experience suicide by two of my family members. I'm once again speechless, over this young beautiful talented, Amazing woman death.
Never knew her but we can tell that she was full of life and energy.
What happen? We will never know
All we got left is to remember her for the great person she was.
Her family must be devastated!
Has her coworkers and everyone who knew her.
It just doesn't make sense !!!!!
Look like I underestimated depression 😔.
Has anyone thought about foul play? Her mom would have felt something. You can’t be someone’s best friend or mother daughter relationship and not suspect or feel anything.
People have been educated to believe lies!!
There was security footage of her jumping she was alone
Rest in Peace,,, Beautiful Lady,,, May God kept her soul and forgives her amen🙏☦️🙏.
She was a strong strong woman rip God bless her loved ones and her friends.
I am heartbroken for her mother
I loved her I found out that she died this morning I know she died yesterday but it appeared on my phone today when I found out I was really shocked I watched her and she was miss USA in 2019 mother mother doesn’t have her daughter anymore I feel bad for her mother I know what it’s like to lose somebody that you’re very close to it never gonna be the same without Cheslie I loved her I never met her but she was a huge impact in my life rest in peace Cheslie
Like I said numerous times, depression is a silent killer.
Depression is real. This is very heartbreaking 💔.
We gotta stop labeling people as being the “strong friend.” Everyone is human.
You really don't know anyone
from 2019 to 2020 she shared an apartment with our own Miss Universe Zozibin Tunzi of South Africa 🇿🇦 so we are also deeply hurt by this tragic death of former Miss USA .
so nice of gayle to join extra today to remember cheslie
She was beautiful omg so sad . RIP🙏🏼
'Do you think sunshine was too big a burden?' big question
When you are that person, it’s hard ❤️🙏🏽
Rest in peace beautiful lady 💔
Heartbreaking
Praising and worshiping God (Jesus) ..... Is the only medicine to depression.... 1. Accepting Jesus as your personal.
2. Spending time with God (reading Bible + praying)
3. Worshipping God ...

Believe me this is the only way to escape from ANY PROBLEM (INCLUDING DEPRESSION)
This worked for me
@@CONE57CONE57 praise the Lord.....😊
Amen🙏
Amen!!!

Sometimes, a person has a tendency to hide what he or she truly feels inside while showing the entire world the other side and make them think that you're truly strong but the truth is, your tearing apart and breaking down until the truth will push you to the limit and even take your own life. Sad.😩
Do what makes YOU happy! These pageants have become unachievable in goals that’s it’s rediculous. Dresses costs in the thousands, etc. Bring reality back and save more people from the brink.
Angel back to heaven 🙏
it really hurts you when the champion you know loses the invisible battle deep inside :(
This is devastating news! It's too sad to believe it. Mental health is definitely a huge issue today. RIP cheslie, we will surely miss you.
Sad how when ppl ask "How are you" the response is always good because if you're not doing good and you say that ppl avoid you and look at you like you're weird
Rest in Peace Beautiful🕊😪
I think Cheslie Kryst’s death caused Extra to lose its bid for a Daytime Emmy. Billy Bush still hasn’t gotten over this loss. So sudden. Kenneth A Huang 7/17/2022
If Being BEAUTIFUL, RICH, SUCCESSFUL & EDUCATED cause DEPRESSION ,
then i can imagine what all the UGLY, FAT, POOR, UNSUCCESSFUL HIGHSCHOOL DROP OUTS are going through .
Did you say Fat??....ouch
It breaks my heart
