  1. She was doing waayyy too much! I loved her. And this made me sad. But, we have to take care of ourselves. Just because you are young and strong. Doesn't mean you should take on a million things at once. Protect your mental health! You are not a machine!

    She was depressed. She was an Attorney. She was on "Extra". She was a Board member of several organizations giving a million speeches. Flying all over the country. She had a blog. Was developing a fashion line. And active on Instagram and Tik Tok where she was constantly trolled with people (who were jealous and hateful) to kill herself!

    And she was writing a book. This sounds like the "mania side" of Bi-polar Depression. And is obviously deadly. All of that is enough to cause someone to self-terminate. We have to take care of ourselves. Slow down. And not take on too much. We are not machines. Rest in Peace beautiful, smart Queen!

  2. This tragic news is still hard for me to process.cheslie was the epitome of a young successful beautiful brilliant black woman she must have been in so much despair to committed suicide she seemed to be happy only when other ppl were in her presence but alone she felt sorrow .💔🙏

  3. 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+ just like Gayle King her mentor. 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 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 TO FIND EMPTINESS?”

    Rest in Peace Cheslie 💔💔💔

  4. She was part of the USA Pageantry, worked for "Extra" as a journalist, probably have info that could be used regarding the child/human trafficking, adrenochrome junkies, pedophiles/transgenders amongst so many of the celebrities/elites. Hopefully she is one that went into "Federal Witness Protection" like so many others that had info to take them all down and it's just a cover up…and she has not been murdered by the dems/deepstate/elite, that would be comforting to know! People need to stop watching listening to the news stations owned by the p.o.s. Lying CCP and look for "Real News" stations to get the truth!

  5. Maybe she thinks , how hard we fight for but the world and people just fake and get more worst .. I also want to give up when see this worst Infront of my eyes and my ears

  6. It’s really hard for me to digest this news. I loved her so much. It’s been more than 24 hrs but I just can’t believe this💔.
    If anyone reading this please do not end your life by your own. God has given us a life and make it purposeful. You don’t know whom you are inspiring by being you irrespective of gender. Please Please think about Mom and Dad just once and look at their face in your phone ❤️❤️❤️❤️sometimes that’s really help! You are beautiful soul and together we shall get through tough times!

  7. Because she was soooo gorgeous people are very envious and very jealous and they spread untrue gossip and slander and ruin people’s lives and this can bring tragic results.Or someone may have been harassing her on social media I don’t know but my heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to her family

  8. It's hard to understand why someone would take their life. My first reaction is to feel that she was selfish as far as not thinking how people who cared about her would suffer. I have seeing people in their 60's and 70's suffering in constant physical pain still fighting to stay alive. But none of know what was going on in her mind and life.

  9. Some of these comments – what is wrong with some of you?! Cheslie is a child of God. She loved the Lord. Life is difficult and only God truly knows our hearts & our struggles. So much can play into such a tragedy, be it physical, chemical, emotional, or mental issues. Stop with the judging and show some compassion for her and one another. Again, life is tough so don't make it tougher by being cruel. Christ commands us to love one another, so if you are truly a follower of Christ or just a decent person, then stop with the hateful, judgmental comments. Otherwise, perhaps you are not decent or are just ignorant. Either way, please let her rest in peace and her family grieve without adding to their pain.

  10. I just worry for everyone who has been making it eventually, they may lose their minds like, but not limited to, many War Heros instead of dying in War as a Hero.. it's just lucky Kobe Bryant got wiped out instead of his sex scandals he was having way back didn't get rehashed so he is died as a Legend instead of something someone dislikes. It's like if people live too long they risk the chances of "losing their minds" instead of locking in their "gains" but of course the idea is to live 8000+ years on Earth as long as we have the resources to make it. There are also plenty of issues where people get distracted, make quick mistakes, wipe Decades of their career success in one day like Derek Chauvin, Kim Potter, Alec Baldwin, etc. Still though, I was brought up to "grind" in a way but I realize the issues with people spreading rest in peace for whatever reason. Basically, the biggest challenge is going to be how to challenge people into thinking "resting in peace" as not being a good idea. COVID should actually be seen as a liberation instead of people fighting against the natural (creator)God order of being taken out.

  11. 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.

  12. Cheslie was so beautiful, so smart and very intelligent. Now she is dead because she jumped to her death by committing suicide. Why ??, we don't know. Here is my thought: we can not live on earth without the Lord Jesus, this world is full of demonic thoughts that's why we need to rely on Jesus to keep living our supernatural breakthrough.

    Money doesn't make you happy, beauty doesn't make you happy, being miss , having a good job don't make you happy but living a life that glorifies God makes you real happy.

    Please don't hate me by this comment. I am just telling the truth

  13. Excuse me. If her light was so life-giving, why did she jump off a 30-story building? I am not following her down and I am praying no full-of-promise young women do either.
