This shows how a person can be depressed and fake it so well. Usually the most smiley individuals are deep inside dying in depression. Comes to mind Robin Williams, and even Jim Carrey who has opened up about depression.
I mentioned the same thing. The one who wants everybody happy and gives everybody love are the ones who don’t feel it inside. I thank God I have finally come with putting myself first sometimes. A beautiful soul gone too soon 💔
She was a trained attorney, they hide their feelings for a living... she isn't representative of the nation, most people don't have and practice that skill for a living.
And four days later, she takes her own life. She was a very good actress; it is heartbreaking that she was able to hide her pain so well. Rest in peace and power, Cheslie.
Still don't believe it. Are they sure this was a suicide? Why not jump from her 9th floor apt? Why the 29th floor terrace? She would have died either way. I don't buy it. (yet...)RIP Beautiful lady!
@@MaxineAGGuess Her mom posted earlier confirming it. She said she suffered from high functioning depression that she hid from everyone including her until shortly before her death.
It’s so devastating and shockingly sad that Cheslie Kryst had to die that way. Outside, she is a successful lawyer, a former Miss USA, a great host of Miss Universe, a fitness buff and a cheerful correspondent from Extra TV. On the inside, she’s battling and fighting mentally. We cannot judge anyone whether they seemed happy especially on social media. Behind all of the glitz and the glamour, Cheslie is struggling on the inside. Mental health is very important and being kind to one another is a must for everyone. I’m praying for Cheslie’s family. Her death came as a shock to the world.
I had never heard of her until her suicide was on the news. Success in the world means nothing. The world needs Jesus Christ He is the real joy and happiness that lasts forever.
I know her from Reporting on Extra and what triggered it u ask urself that and that cryptic message on her Instagram post was obviously a cry for help why didn't anyone check on her smfh a pretty young life lost :-(
She wasn’t “faking” being happy, she was performing because this is what happens when you’re put in the spotlight from an early age. I understand because I too, was thrust in the limelight from a very young age taught to “perform” for others (as a singer and minister’s daughter) regardless of how I was feeling. Negative feelings in my family were minimized and thought of as “bad”. I had loving parents who worked hard and taught me high standards. On the outside, I was a perfect role model never wanting to disappoint my family and friends. I appeared articulate and happy, however on the inside I felt trapped because my talent had become my identity and without it, I wasn’t me. I didn’t know how to be authentic. Through the years I’ve learned to cope with perfectionism. I’ve overcome by living an honest and authentic lifestyle and embracing the pain of loss.
The same with me also...i joined med school because it seemed like what my parents wanted for me and now I am so stressed that I feel like my life revolves around medicine
“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,” -Cheslie Kryst I don't know if depression over getting older is what caused her suicide but its sad all the same that she felt like this. May she rest in peace.
@@magdalenaolaer7266 It does seem that way. And while she doesn't explicitly say it, I'm sure the pressures and expectation of women to have a partner and children was something she felt as well. It's all sad...😔
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.
Aaah blaming the parents her parents push her to be the best version of herself whats so wrong with that? If a black woman survive her teens she can survive having success why everyone believe this woman kill herself I don't believe that crap.
I understand what you are saying but the problem was that she "mentally" could not cope with the stressors(e.g. aging, careers) in her life. There could be many reasons for the mental "break down" ranging from severe lack of nutrients like Vitamin D(seasonal depression) and/or isolation(family in North Carolina). She looked extremely thin to me which maybe due to the fear of getting "fat" along with the "aging" fear. Regardless, it is so sad. May she rest in peace.
Heart wrenching. I too tied my identity and self worth to career when younger. Depression then came along. Took years to find self worth within. RIP beautiful Cheslie 🙏 your bright light remains 💫
She was an asset-based insurance investor in her value, her death is reward for someone's investment portfolios. Depression-suicide is always the blame to many deaths of individuals who have assets and investments with no dependents. Especially with the state of the US financial economy and the US dollar reserve status at risk. The black American judge in New York suicide is also very questionable, she was a high net worth investment individual.
When she etched her name on that pillow & told her so she won’t be forgotten.. that was a sign.. she had planned this ahead of time & fully aware of what’s to come.. Her jumping off the 29th floor on the 30th of January, could be a coincidence.. but could also be a telling sign that her turning 30 is something she didn’t want to happen..
For some opting out is always an option once it is truly considered. Finally deciding on an outcome can be years in the making. So every moment turns into a quest of finding something worth staying here for. The last phase is not if, but when and how.
Wow. Did she not live on the 29th floor? I assumed she did. If she did and she purposely went to that floor to jump, then damn. Because she said she was running out of time before she turned 30 without mattering.
One thing that sucks about dying this way is people always remember you more for how you died rather than your real legacy. It changes how people view everything you ever did and your overall image as a person changes forever. In most cases.. if you are feeling the urge to do this to yourself and you just wait another 10 minutes, you will usually change your mind. Just something to remember.
Paul ClipMaster, yes, you are correct!👍 I heard this quote, on a t.v. show years ago, and it stated that: Suicide, is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem.😣
@Paul ClipMaster -- I said the same thing, the legacy she was creating has now taken a backseat and the new narrative is how her life ended. It saddens me that she didn't see that there were options other than ending it. It saddens me that she didn't think to pick up the phone and call her mom; or a friend to say that she was really struggling. As shocking as her death was, is specifically why people will always remember it.
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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
And Ironically, she felt "old" at that age. And even worse, I don't blame her at all. We have being thought our entire life that once you reach 30, women in particular, you are pretty much done. When in reality, life is just starting.
The story really broke my heart. I don't even know her that well but I was shocked cus she seemed like such a bright light. She had so much going for her. It's such a tragic loss
High functioning depression is something i never of until this. I hope she rip and is at peace. This was a wake up call for me to not only check in with myself but others as well.
I think what people and Extra TV are missing here - is she's a trained attorney, hiding your emotions even during times of significant stress is a common expectation - she would easily look wonderful even when everything wasn't wonderful.
Lol 😂 so true this is what I learned in my criminal classes and my acting classes they teach us how to be great actors. I do this all the time. Front of every one I am the happiest girl my life is beautiful but when I get to my bed I cry my balls out eat food sing my lungs out pray talk to my friends even family I send them like so many audios hehe and then I watch funny love romantic movies hehe I dress up take selfies I dance every day and sing and helps me not to think about things that I cannot control I stopped planning everything after I turned 31 as I didn't get my husband by age of 30 or three more babies I have 3 degrees so many resumeds worked all over and I quit now traveling relaxing became an author and a translator work when I feel like it. I don't need society telling me when I should go to work and how much money I need to make my mental and emotional health comes first now we have covid so even better excuse to relax and enjoy life hehe fuck those that pressure human beings especially in America everyone working too fast laws needs to change asap only country saw that is hungry money 🤑💰
Y’all have to understand . Depression comes and goes . Just cause she looks good here does not mean anything . I remember being happy all day then when I get home something will trigger it and I’m crying out of nowhere then all of a sudden I don’t want to “do this anymore “.
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. 🇺🇸
It's not the people who are walking around sad and alone that you have to worry about sometimes. It is the one that is always happy and seems to have it all, because we can hide it better. The smile goes away when you are alone with yourself. That's when the darkness creeps in. You can appear to be happy but still not have joy. They are two totally different feelings. My sympathy goes out to her family. She was a beautiful young lady. May your soul rest in peace Cheslie.
People working in front of the camera always look enthusiastic and cheerful. She’s smiling but it does not reach her eyes. The eyes mirror our inner emotions.
It's heart-wrenching to see people who are happy from the outside but are bleeding on the inside. May we be sensitive to people who are really in deep need of our presence and help. RIP Cheslie.
Ohhh Please!!!! Just shaddup! You sound dum af 🙄 It's called DEPRESSION! In cheslies case it's called "high functioning depression". I can't stand when a stranger acts like they know the deceased personally.🤦🏽♀️
Applause all around to Extra 🙏 Just finished watching touching tribute show for Cheslie, show wouldn't be the same w/out her. I love how she lit up a room wherever she may be. Heaven must brighter ✨️ with her in it... rest in peace 🙏
@@sekhmet5736 Are you God? Who are you to say such a heartless thing? She made an impact on so many people’s lives and I know and pray that she has found peace in His arms.
@@rm689 I'm his bride. I know for sure that those who commit suicide suffer. There is no peace for those who do these actions. Only torments . Hell and agony. While on earth you have to cherish these days because once you see death you see the spiritual realm and mankind will not enter the heavenly realm. ruclips.net/video/yxlxyHI78yE/видео.html
You can see in her eyes always that they look teary-eyed a little but she had a smile on her face. You can tell. She was very bold to take her life that way. Jumping from that height is very frightening.
It's not about being bold it's about not being in the right state of mind.Non-depressed ppl just don't walk off a skyscraper. It's like having that voice inside telling you lies.She was a sick beautiful woman who couldn't keep fighting that inner voice.Just devastating!!!
@@feliciakidd9358 there are many ways to take your life maybe she knew if she jumped she would definitely not survive,the other ways to do it their would of been a chance of her surviving and she clearly didn't want that
Agreed and she accomplished so much and was on track to really shine. She was everything smart beautiful kind funny and this happened. It's terrible and a huge loss. Prayers for her dear mom and extra family. God rest her soul
So so sad and you just wonder why why? People can just hide everything inside their hearts. I suffer from depression and anxiety and it just so hurts me to see this bright light taken so young. Prayers to her loved ones
So Sad. She seemed to have it all. You never know what someone is going through. RIP LOVELY ONE. She was such a joy to watch on Extra. Gone WAY TO SOON. Condolences to the Family. Much ❤️ heartache 💔💔
It’s like she etched those pillows like she knew what was coming. May she Rest In Peace and God bless her and all the people going though similar situations. There is always hope. Don’t lose sight. Seek help. ❤️
This young woman had it all ! Young women have to understand that perfection is unattainable and a waste of time. I understand that she thought her goals were out of reach and she was getting older. She needed to turn to her faith to get her thru the rough spots. All is disappointing without faith. What a loss!
What you said is absolutely spot on! When we have rough patches we have to know, understand, and truly believe that trouble doesn’t last always! Please reach out and seek help!
@@omarcogle1965 Robin Williams was depressed because he was suffering from Lewy body dementia though. This girl was young, vibrant and healthy and her death was shocking to even her own family and even the manner in how she died was shocking too. It’s a senseless death and sad how bad she must have been mentally suffering
@@Naturefan354 Actually Robin has been dealing with depression since the 70s, there was an episode of Mork & Mindy where he played a dual role, and he actually mentioned depression and wasn't happy. You're right, that girl was young, and depression hits anyone at any age.
I'm still in utter disbelief. She was so great at her job so beautiful so fun so smart and had everything going for her. My heart breaks for her mother and her extra family 💔. What an incredible loss. We all need to keep them all in our prayers. Thank you Chelsie for the great times you gave us
it's just so sad. Such a beautiful young woman with so much going for her. Just proves we know nothing of what anyone is going through. Be kind to all. RIP BEAUTIFUL
My ex boyfriend was like that. Never in anyone’s wildest dreams would I have thought he would hang himself. There is nothing to be done for people who fake their happiness for the world to see. They don’t share with us their suffering so they cannot get our help. Each person simply must be the one to reach out because other people can’t guess or assume you are suicidal. If you are depressed, get help!
Gut wrenching 😢 I’m so so sad 😭 May she finally find her peace. What a beautiful and inspirational girl. What a loss for her family, friends, and fans 😢😢
Coming from someone who had suicidal thoughts. You don't plan a day to take your life. It's a spur of the moments decision, that you have thought about for a while, but never acted on. You're happy one day, the next you hit rock bottom and feel no way out. That's how she looked so happy just days before. May she now rest and find peace.
She manage to move on work meet her friends smile but inside the depression always was with her ..till she couldn't no more...she was beautiful in every way i feel alot of us relate to her .
My heartfelt prayers go out to her Mom, family and colleagues. Cheslie is a beautiful, smart woman. My heart is broken. I tuned in to "Extra" to see her beautiful face and what she was wearing. She reminds me of my Granddaughter. I will certainly miss her. Gone too soon!
I cant help but think something very tragic happened to her that caused her to make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent others from finding out! I feel its far deeper than mental illness. She was an incredibly bright woman who was smart enough to seek help. Something deeper affected her mental State to bring her to that decision!
There’s no reason that anyone knows of, for her to take her life and yet she did. That’s how mental illness can manifest. She accomplished so much in such a short time in her life. Remember to enjoy life along the way too. May her soul find peace and rest. 😪💔🥀
Getting older is a blessing and gift. This beutiful young women had everything in front of her. Children, Marriage, Grandchildren . God rest her beutiful soul. This 52 yr old women thinks that Women have way to much pressure on them now to look like they just are Instagram ready every time they walk out the front door. Its insane .
I love you Miss Cheslie, my daughter is your age, I love her. I pray that your story changes our lives for all of us to be safe and get support. Also being hopeful that your legacy of kindness will sustain us, whispering daily saying that we all matter and are well loved.
This is heartbreaking. I pray her family is able to gather information so they can find answers, peace and some closure in time. Whatever she was struggling to cope with, whether some internal battle or external experience, it was probably a very serious matter. She does not seem like the kind of person to make such a choice on some Morning whim. She was likely contemplating for some time, and masking to prevent any kind of intervention. I reject this notion that her death was about fading beauty and turning 30 as some are suggesting. She would not have chosen that option if beauty was her concern. No, something was haunting her. She was determined to make it stop and go. I fear she took her deep, dark pain and secrets with her. No reaching out, no looking back. It’s simply a total, tragedy and devastating loss for her family, siblings & the social Justice communities she supported. I believe many of her siblings are young as well. I pray God holds this family tight in their grief. RIP Young, brilliant, sweet soul. 💔🙏🏾🕊
I have a hard time believing this vibrant beautiful soul just ended her life jumping 60 stories to her death; I feel like there is more to this. My prayers are with her family.💔💔💔😓
From the outside, she looked happy and cheerful. Inside, she must have had demons she was fighting with, and the latter had won. As they say "you cannot judge a book by its own cover". She was beautiful, famous, accomplished woman, money .. all those really couldn't buy happiness. RIP to her.
I do believe that kindness is so important. kindness towards everyone. Cheslie prob had too much pressure and stress with work among other things. If it wasn't for society she would prob be alive today don't' allow others opinion or judgements drive you to insanity.
It wasn't society, it was NYC that drove her to it... ... coming out of a wonderful state like North Carolina, to a tough place like NYC with million dollar apartments and a rude culture.
This is devastating… you never know what people are going through on the inside… the smile on a individual face can cover up so much depression and unhappiness… So when the lights are out, stage curtains are closed… how are you really dealing with life????? So sorry!!!😔😔
She added: “Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to only find emptiness?” First of all condolences to all who lost her as a friend or family member. Let this be a lesson to all that we should never assume someone is inwardly stable and worthy of influence just because of what they have accomplished. Women (I’m 26) and especially young women need to realize that performing in society is not all they are destined to do. She killed herself because she lived only for the throne of her accomplishments. She said it herself, she is infuriated out of being deemed “irrelevant.” BY WHO? For WHAT? Her accomplishments were her currency and the only thing that gave her confidence to “empower” other women. If your mountain is the only thing that you rely on to make a difference, the valley eventually comes. Her death teaches me a lesson. And that is to never live for my own accomplishments and performance to measure my value and worth in society.
Wise observations, BETHANY. There are words of an old religious song I heard in my younger years that never left me or allowed me to become delusional about what to pursue and whenever there are accomplishments, or, for that matter, failures: "Only one life, and it too shall pass; only what is done for Christ will last." This young woman's life is one of the more poignant examples of this failure to do for Christ but instead do things for self- aggrandizement & self-soothing, which misguided endeavor only yields emptiness, disappointment, more disillusion, deterioration, & despair. I wish to God I could have crossed paths with her in this life to help her steer clear out of the trajectory of the self-inflicted doom. It's really an exceedingly sad story.
What does it profit us to gain the world? We need more than good looks, we need more than Money. We even need more than being smart. O God we need you in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ . May we find peace in knowing you through him. God have mercy upon our souls, because our adversary the devil is a prowling lion seeking whom he may kill and destroy!
This sad story took me by surprise. Smart, beautiful and successful. Definitely shocking news you just don’t know what’s in people’s mind. Depression is an invisible illness that is taking people’s lives so often, it’s just really sad 😞. Wish her family can find peace through this dark moments. Rest in peace forever Miss USA

Give me a break and gaslight someone else, don't try me. Odd thing is, NYPD RARELY, if EVER investigate black people that happen to "jump" from buildings... Speak on what you know, which doesn't appear to be much.
Rest In Peace bb. You were a ray of sunshine and inspired so many people around the world. We will always love you. God bless your soul. I remember watching her on tv or RUclips and seeing the interviews she did. All I thought was "wow, she is so incredibly gorgeous, and I love her hair". My heart hurts for her. How incredibly unfortunate and devastating...
The roots of this young woman's struggles went much deeper than a fear of aging. Outwardly accomplished and confident, she was far more than a beautiful face, but she didn't seem to realize it. Such a tragedy that somehow she thought she was running out of time.
Exactly. It was much deeper. Honestly this is the issue with society. People praise others on accomplishments, she should have never been a role model in the first place. What should result after her suicide is that pageants and accomplishments leave one empty if that is what they live for. Moral of the story.
Beautiful queen she lived a live of courage and success, she should not be defined by that one tragic moment , RIp queen I pray God has tooken all your pain away and my loved ones too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐
Prayers to her Family and her Extra Co-workers💔😪This hit me so hard.I went and got the Prettiest 💐 Bouquet of fresh flowers i could find.Put them on my Dad's grave.Yrs ago we would watch Extra together.Rest in Peace Cheslie🕊
Its also unfortunate, that suicide is trending in our society today. It's a lot to be sad about these days. Pandemic, politics, racism and inequality, future uncertainty for our American culture, and meaness is being normalized. Its a lot to take in, for all of us, but especially if you are African American.
Someone must have ingrained this being over the hill at thirty consciousness. Why she was just a mere baby and had everything going for her. Depression is a relentless beast. Jesus is the only answer. He is the only one that keeps my depression in check. Ugh this is truly devastating. Rest in Paradise dear Cheslie. My prayers and empathy are with her family. Especially her mother. 😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️✝️✝️
Its not exactly what you think. No long depressed nights or prolonged manic behavior. Sometimes the usual triggers stimulate the thoughts but then there are the times when all is well and happy. In the midst of the happiness these thoughts and feelings occur. With absolutely no reason to be sad one finds themselves struggling and in that moment it becomes clear that its not why or what but simply when. The national suicide line really is a great resource. Please call.
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.
Sending you a big hug, please know that your loved. It’s okay to not feel Ok. You’re not alone. You can move forward and face your depression. Your story isn’t over .make today better then yesterday. You got this 💕 I will be praying for you and anyone else that needs it🙏🏽
In the essay, written for Allure in March last year, Cheslie said that she “cringed” at the thought of turning 30. “Society has never been kind to those growing old, especially women,” she wrote. “…Turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes - and it’s infuriating.”
@@RepentImmediately I feel for her bc of the pain she felt, but agree in that even struggling w/ clinical depression, one can improve by shifting focus outward and the positive you could do for others, etc rather than self focus on material, age, accomplishment, etc
On the subject of depression, I think the pandemic had contributed to its increase in cases and made worst to those who already has it. I wouldn't stay for weeks and months in four walls high above not even seeing a bird, flower or feel the air. My point is have time to oneself, give credit it oneself, reach out to friends, relatives, have a time off be it a stroll in the park or beach or a much needed vacay. Buying a little something for oneself is rewarding..Depression is real..stress is real in this very negative world. And whatever you do..do it for God..only my thoughts..
The sad thing about depression most people don't know that they are depressed....they think it's a feeling of less fulfillment or emptiness but not depression.and if you live alone it is more dangerous because no one sees your mood changes or the sadness in the eyes or the abnormal behaviors😔 God bless her soul hopefully she finds peace 🙏
I really wished she HAD MORE TIME to realize how much she meant to so many . . . . She had charm, beauty, personality and was very funny & goofy. I would like to believe that she was JUST TOO TIRED.
Beautiful Lady Inside & Out. I can't imagine the Heartache her Mom endures each & every day when she wakes up knowing she'll never see her Precious daughter again. How I wish she would have reached Out to someone Instead of taking her Life
She accomplished more in 30 years than many will in a lifetime. She then threw herself from a high rise building. She was 30…and her life was over. Thirty made her too old. The pressure for women to maintain the bodies of 18 year olds, and the pressure to freeze themselves in time, never allowed to age or mature or grow old. This is what society has done. This woman got an MBA and a LAW DEGREE simultaneously. She was also incredibly beautiful and she would have been just as beautiful with laugh lines and grey threads weaving through her curls. Explain to me why we’ve made it so hard for women to age? All her accomplishments meant nothing if she couldn’t maintain a size 2 figure and a line free face? This makes me sad for her family who will never understand why and it makes me sad for these little pukes growing up today because they don’t even have the social skills to maintain relationships unless they get X amount of likes. No substance, no real purpose or goals. They’re just going to be Instagram famous. Bust out your best filters now because aging gracefully isn’t a thing society allows. Freeze yourself in time because you’re not allowed to age past the age of consent. Your life is over at 30. I hope she found peace, she just shouldn’t have had to end her life to find it. Now the world will never know all the ways she was going to change it; just by being in it. Look at how beautiful she is. Beauty and brains and she still took her own life. It’s only tragic if you’re beautiful, but she had so much more than that going for her. Rest in power.
And yet, many women far less attractive and far less accomplished don't kill themselves...maybe she was just a vain person who wasn't very strong. Accomplishments aren't a gauge of character.
@@RepentImmediately it was obvious in the letter that she feared getting older and i dont buy the pressure image excuse. Jane Fonda, Angela Bassett and Helen Mirren are all older than her and still look pretty good, not that hard to take care of yourself for the most part
@@RepentImmediately Agreed. It's hard to feel sorry for someone like that. How do you go from interviewing someone like Denzel Washington to throwing yourself off a fancy building? It sounds to me that she didn't appreciate what she had.
@@calvinm1866 You guys seem extremely judgemental. And you don’t understand how depression works. This is the reason why many people find it hard to express how they feel. You’re looking at the exterior and not understanding the turmoil she must’ve had inside . We all know it’s not uncommon for celebrities or people in the spotlight to even turn to drugs as a form of escapism from the stress that comes with being in the spotlight.
@@RepentImmediately and you’re just assuming that you had a vain character because she was attractive by conventional standards. I’ve noticed that when beautiful women suffer with mental health issues people are not sympathetic. At the end of the day, you don’t know her.You expect them to always be content with life just because of how other people perceive them and not understand that they are still human beings. It’s very strange.
I don't believe she jumped. There are cases where investigators initially announced suicide, but later determined foul play after closely examining evidence. Hope her residence and nearby security cameras were all examined closely with a fine toothed comb. Either way, RIP Cheslie.
Three months later and still NO video of her up on the terrace where she allegedly jumped. There was a nearby video that caught her hitting the ground. That was totally scrubbed from the Internet and I get that. However, cannot understand why NO video of her in an elevator or up on that terrace? There really needs to be an independent investigation... Don't trust NYPD

Someone as beautiful as Cheslie K would commit unthinkable is beyond devasting I can't even comprehend I am in such denial it was such a sad day when I seen the broadcast on TV about her passing I don't know if I can ever really make peace with her DEATH I think of her as my beloved niece although we are not kin she just seemed like such a joy to be around I am severely & forever broken in my ❤️
Her father had made a statement saying he believes she was struggling with some sort of family dysfunction but that he couldn’t comment any further at the time. Look up her father’s statement. Also, if you look at the last statement she wrote on Instagram, to me it seemed she was speaking to someone in particular (just my perception). Regardless, this is so tragic.Rest In Peace Cheslie 💗
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 💔💔💔
I am a depressed man. And this, sadly, has awaken something in me to not lose the will to live. Damn 😞 Long Live Cheslie. ❤️🔥💔

This shows how a person can be depressed and fake it so well. Usually the most smiley individuals are deep inside dying in depression.
Comes to mind Robin Williams, and even Jim Carrey who has opened up about depression.
Very sad I still can't Belive That she's gone At such young age!
My Question is why? Why why ? I guess will never know
RIP my Friend.
Was it depression? I mean how would anyone have known?And if anyone had know why not get her help?
@@liljay216 Because there were no signs. When she wasn't at home she always had a bright smile as you can see
I mentioned the same thing. The one who wants everybody happy and gives everybody love are the ones who don’t feel it inside. I thank God I have finally come with putting myself first sometimes. A beautiful soul gone too soon 💔
She was a trained attorney, they hide their feelings for a living... she isn't representative of the nation, most people don't have and practice that skill for a living.
And four days later, she takes her own life. She was a very good actress; it is heartbreaking that she was able to hide her pain so well. Rest in peace and power, Cheslie.
Still don't believe it. Are they sure this was a suicide? Why not jump from her 9th floor apt? Why the 29th floor terrace? She would have died either way. I don't buy it. (yet...)RIP Beautiful lady!
Maybe they killed her
Same here... Someone was chasing her upstairs
@@MaxineAGGuess Her mom posted earlier confirming it. She said she suffered from high functioning depression that she hid from everyone including her until shortly before her death.
@@MaxineAGGuess I don’t either. Not for a minute.
It’s so devastating and shockingly sad that Cheslie Kryst had to die that way. Outside, she is a successful lawyer, a former Miss USA, a great host of Miss Universe, a fitness buff and a cheerful correspondent from Extra TV. On the inside, she’s battling and fighting mentally. We cannot judge anyone whether they seemed happy especially on social media. Behind all of the glitz and the glamour, Cheslie is struggling on the inside. Mental health is very important and being kind to one another is a must for everyone. I’m praying for Cheslie’s family. Her death came as a shock to the world.
I had never heard of her until her suicide was on the news. Success in the world means nothing. The world needs Jesus Christ He is the real joy and happiness that lasts forever.
@@prettypumpkin2314 Amen to that….
I know her from Reporting on Extra and what triggered it u ask urself that and that cryptic message on her Instagram post was obviously a cry for help why didn't anyone check on her smfh a pretty young life lost :-(
@@prettypumpkin2314
Amen 🙏
@@prettypumpkin2314 there are atheist people that are happy and live longer my grandpa wasn't a Christian and he died at 103 yrs old.
She wasn’t “faking” being happy, she was performing because this is what happens when you’re put in the spotlight from an early age. I understand because I too, was thrust in the limelight from a very young age taught to “perform” for others (as a singer and minister’s daughter) regardless of how I was feeling. Negative feelings in my family were minimized and thought of as “bad”. I had loving parents who worked hard and taught me high standards. On the outside, I was a perfect role model never wanting to disappoint my family and friends. I appeared articulate and happy, however on the inside I felt trapped because my talent had become my identity and without it, I wasn’t me. I didn’t know how to be authentic. Through the years I’ve learned to cope with perfectionism. I’ve overcome by living an honest and authentic lifestyle and embracing the pain of loss.
The same with me also...i joined med school because it seemed like what my parents wanted for me and now I am so stressed that I feel like my life revolves around medicine
I'm glad you are healing. I'm sorry you went through that
“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,” -Cheslie Kryst
I don't know if depression over getting older is what caused her suicide but its sad all the same that she felt like this. May she rest in peace.
Yes the essay is very telling, she was definitely struggling with age and the pressures of everything !
Believe me, getting older is very depressing for some people...
Society needs to be more supportive I guess
So sad. She had a great fear of aging and had lost focus on the greater purpose of existence.
@@magdalenaolaer7266 It does seem that way. And while she doesn't explicitly say it, I'm sure the pressures and expectation of women to have a partner and children was something she felt as well. It's all sad...😔
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.
Aaah blaming the parents her parents push her to be the best version of herself whats so wrong with that? If a black woman survive her teens she can survive having success why everyone believe this woman kill herself I don't believe that crap.
@@devaughangraham1432 being a conformist doesn't equate to being the best version of yourself...try thinking critically sometime
I understand what you are saying but the problem was that she "mentally" could not cope with the stressors(e.g. aging, careers) in her life. There could be many reasons for the mental "break down" ranging from severe lack of nutrients like Vitamin D(seasonal depression) and/or isolation(family in North Carolina). She looked extremely thin to me which maybe due to the fear of getting "fat" along with the "aging" fear. Regardless, it is so sad. May she rest in peace.
So true
Damn
Heart wrenching. I too tied my identity and self worth to career when younger. Depression then came along. Took years to find self worth within. RIP beautiful Cheslie 🙏 your bright light remains 💫
She was probably murdered
She was an asset-based insurance investor in her value, her death is reward for someone's investment portfolios. Depression-suicide is always the blame to many deaths of individuals who have assets and investments with no dependents. Especially with the state of the US financial economy and the US dollar reserve status at risk. The black American judge in New York suicide is also very questionable, she was a high net worth investment individual.
You don’t know why she killed herself. Stop acting like you have the slightest idea. So odd!
@@phillipjuan1201 Agree 💯 they should do an investigation and not just rule suicide.
@@HaloKatz007 They won't cuz it was a ritual sacrifice.
When she etched her name on that pillow & told her so she won’t be forgotten.. that was a sign.. she had planned this ahead of time & fully aware of what’s to come.. Her jumping off the 29th floor on the 30th of January, could be a coincidence.. but could also be a telling sign that her turning 30 is something she didn’t want to happen..
Wow good catch
For some opting out is always an option once it is truly considered. Finally deciding on an outcome can be years in the making. So every moment turns into a quest of finding something worth staying here for. The last phase is not if, but when and how.
And on the 30th she jumped
Wow. Did she not live on the 29th floor? I assumed she did. If she did and she purposely went to that floor to jump, then damn. Because she said she was running out of time before she turned 30 without mattering.
Yea I don't know ‼️ just because they said it don't make it true 🤷
One thing that sucks about dying this way is people always remember you more for how you died rather than your real legacy. It changes how people view everything you ever did and your overall image as a person changes forever. In most cases.. if you are feeling the urge to do this to yourself and you just wait another 10 minutes, you will usually change your mind. Just something to remember.
I agree with you
People always remember it - b/c it was the choice she made... to fall 92 meters to the pavement, and throw everything away.
Paul ClipMaster, yes, you are correct!👍 I heard this quote, on a t.v. show years ago, and it stated that: Suicide, is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem.😣
@@alanncsu3243 Maybe she felt like she didn't have a choice? It's really really sad. She had everything going for her
@Paul ClipMaster -- I said the same thing, the legacy she was creating has now taken a backseat and the new narrative is how her life ended. It saddens me that she didn't see that there were options other than ending it. It saddens me that she didn't think to pick up the phone and call her mom; or a friend to say that she was really struggling. As shocking as her death was, is specifically why people will always remember it.
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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
Muslim…
And Ironically, she felt "old" at that age. And even worse, I don't blame her at all. We have being thought our entire life that once you reach 30, women in particular, you are pretty much done. When in reality, life is just starting.
Was she addicted to accomplishing, and saw no more contests to compete in? Was living day to day just too ordinsry a life for her? If was
@@user-bi4sr3rj8b And?
So true, she had a law and business degree, former beauty queen and TV career, and a fiancee as well. But was sad inside.
The story really broke my heart. I don't even know her that well but I was shocked cus she seemed like such a bright light. She had so much going for her. It's such a tragic loss
Agreed
High functioning depression is something i never of until this. I hope she rip and is at peace. This was a wake up call for me to not only check in with myself but others as well.
I think what people and Extra TV are missing here - is she's a trained attorney, hiding your emotions even during times of significant stress is a common expectation - she would easily look wonderful even when everything wasn't wonderful.
Good thinking, makes a lot of sense
Lol 😂 so true this is what I learned in my criminal classes and my acting classes they teach us how to be great actors. I do this all the time. Front of every one I am the happiest girl my life is beautiful but when I get to my bed I cry my balls out eat food sing my lungs out pray talk to my friends even family I send them like so many audios hehe and then I watch funny love romantic movies hehe I dress up take selfies I dance every day and sing and helps me not to think about things that I cannot control I stopped planning everything after I turned 31 as I didn't get my husband by age of 30 or three more babies I have 3 degrees so many resumeds worked all over and I quit now traveling relaxing became an author and a translator work when I feel like it. I don't need society telling me when I should go to work and how much money I need to make my mental and emotional health comes first now we have covid so even better excuse to relax and enjoy life hehe fuck those that pressure human beings especially in America everyone working too fast laws needs to change asap only country saw that is hungry money 🤑💰

Y’all have to understand . Depression comes and goes . Just cause she looks good here does not mean anything . I remember being happy all day then when I get home something will trigger it and I’m crying out of nowhere then all of a sudden I don’t want to “do this anymore “.
Fighting demons that's what depression is . It's nothing more than spiritual warfare with demonic entities.

People are very clueless so it is futile to explain that is often the case. Those who get, get it; those who don't, don't.
@@CatEyeGem Stop living for this world and just get close with God so you don’t feel as depressed or have suicidal thoughts
Same here 🥺
Young folks speaking from an older person don't give up life is so precious you will get through whatever it is you're facing right now
Thanks you.I needed 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.
🇺🇸
You have a great point
Think Tank..true words.......
True
over-achievement often masks overcompensating for something lacking in oneself...even if not valid, externals never fulfill internal
Also we are in a pandemic so that doesn’t help.
Extra showing her so much love! I love it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's not the people who are walking around sad and alone that you have to worry about sometimes. It is the one that is always happy and seems to have it all, because we can hide it better. The smile goes away when you are alone with yourself. That's when the darkness creeps in. You can appear to be happy but still not have joy. They are two totally different feelings. My sympathy goes out to her family. She was a beautiful young lady. May your soul rest in peace Cheslie.
You know, you are so right. Some people like to be mopey and downers, but they respect life.
People working in front of the camera always look enthusiastic and cheerful. She’s smiling but it does not reach her eyes. The eyes mirror our inner emotions.
Even I see it.
Agree, no spark in her eyes, sad
The eyes never LIE😔
It's heart-wrenching to see people who are happy from the outside but are bleeding on the inside. May we be sensitive to people who are really in deep need of our presence and help. RIP Cheslie.
She needed herself...
Always stay true who you really are...live for you!
Agree.🙏🌹
Ohhh Please!!!! Just shaddup! You sound dum af 🙄
It's called DEPRESSION! In cheslies case it's called "high functioning depression". I can't stand when a stranger acts like they know the deceased personally.🤦🏽♀️
How does this happen, I am just floored.....she appears to have great respect for you Billy and your encouragement.....

It's not about being bold it's about not being in the right state of mind.Non-depressed ppl just don't walk off a skyscraper. It's like having that voice inside telling you lies.She was a sick beautiful woman who couldn't keep fighting that inner voice.Just devastating!!!

She knew 🙏🏾
This young woman had it all ! Young women have to understand that perfection is unattainable and a waste of time. I understand that she thought her goals were out of reach and she was getting older. She needed to turn to her faith to get her thru the rough spots. All is disappointing without faith. What a loss!
What you said is absolutely spot on! When we have rough patches we have to know, understand, and truly believe that trouble doesn’t last always! Please reach out and seek help!

My ex boyfriend was like that. Never in anyone’s wildest dreams would I have thought he would hang himself. There is nothing to be done for people who fake their happiness for the world to see.

Coming from someone who had suicidal thoughts. You don't plan a day to take your life. It's a spur of the moments decision, that you have thought about for a while, but never acted on. You're happy one day, the next you hit rock bottom and feel no way out. That's how she looked so happy just days before. May she now rest and find peace.
She manage to move on work meet her friends smile but inside the depression always was with her ..till she couldn't no more...she was beautiful in every way i feel alot of us relate to her .
My heartfelt prayers go out to her Mom, family and colleagues. Cheslie is a beautiful, smart woman. My heart is broken. I tuned in to "Extra" to see her beautiful face and what she was wearing. She reminds me of my Granddaughter. I will certainly miss her.

This is heartbreaking. I pray her family is able to gather information so they can find answers, peace and some closure in time. Whatever she was struggling to cope with, whether some internal battle or external experience, it was probably a very serious matter. She does not seem like the kind of person to make such a choice on some Morning whim. She was likely contemplating for some time, and masking to prevent any kind of intervention. I reject this notion that her death was about fading beauty and turning 30 as some are suggesting. She would not have chosen that option if beauty was her concern. No, something was haunting her. She was determined to make it stop and go. I fear she took her deep, dark pain and secrets with her. No reaching out, no looking back. It’s simply a total, tragedy and devastating loss for her family, siblings & the social Justice communities she supported. I believe many of her siblings are young as well. I pray God holds this family tight in their grief. RIP Young, brilliant, sweet soul. 💔🙏🏾🕊
I have a hard time believing this vibrant beautiful soul just ended her life jumping 60 stories to her death; I feel like there is more to this. My prayers are with her family.💔💔💔😓
So sad & such a tragedy! 🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
From the outside, she looked happy and cheerful. Inside, she must have had demons
she was fighting with, and the latter had won.
As they say "you cannot judge a book by its own cover".
She was beautiful, famous, accomplished woman, money .. all those really
couldn't buy happiness.
RIP to her.
I do believe that kindness is so important. kindness towards everyone. Cheslie prob had too much pressure and stress with work among other things. If it wasn't for society she would prob be alive today don't' allow others opinion or judgements drive you to insanity.
But isn’t that what we are taught to do…Be the best
She put pressure on herself... There is such a thing as forming your own values.
@@RepentImmediately that could be true too…but that pressure comes from society as well. If you want to be truly happy, fuck what others think.
It wasn't society, it was NYC that drove her to it...
... coming out of a wonderful state like North Carolina, to a tough place like NYC with million dollar apartments and a rude culture.
20% of all suicides in NYC are building jumpers - it's an unkind and difficult place for people to live.
Healing thoughts and prayers for her family and friends 🙏 May she R.I.P 🤍🤍🤍
As a reminder..always check on your strong friends as well as those who feel weak. We all have a side that no one else sees but us☹
This is devastating… you never know what people are going through on the inside… the smile on a individual face can cover up so much depression and unhappiness… So when the lights are out, stage curtains are closed… how are you really dealing with life????? So sorry!!!😔😔
I couldn't believe this when I heard the news. It's so frustrating and so heartbreaking.
RIP Cheslie, you will be always remembered and missed💙
She added: “Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to only find emptiness?”
First of all condolences to all who lost her as a friend or family member.
Let this be a lesson to all that we should never assume someone is inwardly stable and worthy of influence just because of what they have accomplished. Women (I’m 26) and especially young women need to realize that performing in society is not all they are destined to do. She killed herself because she lived only for the throne of her accomplishments. She said it herself, she is infuriated out of being deemed “irrelevant.” BY WHO? For WHAT? Her accomplishments were her currency and the only thing that gave her confidence to “empower” other women. If your mountain is the only thing that you rely on to make a difference, the valley eventually comes. Her death teaches me a lesson. And that is to never live for my own accomplishments and performance to measure my value and worth in society.
Well said
Very well said!!
Wise observations, BETHANY.
There are words of an old religious song I heard in my younger years that never left me or allowed me to become delusional about what to pursue and whenever there are accomplishments, or, for that matter, failures: "Only one life, and it too shall pass; only what is done for Christ will last."
This young woman's life is one of the more poignant examples of this failure to do for Christ but instead do things for self- aggrandizement & self-soothing, which misguided endeavor only yields emptiness, disappointment, more disillusion, deterioration, & despair.
I wish to God I could have crossed paths with her in this life to help her steer clear out of the trajectory of the self-inflicted doom. It's really an exceedingly sad story.
This is a word!! I have to remember this one!!
What does it profit us to gain the world? We need more than good looks, we need more than Money. We even need more than being smart. O God we need you in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ . May we find peace in knowing you through him. God have mercy upon our souls, because our adversary the devil is a prowling lion seeking whom he may kill and destroy!
This sad story took me by surprise. Smart, beautiful and successful. Definitely shocking news you just don’t know what’s in people’s mind.

The roots of this young woman's struggles went much deeper than a fear of aging. Outwardly accomplished and confident, she was far more than a beautiful face, but she didn't seem to realize it. Such a tragedy that somehow she thought she was running out of time.
Exactly. It was much deeper. Honestly this is the issue with society. People praise others on accomplishments, she should have never been a role model in the first place. What should result after her suicide is that pageants and accomplishments leave one empty if that is what they live for. Moral of the story.

Pandemic, politics, racism and inequality, future uncertainty for our American culture, and meaness is being normalized. Its a lot to take in, for all of us, but especially if you are African American.
She is biracial*; she ain't a BW
@@twilightstar9973 do you not think that this woman, did not identify as black? Go sit down, and stfu.
NYC is a tough and unforgiving place to live - many people fail there and have to leave... something she probably couldn't face the idea of.
Still crying over this tragedy. 😢
Someone must have ingrained this being over the hill at thirty consciousness. Why she was just a mere baby and had everything going for her. Depression is a relentless beast. Jesus is the only answer. He is the only one that keeps my depression in check. Ugh this is truly devastating. Rest in Paradise dear Cheslie. My prayers and empathy are with her family. Especially her mother. 😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️✝️✝️
Someone = social media, they engrain it into women every day of the week... completely toxic to someone's health.
Sooooooo beautiful and she had it all. This is so sad 😞 😔
Its not exactly what you think. No long depressed nights or prolonged manic behavior. Sometimes the usual triggers stimulate the thoughts but then there are the times when all is well and happy. In the midst of the happiness these thoughts and feelings occur. With absolutely no reason to be sad one finds themselves struggling and in that moment it becomes clear that its not why or what but simply when. The national suicide line really is a great resource. Please call.
absolutely heartbreaking. rest well beautiful Queen! GOD's got you now sis!
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.
Sending you a big hug, please know that your loved. It’s okay to not feel Ok. You’re not alone. You can move forward and face your depression. Your story isn’t over .make today better then yesterday. You got this 💕 I will be praying for you and anyone else that needs it🙏🏽
In the essay, written for Allure in March last year, Cheslie said that she “cringed” at the thought of turning 30. “Society has never been kind to those growing old, especially women,” she wrote. “…Turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes - and it’s infuriating.”
The words of a woman who didn't know what real problems were
You keep spamming that idiot thing over and over stop its depressing
@@RepentImmediately Agreed. If I had her mindset I would've deleted myself years ago.
@@RepentImmediately I feel for her bc of the pain she felt, but agree in that even struggling w/ clinical depression, one can improve by shifting focus outward and the positive you could do for others, etc rather than self focus on material, age, accomplishment, etc
@@RepentImmediately Bingo! As much as I hate to admit it, you hit on something there. She did not know what real problems were...
On the subject of depression, I think the pandemic had contributed to its increase in cases and made worst to those who already has it. I wouldn't stay for weeks and months in four walls high above not even seeing a bird, flower or feel the air. My point is have time to oneself, give credit it oneself, reach out to friends, relatives, have a time off be it a stroll in the park or beach or a much needed vacay. Buying a little something for oneself is rewarding..Depression is real..stress is real in this very negative world. And whatever you do..do it for God..only my thoughts..
The sad thing about depression most people don't know that they are depressed....they think it's a feeling of less fulfillment or emptiness but not depression.and if you live alone it is more dangerous because no one sees your mood changes or the sadness in the eyes or the abnormal behaviors😔 God bless her soul hopefully she finds peace 🙏
I really wished she HAD MORE TIME to realize how much she meant to so many . . . .
She had charm, beauty, personality and was very funny & goofy. I would like to believe that she was JUST TOO TIRED.
Beautiful Lady Inside & Out. I can't imagine the Heartache her Mom endures each & every day when she wakes up knowing she'll never see her Precious daughter again. How I wish she would have reached Out to someone Instead of taking her Life
She accomplished more in 30 years than many will in a lifetime. She then threw herself from a high rise building. She was 30…and her life was over. Thirty made her too old.
The pressure for women to maintain the bodies of 18 year olds, and the pressure to freeze themselves in time, never allowed to age or mature or grow old. This is what society has done. This woman got an MBA and a LAW DEGREE simultaneously. She was also incredibly beautiful and she would have been just as beautiful with laugh lines and grey threads weaving through her curls.
Explain to me why we’ve made it so hard for women to age? All her accomplishments meant nothing if she couldn’t maintain a size 2 figure and a line free face?
This makes me sad for her family who will never understand why and it makes me sad for these little pukes growing up today because they don’t even have the social skills to maintain relationships unless they get X amount of likes. No substance, no real purpose or goals. They’re just going to be Instagram famous.
Bust out your best filters now because aging gracefully isn’t a thing society allows. Freeze yourself in time because you’re not allowed to age past the age of consent. Your life is over at 30.
I hope she found peace, she just shouldn’t have had to end her life to find it. Now the world will never know all the ways she was going to change it; just by being in it.
Look at how beautiful she is. Beauty and brains and she still took her own life. It’s only tragic if you’re beautiful, but she had so much more than that going for her. Rest in power.
And yet, many women far less attractive and far less accomplished don't kill themselves...maybe she was just a vain person who wasn't very strong. Accomplishments aren't a gauge of character.
@@RepentImmediately it was obvious in the letter that she feared getting older and i dont buy the pressure image excuse. Jane Fonda, Angela Bassett and Helen Mirren are all older than her and still look pretty good, not that hard to take care of yourself for the most part
@@RepentImmediately Agreed. It's hard to feel sorry for someone like that. How do you go from interviewing someone like Denzel Washington to throwing yourself off a fancy building? It sounds to me that she didn't appreciate what she had.
@@calvinm1866 You guys seem extremely judgemental. And you don’t understand how depression works. This is the reason why many people find it hard to express how they feel. You’re looking at the exterior and not understanding the turmoil she must’ve had inside . We all know it’s not uncommon for celebrities or people in the spotlight to even turn to drugs as a form of escapism from the stress that comes with being in the spotlight.
@@RepentImmediately and you’re just assuming that you had a vain character because she was attractive by conventional standards. I’ve noticed that when beautiful women suffer with mental health issues people are not sympathetic. At the end of the day, you don’t know her.You expect them to always be content with life just because of how other people perceive them and not understand that they are still human beings. It’s very strange.
She's so beautiful my goodness!!!❤❤❤
I don't believe she jumped. There are cases where investigators initially announced suicide, but later determined foul play after closely examining evidence. Hope her residence and nearby security cameras were all examined closely with a fine toothed comb. Either way, RIP Cheslie.
lmao, in the camera image it clealy showed that she jumped not pushed. enough
Three months later and still NO video of her up on the terrace where she allegedly jumped. There was a nearby video that caught her hitting the ground. That was totally scrubbed from the Internet and I get that. However, cannot understand why NO video of her in an elevator or up on that terrace? There really needs to be an independent investigation... Don't trust NYPD
@@JungleYT pretty sure her fam would not want that shown to the public so stop looking for conspiracy theories and get a life. her fam knew she battled depression on the other hand bw are being by their bm cause that's the reality: a bm killed his black gf and shot his two young daughers to death in north carolina recently so get real
@@MsDesiree39 What camera image are you talking about??? And why are you randomly tossing in some story about a Black man killing his Black girlfriend? A White guy strangled his girlfriend and left her to rot in Wyoming before killing himself... What is your point?
I'm so sad and heartbroken for her family but also her, she was such a great correspondent, so I was so floored when I saw the news she really was like sunshine
Im shock and felt sad.
Age is just a number as what my grandfa told us. The sanity matters most.
Someone as beautiful as Cheslie K would commit unthinkable is beyond devasting I can't even comprehend I am in such denial it was such a sad day when I seen the broadcast on TV about her passing I don't know if I can ever really make peace with her DEATH I think of her as my beloved niece although we are not kin she just seemed like such a joy to be around I am severely & forever broken in my ❤️
Her father had made a statement saying he believes she was struggling with some sort of family dysfunction but that he couldn’t comment any further at the time. Look up her father’s statement. Also, if you look at the last statement she wrote on Instagram, to me it seemed she was speaking to someone in particular (just my perception). Regardless, this is so tragic.Rest In Peace Cheslie 💗
She was also supposed the go to someone's wedding that Saturday night and in the last . minute, bailed on the wedding
I’m in total shock! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Depression is no joke
My Favorite "Extra" Correspondent 😿 You had such a Beautiful Light & Vibrancy to You...Rest In Peace Beautiful...🕊️ May God Heal Your Soul 🙏🌻
People's are not happy once they see out their own eyes life is not for everyone ⚘⚘⚘⚘
what happened from 27th 28th 29th and 30th. what changed. My God.
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 💔💔💔
Where did you see this information from this particular "insider"?
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know about any of this! Wow! Can you share a link please?
STOP TROLLING! YOU KEEP ON SHARING FAKE NEWS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS INSANE.
Is this analysis purely speculative or proven fact?
Rip beautiful... You are so loved. :(
rip🌹beautiful 🙏
My first time seeing this and Cheslie Kryst! My condolences to the family, Extra, the fans and friends.
