Late Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst lays bare in her own words how horrifying online abuse by trolls led to her suicide at AGE 30 as her heartbreaking postmortem memoir is published two years after she jumped to her death

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 22, 2024
Back in January 2022, the pageant world was left shattered when Cheslie jumped to her death from the 29th floor of her apartment building in New York City , only three years after she became the oldest woman to ever earn the Miss USA title. Now, a tell-all book written by the pageant queen before her passing is set to shed some light on how the immense backlash that she faced in the wake of her Miss USA win lead to her sadly deciding to take her own life. Her mom, April Simpkins, 56, who is a co-author on the tome, explained to People magazine recently that her daughter left a suicide note stating that her last dying wish was to get the book published. In an excerpt from the memoir, obtained by the publication, Cheslie recalled battling an 'unshakable feeling that she did not belong' and an 'inner voice' that repeatedly told her she was 'never enough.' She explained that her 'long-standing insecurities' were only worsened after she was crowned as Miss USA - due to the harsh reaction from the public.

R'Bonney Gabriel's triumph on Saturday night has sparked controversy, with Anne Jakrajujut, the Thai businesswoman who purchased Miss Universe, accused of foul play. After Gabriel, 28, defeated runner up Miss Venezuela, Amanda Dudamel, Amy Emmerich, CEO of Miss Universe, said the results of the competition were handled and verified by a top accounting company. Emmerich told TMZ, "one of the top four accounting companies in the United States handled the findings and documented the procedure." The Miss Universe Organisation dismissed the allegations as 'absurd.'

On Saturday night, R'Bonney Gabriel of the United States was crowned Miss Universe, defeating opponents from 83 countries around the world. Gabriel's win came after a contest at the Miss USA pageant that revealed that his victory had been rigged. Gabriel's win had been a result of 'favoritism,' according to fellow American contestants at the time.' Gabriel's victory was also challenged by fellow candidates who said that a beauty salon that charges a fee to the winner was suspect, and she appeared in an ad less than 24 hours after she was crowned.
