  1. 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, all the wonderful things you did in this life, live on, for us to learn from and enjoy! ❤️✨

  2. John 8:12 NKJV
    Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

  3. Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
    12 (Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

  5. 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!

  6. I'm 30 years old as well Depression is a bad thing. I have it but drink medication for it it takes a lot of gutts to kill your self I have thaught about it and I cant it's against God's rules if you still here it's for a reason it's not your time to go yet

  7. She did a lot in her 30 years of life. She became Miss USA, she was a host on Extra, she was an attorney, and she was some kind of athlete. But with this type of life, and this type of mind state comes pressure. And is all of this success really worth it if you're not happy. I mean perhaps being a normal woman with kids, a man, a family, and normal success isn't bad especially when it fulfills you. Because Cheslie Kryst is a perfect example that success does not equal happiness.

  8. …Quite a tragedy. Why would someone who's the embodiment of success kill themselves? If it's because of internet abuse, trolling, or what not. Then get off the F*$-ing phone and disconnect.
