  1. 😒Did she really kill herself, or did someone help her & cover it up w/ typed notes?
    😒Theres something the “investigation team” either didn’t do or isn’t telling us, given the sketchiness of the details reported, unless her privacy is just being protected. Story doesn’t add up given her vitality & w/ us being left suddenly w/ just a one lined, typed letter about leaving “everything” to her mom & an ambiguous Instagram post by the time her body is found crushed on the street. I heard no mention of important clues leading up to her demise that may have more clearly revealed how she went out. I’m also surprised that there was so little coverage or pressure for police to investigate or at least comment on evidence supporting a suicide theory further. The minimal details thus far looks staged, and suggests a cover up. More time is typically spent combing though more trivial celeb cases (i.e. the Jussie Smolliet case—I mean..Chicago PD produced street cam footage from all over town catching & covering the actions of all partipants leading up to the incident, & then more evidence was produced from their depositions down to bribery checks & private venue footage, etc. Why wasn’t the same energy made to ensure they got the correct cause of death for our Miss USA???? So many people suspect that she was harmed or killed prior to her fall & that the latest findings (a crushed body w/ sketchy typed notes) are a cover up. It was already reported that no drugs or alcohol was involved, which may have been the last viable explanation for it all. Why aren’t more questions being asked about this young woman’s death, like:

    1. Who did she last talk to?

    2. Did they ping her cell phone to determine just who she last called/called her?

    3. Where’s the cameras or security in this luxury high rise while a 9th FL resident is making her way to the 29th FL ledge? A cam or a guard could at least reveal if she was alone the whole time if not the entire scene leading up to her fall.

    4. What about street cams? Any suspicious activity caught within a few hrs of her being found?

    5. Her “letter” about leaving stuff to her mom was short & TYPED. Did they dust the keyboard (or anywhere else in her apt) for fingerprints?

    6. What was she wearing when found dead? Street clothes, PJs? The 29th FL is said to be a common area. Was there a gym or some other amenity there & was she dressed for that? That w/b a clue of whether or not she was on the floor w/a purpose vs forced from her apt. If the former, was anyone else around, & why didn’t they stop her or call for help if they saw her climbing a ledge?

    7. Who was around her? Any boyfriends or recent breakups? Any Frenemies? Or was she completely isolated?

    8. Back to her bldg: how tight is the security there? Can anyone just walk up in there? If not, where are the guards & what did they see/what can they find in surveillance tapes? We’re the guards changing shifts around the time she died, allowing someone to slip by? Were any “delivery” persons allowed direct access to the floors?

    9. Was she lured from her room or cornered at any point within the bldg to be forced off the ledge?

    10. She spoke of feeling targeted & online bullies.

    11. Meanwhile she was in very competitive arenas from the pageants (she was going for the Miss Universe title next), to her lines of work (law & television). Did someone put a hit out in her to “kill” the competition? If so, she’s not the first to receive a “hit,” (Check the Nancy Kerrigan vs Tonya Harding Olympics incident in around 1991). Meaning: It happens.

    12. It’s said that she was seen alone on the ledge, but how alone was she if someone saw her? Who was it that saw her? And how’d she access the ledge when NYC Highrise windows are usually locked for safetey? Who else was on the floor at the time? It’s unlikely to me that people /random passers-by from street level would even be looking upward, long less able to identify & report on a person from that high up, & even less so pinpoint the floor she stood on/fell from w/o knowing more about the bldg, as residents or involved parties would. I’m from that part of NYC where she died—those streets STAY busy, packed w/tourists, crazies, homeless people, high pedestrian traffic, & relentless vehicle traffic. Most people on street level are too busy looking str8 ahead or around themselves (on street level) to make sure no one picks their pockets as they all brush past each other while fighting for walking space on the sidewalks. Ain’t nobody in the street lookin UP at the bldgs to see who’s standing on a ledge. Except maybe some tourists unaccustomed to seeing tall bldgs, & even they would be unlikely to identify who’s standing on a ledge that high up, long less name the floor, etc. So…again: who reported they saw Cheslie “alone” on a ledge, at what time, & where were they looking from when they saw her? And at what point was 911 called afyer her “jump?”

    13. She revealed her “daily routine/schedule” and a tour of her home online—an absolute safety no-no if you’re a public figure living alone in a big city & subject to being targeted. Anyone could have followed her or been waiting at or near her home to corner or harm her, & she & her fam (living out of state) c/b none the wiser til too late. Did the bldg cameras clearly show her voluntarily walking alone into an elevator, to ride up to a floor she didn’t live on, to voluntarily enter into a balcony? Did the footage adequately show whether she was alone the entire time, and that she jumped vs our suspicions of her being carried, forced, or dumped over the ledge instead?

    14. She’s an attorney. Most lawyers know that suicide nullifies insurance payouts, & leaving a letter or clue of any sort behind is unwise unless that’s the intent. My reason for believing someone else posted her last (RIP) Social media mesg & typed that letter about leaving stuff to her mom for her, possibly in anticipation of or while she was dying. Extortionists and hitmen do that kind of stuff to cover their tracks.

    15. I can’t imagine someone who took as much pride & as good a care of her body, health, & appearance (in competition & in general) choosing such a violent way of dying, & one that would destroy her entire physical form. One would think she might want an open-casket funeral or to at least giver her family that option….if her demise was calculated enough that she took the time to select such an appropriate photo & message to post as a goodbye online, why wouldn’t as much thought be put into a less painful/messy/violent/destructive “way out,” as with as many other options one planning a suicide would have?

    16. She & her fam are from out of state, & she may have been separated from them, w/ everyone likely naive of her surroundings, esp if she was isolated w/no one to be her eyes & ears in all her settings. She could have been followed for days & not realized it. There’s a YouTube clip or two of her shooting for Extra, & stopping her shoot to show exasperation w/ some creepy dude who followed her & her colleague. He exchanged words w/her when asked to leave. Was that someone she knew and/or was he crazy enuff to later come for her? Was he the only one following her like that in the streets, on & off duty? Add: she wasn’t that hard to spot in a crowd w/her stature & signature (voluminous) hair.
    It’s frustrating that the police are always so quick to close a case & go w/the first or easiest assumption when people of color disappear or die (as done w/ Sandra Bland found hung in a jail cell after a wrongful arrest & for which her family eventually sued & won a million dollars for, meaning the precinct accepted fault…. And then there are countless others who make the news long after they’re dead if ever at all). At best they’ll check for drugs (to find an easy blame) & that’s it.
    This young woman was a national jewel w/a title representing the country—why is her sudden death not the hottest news topic and drawing more questions??? 😖
    So many questions. So many stones left unturned in the investigation of her case. So unfair. So sad. 🥺😢😔

  2. 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.
    🇺🇸

  3. She wanted to hurt family and friends to much pressure tired worn out and she competed with men complained a lot no truth around stop tripping smell the roses!!never give up

  4. Cheslie became so focused on micro aggressions and what she perceived as offenses when people meant no harm.

    For example, she was very upset when someone gave her the compliment of being eloquently articulate.

    She was consumed by critical race theory and she made herself into the ultimate victim via suicide. Even posting a picture of her stunning beauty before she jumped.

    She was extremely privileged living a life many dream about. Instead of counting her blessings she made everything a racial issue to get triggered by.

    A mindset like that can drive the most balanced person crazy.

  5. Sad about the former Miss USA suicide,life isn't always what it seems,sometimes there is some serious pain behind the smiles, young too.

  6. NBC team, Okay hear me out for some reason this sounds really just weird. They said that she lived on the 9th floor she went to the 29th floor and jumped off that is not adding up to me. I'm not saying we all have mental problems there's issues with a lot of people we're all getting therapy look what happened Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, something about the story is just not adding up for me. R.I.P😭🙏

  7. Wow RIP young lady you had so much to do and give in life. Depression is serious illness and it’s real. We all don’t know what she was really dealing with

  8. Our Prayers and thoughts are with the families doing this time. Praying for everyone that is connected in any way near and far. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
