WHY Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst Committed SUICIDE!!
So what happened that could push such a smart and beautiful woman towards taking her own life? Well according to one person who knew Cheslie – it was a personal struggle with her sexuality and career struggles, MTO News has learned.
According to the person we spoke to, Cheslie was having a career crisis. Many of her childhood friends and family wanted her to pursue a career in law, instead of her career as a “correspondent” for Extra – which didn’t pay well. And according to our insider, the struggle with what to do with her career, “weighed heavily on her.”
Also, the insider claims that Cheslie was allegedly a member of the LGBTQ+ crew – and possibly a closeted lesbian. The insider claimed that Chelsea – who was deeply religious – was struggling with being open about her sexuality.
Pageant Roots
Pageantry ran in Kryst’s blood, as her mother April Simpkins was named Mrs. North Carolina in 2002.
“I remember watching her win and going to appearances with her during her reign,” Kryst wrote in a 2019 blog post for the North Carolina Bar Association. “Her title provided her with a platform to advocate for issues that were important to her and people listened.”
At the time, her mother was just the second Black woman to hold the title, according to The Charlotte Observer.
