A family friend revealed Simone had been quietly battling depression for a while.
Simone came to prominence as a contestant on US X-Factor in 2011. She was a finalist on the show, making it to the top 17 before being eliminated by her mentor on the show, Simon Cowell. She joined G.R.L in 2012 and just recently, their single 'Ugly Heart' went platinum in Australia. Sad she didn't find reasons to continue living. See more photos of Simone after the cut...
why on earth will such s beautiful lady kill herself???
ReplyDeleteSo many reasons, Life aint easy, smtimes death is d easy way out.
DeleteI think depression is a scientific word to justify it to me this is demonic possession coz no reason is enough to take ur own life

Anonymous dat is a wrong statement,taking her life is not an option no Mata what she is passing tru.Damm u
DeleteSo why haven't u taken ur own life? Cos u can't tell me that ur own lifeis a bed of roses...
DeleteMy dear, money, fame, beauty are not the defining factor of happiness. Infact those are called false success. That's y u see that it's mostly the presumed successful pple that commits suicide cos they are not truly happy and are not satisfied.
DeleteTrue happiness comes from doing what you love, helping others and most importantly pleasing your creator. For more on this go to the jw.org website or read the October issue of the awake mag.

ReplyDeleteSatan you wicked oh! Do you sent your demons of depression to harass this girl till she gave in. Hmmm...I rebuke you. Rest in peace beautiful one and may God have mercy on your soul.
ReplyDeleteIt is so painful. Life is not about me. It is about how I impact YOU. My assignment is to be here for YOU! It is important we stay cognizant and aware to the private emotional needs of others. When someone cries out to you, telling them "You are such a drama queen", is giving rise to their reclusion.
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteSo sad depression is d worst of all,dats y no mater what God is ur best helper#bebo

ReplyDeleteWicked gal u didn't find reasons 2 continue living ? Rest in hell witch @ 25 ? ~ice princess~
ReplyDeleteSorry but how do dis fucking pple get depress, shu and take there lives. If u sad or wat not go on a trip fuck random mean and get it over with not taking ur life
ReplyDeleteMay God forgive us and give us strength when we are weak. This girl could have been a closeted drug user. In L. A a lot of girls in the West Hollywood scene are into that dark side. It's a well kept secret. Also, she could have been disillusioned about the band because mega sales does not necessarily mean mega money for the artist in most cases. Let's just pray and stay focused and remember, death does know looks, so for all those oohing and aahing about her looks, get a life and don't curse me, otherwise it's Ricocheting back on your heads. Let someone who has such thoughts in mind remember that Suicide is not the answer.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P

It takes bravery to battle depression or psychological cracks. Sometimes, wen one looks @ d disappointments life throw @ one, if one isn't strong emotionally enuf, d person might jst want 2 resort 2 suicide. One jst has 2b strong.
ReplyDeleteEyah,only God knws wht she was goin tru,may her soul rest in peace in Jesus name,amen!!
ReplyDeleteShe was sooo pretty and alluring....... Have never understood this thing called depressiion, if thousands of people in Borno dt hv been tru grusome pains and fears but yet they didn't resort to murder- why would a pretty American sweethrt with a blossoming career like you do???Just can't understand it!#cheEZyjayne
ReplyDeleteDevil is a liar! I see bright future wt ds beautiful soul,devil lied 2ha! What a waste! Well,at d end its all vanity! May her soul rest in peace. Amen!

ReplyDeleteN she is so pretty, too bad. Almost everyone go thru some form of depression, just yesterday i also dint av a reason to leave. Am jobless, unmarried
ReplyDeleteThe devil is a liar.
DeleteDear Friends, life is spiritual, choose life instead of death, dont allow the devil whisper into your ear, mess with your mind and tell you theres no reason for living. The devil didnt make life nor create you. It is God Almighty the creator of the beautiful heavens and earth, the One who made the lovely greens, alluring fountains, captivating birds and animals, that created YOU. Find your reason for living in HIM.

ReplyDeletewww.inandoutakute.com
It takes God it takes God....yes, but God wont necessarily come down from heaven to stop such a will...thats y he created us in his own image to be our brother's keeper and to be there for our fellow man in need. Its only nigeria someone commits suicide and we say he shld have turned to God..then why did God make us gods on earth but to support one anoda when issues arise.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beauty. Who knows the inner demons she was battling with. Depression mayb from complex, abuse, drugs, hearbrk. So sad.
ReplyDeleteSo sad mennnnh
ReplyDeleteTHE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS
ReplyDeletePastor T.D Jakes has a good book - "Woman Thou at Loosed". It is a very good read for people who have the blues, heaviness and gloom. Long before you can get to the point where you think there's nothing worht living for, help yourself. Open your mouth and speak to that depression, call it by its name and reject it, command it to leave and it will flee for the Lord has not given you a spirit of heaviness but a garment of praise.
Open your mouth therefore and praise! Sing praises to God. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, especially when you don't FEEL like it. Continue to sing and you will receive joy, you will receive strenght.
The joy of the Lord is my strenght!
- AE
Ehya, Satan is wicked oh
ReplyDeleteFor everyone of you that has judged this girl, that has been so cruel in your comments and shown the evil in your hearts, I have one wish for you - May depression come over you like a dark cloud. I hope you don't take your life but yes, I wish you feel what it is like to feel like you are better off dead. If that is what it takes for you to be a bit more human and not be quick to judge, then so be it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Robin Williams death teach us anything? We really need to take the stigma away from Depression and realize it is an illness.
ReplyDeleteObara jesus!
ReplyDeleteoyinbo can mumu too much.......person go just dey, death go dey hungry am........i taya oooooooo
