Yesterday, Miss America 2019 winner and 30-year-old attorney Cheslie Kryst committed suicide after she jumped from the 60-story Orion building in New York City and was found dead on the street below.
Cheslie lived on the ninth floor of the building – so she took the elevator to the public rooftop on the 29th floor, MTO News learned, and jumped to her death.
Cheslie is a former Miss North Carolina who won the crown at Miss USA 2019, wearing a sparkly outfit for the National Costume competition, a nod to “I Know Why the Caged BIrd Sings ” by Maya Angelou.

So what happened that could push such a smart and beautiful woman to take her own life? According to someone who knows Cheslie – it was a personal struggle with her sex and career struggles, MTO News has learned.
According to the person we spoke to, Cheslie is having a career crisis. Many of her childhood friends and family wanted her to pursue a career as a lawyer, instead of being a “reporter” for Extra, a job that didn’t pay well. And according to our insider, the struggle over what to do with her career, “weighed heavily on her.”
Additionally, insiders claim that Cheslie is believed to be a member of the LGBTQ+ group – and possibly a closed lesbian. Insiders believe that Chelsea – who is very religious – is having a hard time coming out with her gender.
The day before she danced, Cheslie wrote on her Instagram page, “May this day bring you rest and peace.”
