Monalisa Stephen died on Wednesday, May 13th after battling low blood sugar and internal bleeding.
In 2022, Stephen opened up on her battle with diabetes after attempting suicide.
The plus-size movie star who often preaches about body positivity, recounted her sexual abuse and bullying which was also part of the reason she became suicidal.
That same year she posted a disturbing message on Instagram, hinting at suicidal thoughts.
“These moments before my departure, I feel more clarity than I have ever felt. Finally, I will be free. I will be free from the voices, from the pains, and from you,” she wrote.
Following the post, her management issued a statement clarifying that the note was written during one of her “down moments” and assured the public that she was receiving the help she needed.
