She also gave a shoutout to producer Dan Nigro, and thanked “everyone who has embraced [her] 17 year old lamentations and forever changed [her] life in the process”.A post shared by Olivia Rodrigo (@oliviarodrigo)‘Sour’ was released on May 21, 2021 via Geffen, flanked her breakout hit ‘Driver’s License’, as well as singles ‘Deja Vu’, ‘Good 4 U’, ‘Brutal’ and ‘Traitor’.

Cheslie Kryst’s mother, April Simpkins, is opening up about her daughter’s longtime battle with depression and death on Jan. 30. In the latest episode of “Red Table Talk“, April and her husband, David, sat down for their first interview after their daughter’s death, discussing her final words and the legacy she’s left behind.
Cheslie was born in Jackson, Michigan, and graduated with honours from the University of South Carolina. She later graduated with degrees from the Darla Moore School of Business and Wake Forest University School of Law. She won the title of Miss USA in 2019, later becoming a TV correspondent at Extra and an activist who used her platform as the winner to speak out on social justice issues and bring light to causes that she felt passionate about.
“She truly was my best friend,” April said, looking back on her relationship with her daughter. “She was the first person I talked to when I woke up – we would go about our mornings FaceTiming each other. She would be putting on her makeup and I would be getting ready at my desk. To not have that makes mornings awful for me. I don’t know that I will get over the grief, I’m trying to accept that grief and I will do life together.”
The mother of six explained that Cheslie “always sought to do better” and would often play spokesperson for her younger siblings. “I think what shocked so many people is that when you see her on TV, you see her on TikTok and Instagram, she’s smiling, she’s bubbly. And that’s Cheslie,” she shared. “But Cheslie was also battling depression, which she hid.”
April explained that although she had known her daughter was suffering from depression, she didn’t understand the severity. She revealed that Cheslie attempted suicide once before
