Somebody sure was all wrapped up in herself, wasn’t she? Oh well, at least she left a good looking corpse.
About a month earlier, Riggitano initiated an ugly, two-day exchange with Tinari that led to the Xanax suicide comment.
The fight stemmed from Tinari’s ongoing friendship with Riggitano’s boyfriend, aspiring race-car driver Drew Heissenbuttel.

“It’s really horrible what happened. I feel really bad for her family. It’s crazy. I feel really bad for her. I never went after her; she went after me,” a remorseful Tinari told The Post yesterday, adding that she didn’t even know Riggitano before the exchange.
If her doctor had given her more drugs this probably wouldn’t have happened.

Ashley started her own business called The Missfits where she hand crafted jewelry made out of semi precious gemstones with her best friend Victoria Van Thunen. “We are two Jersey girls who grew up one poof of Tinkerbell’s fairy dust from culturally rich NYC,” the Missfits Web site reads. “And although we hail from the Garden State, it is Manhattan that we will always call home.”
Girls' fight: Riggitano was angry after the ongoing friendship between Tinari and her boyfriend, Drew Heissenbuttel, and accused her rival of using him for money
MIssfits? hehhh, good name for the outfit.

If nobody else will pray for her and her family, I will. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may eternal light shine shine upon her. By the mercy of God, may her soul rest in peace. Amen.
Facebook kills...Facebook is EEEVIL...
Online spat: Victoria Van Thunen, left, and Riggitano, right, exchanged angry words on Facebook
In early January, Riggitano had a two-day Facebook spat with Tinari over her friendship with the jewellery designer’s boyfriend, aspiring race car driver Drew Heissenbuttel.
On Thursday, Tinari told The Post that the 22-year-old was harassing her online via private Facebook messages. She added that Riggitano was not her friend, and she told the woman to leave her alone.
'The only thing I’m ashamed of is what I said about her overdosing on Xanax. I shouldn’t have said that,' Tinari conceded.
In a message sent between January 8 and 9, Riggitano responded to the suicide comment by writing: 'Thats called a threat, and a suicidal threat the police dont take that lightly since the boy in ridgewood killed because of someones words.'
In her missive, Riggitano went on to say that there are laws agaisnt bullying and Tinari should have 'checked that out' before making her remarks.
The feud between the young women, who according to Tinari didn't know each other before the exchange, started when Riggitano sent her a rambling rant the goal of which was to get Tinari to stay away from Drew Heissenbuttel.
The message cited by The Post read in part: 'since drew cannot take care of the issue at hand, I will. You have been nothing but a bitch to me every time you walked in the door ignoring my existence maybe because you were so concerned with picking up your drugs...
'Everyone who has spoken to me when i came into the picture told me all about you and his friends had nothing good to say except you used Drew for his money.'
I can’t even guess what demons were inside her head but I do know that the NY fashion industry is as brutal and catty as you can get in the adult world. A thick skin is a prerequisite.
Woo recalled that early last month, Riggitano was supposed to take part on a major trade show that the design house was participating in, but called in sick. A short time later, she took another sick day.
According to the jewelry designer, Riggitano began working for the company on a part-time basis in January, and was only at work about two days a week.

Someone should say this, so I will: What an absolute shame. How Godawful that someone that young should feel so bad over something so ultimately trivial that they kill themselves.
A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Sorry folks but I cannot find any humour in the the death of such a young person.
It pains me to think that this young woman, on a momentary fit of outburst, threw away everything she might have been..
Who she might have loved...
Whose who loved her...
Was her life so painful or so empty that it was no longer worth living?
Or is this generation so shallow (What the hell is a fashionista?) that it cannot bear the slightest of injury to their ego.
Maybe this is the result of praising every child as "special" even when they are just average.
Raising their expectations beyond their ability(or willingness) to achieve their unreal dreams.
And when life doesn't recognize their uniqueness they go on an rampage or commit suicide.
I fear this is the bitter harvest of sowing our seeds on sour ground....
I was raised in a loving and supportive home but I was also tampered with the reality of life.
Very little "poof of Tinkerbell’s fairy dust” from culturally rich NYC but with hard work and dirty sweat on deep rich, Tennessee soil.
I pray she finds the peace in death that eluded her in life.....
