Gina Krasley, known to reality TV viewers as the new star of TLC’s “My 600-lb Life,” has died. She was 30 years old.
Her official cause of death has not been announced, but she passed away Sunday at her home in Tuckerton, N.J., “surrounded by her loving family” at the time, according to her obituary.
Krasley joined the TLC series in 2020 — which chronicles the lives of obese people undergoing gastric bypass surgeries — and was featured in an episode presciently titled “Time Is Running Our For Gina,” which has nearly 1 million views on YouTube.
“My life’s been hard,” Krasley admitted in the heartrending introduction to the clip. “…I always felt my entire life like I was just pushed under the rug.”
She had recently posted social media videos about health struggles that had rendered her immobile with severe pain in her extremities.
“‘I remember what made me forget the pain of being abandoned was eating — and by the time I was 10, I was already over 150 pounds,” Krasley once said on the TLC show.
By 14, she weighed more than 300 pounds, yet she continued to turn to food as an “escape,” she said. “As I was getting closer to 500 pounds, it started to get harder to do things.”

Another Covid death proving its dangerous to anyone and everyone and we must all wear masks and buy from Amazon, use Facebook, Microsoft and Google software to meet as we stay home forever.
Either a motorcycle accident or COVID. We should flip a coin. Might land on its edge.
Gonna take a crane to get her out.
Covid, the Russians, or possibly Trump to blame
Huh. Big rug.
It says cause of death not determined. 600 pounds could do that.
Rest in peace Gina.
Yes, I suppose things would get a harder at 5oo pounds hanging off of you.
What a tragic story. I don't know anything more than what is posted, but for the love of God wasn't there someone who reached out to this woman with the Good News?
Or suicide
There's no such thing as obesity anymore. Today, it's "body-positivity" and is perfectly healthy.
Cosmo tells us so.
I’ve always wanted to see a reality show where obese people are sent to someplace like Bangladesh to work on a rice farm or sugar-cane plantation for 1 year.
those who managed to come out the other side would be absolutely transformed.
Wow. I used to live on Green Street in Tuckerton. Nice little town back then.
It'll have been a breeze more than likely compared to eternity
“My life’s been hard”
*****
Make better choices.
There is usual mental issues with these persons, and/or sexual abuse issues.
Have you no humanity ? ..... Think of the Earth’s crust !
Pretty damn big rug......
“...She is survived by her mother, Cathy Devereux; her wife of six years, Elizabeth Krasley...”
RIP
