Former Contestant in Miss Jamaica Universe Tyra Spaulding Found Dead
Jesus Christ! How can a woman as beautiful, educated, and talented as Tyra take her own life? You’ve got to be dreaming! She was crying out on social media, saying a voice told her to jump off a bridge. Where was the church? How many church people heard her say that — knowing it was a demon speaking to her — and yet never responded to her cry?
No, let me tell you. In the church’s eyes, Tyra was too beautiful and brilliant, so she needed to “humble herself” and come to the house of the Lord. That’s how some church people treat those with purpose — with judgment instead of compassion.
Oh God! What must have been her path, for her to feel the need to take her own life? Sister girl, instead of sitting alone crying and feeling like no one cared, you could have gotten up and visited a retirement home or a children’s hospital. Instead, you stayed on social media hosting a pity party so long that you gave the devil room to play football in your mind.
My mother would say, “The devil gives idle hands something to do.” What has gone wrong with women these days, that so many are killing themselves? Come now — I may sound harsh — but who in their right mind kills themselves? Sister girl, I love myself too much for that.
She could’ve picked up a paintbrush, some paint, and cardboard and created something. Grabbed a pen and written about how she felt no longer being a beauty queen. Anything but this.
I told someone recently, life comes with a price. All the fame some of you are chasing has a price tag. Will you still have peace of mind when the lights go out and no one’s looking? Can you still stand up and say, “Hello, I am me — to hell with everyone else who wants me to conform to their feeble standards”?
Slip on a batty rider, turn on some Spice, and dance it out. I won’t even say “go to church,” because sometimes that’s its own suicidal ground — where people sit on your name, condemn, and reject you just for having ambition. Don’t kill yourself.
It’s too foolish to look in the mirror and hurt yourself. No, Jesus! These women have lost it. Why do you give people so much room in your space to tell you how to live your life? Just live a life that says, “To hell with you.”
I thank God for that mental health experience in 2018, when the Cayman Government tried to killed me — they held me against my will just because someone saw me worshipping God in public and called 911. All because of jealousy over my progress and my studies in Naturopathic Medicine. Sister girl, I saw no one but my children fighting to say, “Mommy is not crazy!” Those dirty doctors tried to pollute my children’s minds, but I’m not worried — they have children too. Wait and see.
I didn’t see a church, a pastor, or anyone from the community step forward to cry for mercy for me. So who the blue sky is going to make me, Lovely Lovell Marriott, the queen, kill myself? You’ve got to be dreaming!
Stay true to yourself.
