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.”
