Social media is abuzz with shocking news that former Miss SA finalist, Vanessa Chidimma Adetshina, allegedly attempted to take her own life following her withdrawal from the Miss SA competition. The 23-year-old Nigerian model and student reportedly made the drastic decision after facing relentless online bullying.
The incident was first reported by a Twitter (X) user, who shared that Chidimma, unable to cope with the harassment she endured both online and offline, allegedly tried to end her life. The post reads: “It has been reported that Chidimma Onwe Adetshina made a desperate attempt to end her life. This was a result of both online and offline bullying about her participation in the just concluded Miss South Africa 2024.”
Chidimma’s withdrawal from the competition has been a topic of heated debate on social media, with many netizens expressing mixed reactions to the news. Some have shown sympathy for the young woman, while others have criticized her decision to participate in the first place.
One user, @Miz_Ruraltarain, wrote: “Victim Chichiboya looking for our sympathy while some black South African girl had to survive 23 years without identity. Whatever makes her think she is special… that you can steal someone’s life and continue.”
Another user, @iamauxigen, tried to offer encouragement: “This phase shall pass and she will come back stronger. I guess those South Africans who drove her to this point are really partying and having all the fun now.”
Others took a more empathetic stance. @Kaycee4realz commented: “Chidimma, these are trying moments for you and all your loved ones. You’re not ALONE. Never ever give up. Your future is brighter and will be strumming. Believe me, you will be celebrated.”
However, not all responses were supportive. Some netizens blamed Chidimma’s family for allowing her to enter the competition in the first place. @okjabu said, “I blame her mother; why put your child through such?”
The situation has sparked widespread concern over the impact of cyberbullying and the intense pressure faced by young women in the public eye. As the story continues to unfold, many are calling for more compassionate and supportive dialogue online to prevent such tragedies in the future.
For now, the Miss SA organization and Chidimma’s representatives have not issued an official statement regarding the incident. The young model’s fans and supporters are hoping for her recovery and resilience in the face of such adversity.
