She flew too close to the sun.
That’s a shame, watched her on the tube. She lived her passion. RIP

She was a tough chick. Balls to the wall is not a bad way to go out of this world.

She was a badass with a ton of talent. I'll miss seeing her on various shows and reading about the different projects she was in to. A very big loss to her family, friends and the motorsports community.

Very sad turn of events. But she went out doing what she loved, so that should count for something. I never knew about her other activities outside of TV, but when I would watch her, I always felt she came from a place of experience. She wasn't just a pretty face. I would actually learn something when I watched her shows, which is about as big of a compliment I could give anyone I know primarily for their work on TV.

No matter what show Jessi was on she always came across as the smartest of the bunch. She will be sorely missed. May she Rest In Peace.

I also had no idea she was "the fastest woman on earth" before this. She gave me the same "experienced" vibe from TV.

Preliminary info....we all await an official news release:

https://popculture.com/celebrity/201...dent-revealed/

According to The Blast, Combs was attempting to break her previous land-speed record when the jet-propelled vehicle she was traveling in failed to properly stop. This resulted in the car speeding past the safe area and crashing.

Sources have told The Blast that the vehicle was traveling at an extremely high speed when it failed to stop, resulting in a car accident that was "equivalent to an airplane crash."
