The “Bad Girls Club” mourns one of their own.
On Friday, the Oxygen network confirmed that Linsey “Jade” Berardi, who appeared on the show’s 12th season, died at 23.
“Yesterday, we read rumors that Linsey ‘Jade’ Berardi from BGC12 had passed away,” read a post on the BGC blog on Oxygen’s website. “Today, we confirmed with her family that this sad news is true…In lieu of flowers, her family asks any donations be sent to animal shelters. Linsey was a lifetime animal lover and passionate advocate.”
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Linsey ‘Jade’ Berardi…Our deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts go out to her family, friends and fans,” a rep for Oxygen added in a statement. However no further details surrounding her cause of death has been disclosed.
Jade, also dubbed “The Brooklyn Brat,” left the reality series during the season’s second episode after she was involved in a fight with cast mate Jada Cacchilli. A number of BGC stars shred their condolences via social media…
Omg RIP Linsey…. Such sad news. #BGC12 @Misslinseyjade
