Rest in peace Victoria. Angela is really strong to share this.

Angela was my favorite MMA fighter. So sorry to hear about the pressure behind the scenes. That sounds dangerous to over train and starve yourself, I never considered that. Hopefully others can learn from this. God bless Angela you are loved.

Very brave of you for sharing....God Bless

[@marisoldiaz8260]

Just wish she wouldn’t interrupt so much

[@gaymwangi8367]

Great show and great subjects. But she should let her guests complete their thoughts without interrupting them.

[@magueysunset]

It's awesome that she's sharing like this. More content needs to bring awareness to realities of what people are dealing with inside. Resources and books are available, like the book 30 Days to Overcome Suicidal Thoughts by Harper Daniels or call lines or community centers.

[@BriaBarrows]

Prayers up to her. 🙏🏾

I'm just going to go right ahead and say it: I think Angela is protecting the people who are pressuring her to perform well. I don't believe it's only her pressuring herself to compete at the elite level. I truly think there are people she loves who are pressuring her to be the best and it to some extent contributed to her wanting to end her life.

[@FrdKal-Kal]

That's something common among Asian cultures. The pressure to succeed and follow a a certain path instead of your own. She must have felt she had no choices in her life. Very sad to think that way....she seems like she had a beautiful soul and very beautiful from the outside. May she be at peace.

[@judzbillmedina8484]

i hope angelas parent seeing this and realize whats happening to their family

[@carmenbertios6586]

There should be a trigger warning on this video

[@BriaBarrows]

I was looking for it

[@JohnCenaIsMyDad]

the trigger warning is in the title of the video, it tells you exactly what is going to be discussed

[@richard9970]

Or if you hear something you don't like, leave. It's crazy that a "trigger" warning is needed. How do you get by, outside? Life doesn't happen around you announcing "trigger" warnings all day long. With all due respect

[@PM-mm3pz]

Or be an adult you dolt

[@jamesfiaco4922]

The greatest aspects of martial arts teach how to raise their children in a manner that will quantify the chances of them growing up developing maturing into a strong confident healthy successful fun loving adult that can joyfully make their way through life as a (single or married)+ leading or simply just being a healthy happy productive part of a massive group which is society. And the majority of this can be accomplished in the first 10 years of life giving them a confidence that stems from the playful determination they had instinctively as a toddler or younger. Done in this manner that stability will only get stronger the older they get. I mean that's the way I challenge the soul and spirits of the heavenly father's most loyal subjects here in the physical for the right to exist eternally In the most efficient way that is possible. In layman's terms the world needs father's more than fighters fortunately done in the right way accomplishing both without missing a single heartbeat is possible.

[@AnGElHisPANo]

Beautiful Victoria, i wish she didnt do it but i guess it was ultimately her decision. She wont be the first one and last one to do it.

[@jamesfiaco4922]

The Year Of Skull & Bones: MMA Fighter Victoria Lee Dead At 18 Years Old (CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN???) So watch the video on KZbin and make a much more informed decision.

[@jamesfiaco4922]

What is not mentioned is the fact that when a person attempts to commit suicide did that urge stem from being genetically inherited? Generic synthetic desperate learned behavior? Or was it a spiritual challenge? Maybe a side effect of global pollution nowadays probably a combination of all combined into one. Either way she did not deal with it in a manner that would prevent any of this from being passed on to other family members. Equally as neglectful as she is not doing anything that would offset fully compensate and go beyond for all those years of missed opportunity what she is attempting to do is overlook and bypass what has been scientifically classified religiously verified. In layman's terms there was neglect prior during and after Victoria sadly it is still continuing which is not helping her much-needed spiritually sought after soul and spirit. According to the gods, goddesses, of the ancient Royal elite superior soldier, , bodyguard, messenger, the way of the warrior which is resolute acceptance of death

[@krimsonedit3272]

Who?

[@trashmesoftsoft]

Parents almost pushed two daughters to death? Only succeeded in 1, so shameful?
