I can only imagine the pain that the poor little boy felt watching his parents battle over him and having to be handed over from one to the other at a police station because of the potential for violence between them. Sounds like a couple of immature adults who should have never had a child.

The man obviously wanted nothing to do with her, but still cared for their child. So since she couldn't get him, she got him back emotionally by killing both herself and their child. She's been planning that for a long time. She is a murderer. I'm sorry to say so, but it's the truth. It's the epitome of domestic violence.

Money runs out very quickly when you have an expensive lifestyle and legal bills to pay. She probably thought she made it when she married someone rich. Plenty of housewives in Manhattan live in fear of divorce and being replaced by a younger version. Many woman refuse to leave the work place despite marrying rich, because they are aware that courts now a days don't give alimony, they are expected to return to work.

She had the looks to continue making more money than the best Chiropractor in NYC.

Attractive Women have carte blanche in life. She could easily have gotten another Man even with child. Look at Cierra. She was even able to upgrade from a thug rapper to a Superbowl champion Mr. Nice Guy.

But clearly there was undiagnosed or concealed mental illness.

A couple of million Women would ironically risk death to be in her shoes.

Different type of woman. You can’t compare a 29-30 year old woman who comes from better background and celebrity to a 47 year old beauty pageant who seeked attention and took off her clothes for fame.

She suffered from mental illness. Why include all of the other elements that are merely speculation?

Exactly. Clearly she was mentally ill. Her actions were not normal behavior for someone with a healthy mind.

The motivation was different, but a very similar set of events happened in Harlem a few years ago. https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/201...officials-say/

Miraculously, the baby boy survived with only a scratch because the mother's body cradled him and protected him from harm. Yes, the mom did die.

Cierra is/was a well known musical artist. This former playmate jumper may be attractive but good looking woman are a dime a dozen in NYC (IMHO). Unless she had some well placed connections or real world job skills then her career outlook was probably dim.

Sounds like a case of a selfish women who realized she was going to lose her luxury lifestyle and have limited access her own child. I bet she knew jumping wouldn't phase her ex but taking the kid with her was one final act of revenge.
