However, shortly before it was reported that she had passed, individuals took notice of a series of alarming tweets โ which has been deleted โ that the Terrace House star posted that appeared to indicate that she was struggling after dealing with hatred from users online. She wrote, “Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. I’m dead. Thank you for giving me a mother. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I’m weak. I’m sorry. I don’t want to be a human anymore. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you everyone, I love you. Bye.”

A Role Model
I am heartbroken hearing how the world has lost a kindsoul in Hana Kimura. Last year when I discovered Stardom I was captivated by her work and uniqueness. She was also role model for me when I was fighting body image issues and I will be forever thankful of thatโฅ๏ธ#RIPHanaKimura pic.twitter.com/vDAq67Lv8D

Take Note
This is the face of 22 year old Hana Kimura. Unfortunately Hana took her own life because people felt big & brave behind their keyboard.
