I just read that Latin music and TV star, Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash. I guess she was in a chartered plane taking off from Monterrey, Mexico after a concert when aviation authorities lost contact somewhere after 3:30am (shortly after takeoff on Sunday morning)…they found the wreckage yesterday afternoon. On board that plane was Jenni, her publicist, her lawyer, and makeup artist (all who appeared on her Mun2 reality show). So sad! She had just signed a deal with ABC this past Wednesday to star in her own sitcom, and now this…UGH. Breaks my heart. It’s like a true La Bamba story. She was destined to be a cross-over star. R.I.P. Jenni

Dying in a small plane crash seems to be an occupational hazard for the music industry.

That tends to happen when you overload a plane.

I’ve never heard of her, but that is sad.
The article makes her sound like a great person too.

Fear of flying is my biggest fear, for sure. Even though I had not heard of her, just imagining what her last moments of life were like makes me really sad.

RIP Jenni

The saddest part (to me) is the five children she leaves behind.

My prayers are with her family as they grieve this sudden and tragic loss.

I’d never heard of her either but it’s very sad. I feel badly for her family.

3x divorced grandma of 2/mother of 5. Supposedly one of her daughters was hitting on her latest husband. It was a fucked up family. She did not deserve to die.
