She was 34 years old.
This tragic piece of news was confirmed on Wendesday night by music executive Vince Valholla.
“I’m at a loss for words,” he Tweeted.
“Don’t know what to say. Mimi was kind to everyone she came across.”
“She was [a] big dreamer & was a part of our Valholla family. I’m heartbroken by the news of her passing,” Vince added.
“I’m thankful I got to know & work w/ her. My thoughts are with her family & loved ones.”
“There’s probably not one person who would have something negative to say about her.”
Roche was named VP of artists and repertoire at Valholla Entertainment back in 2011.
Valholla concluded, simply and tragically:

“Rest Easy baby girl Demitra Roche,” Ashley Colon wrote on Facebook.
“I just wished you a happy birthday then the next day this is what I see.”
“2020 is def the year of appreciating your loved ones, hug them tight tell them you love them as life is clearly way to short.”
“Some of you may know her from Bad Girls Club but I knew the real her.”
“Such a sweet soul and with radiant energy so full of life. Gone [too] soon.”
Bad Girls Club originally aired on Oxygen in the United States.
It is a reality series that follows seven women’s dramatic confrontations with one another while living in a mansion for four months.
There have been four spin-offs of the programs, which was canceled after an impressed run in 2016.
