Jackie Siegel, the star of The Queen of Versailles, is grieving yet another heartbreaking loss. Just days after the death of her husband, David Siegel, Jackie has tragically lost her sister, Jessica Mallery, who died from an accidental drug overdose. Jessica, aged 43, passed away on Monday after consuming cocaine laced with fentanyl.
In a statement to TMZ, Jackie expressed the immense pain of losing her sister: “My world was shattered again.” She described her sister’s death as “another stark reminder of the drug epidemic and fentanyl crisis plaguing our country,” emphasizing the urgent need to address substance abuse to prevent further loss of life.
The devastating loss comes on the heels of the death of her husband, David Siegel, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 89. Jackie had already been grappling with grief when she was struck by the news of her sister’s sudden passing.
This is not the first time Jackie has been affected by the opioid crisis. In 2015, her daughter, Victoria, tragically died from a drug overdose at the age of 18. The family has experienced the deep pain of addiction’s toll, and Jackie’s message is one of both sorrow and advocacy, urging action against the rising wave of substance abuse.
Jackie has been outspoken about the devastation that drugs have caused in her life, and her sister’s death serves as another painful chapter in a series of personal tragedies. Rest in peace, Jessica Mallery.
