The modelling industry is wicked. They pluck the youngest most naive and then after abusing them, they are disgarded as they grow older and self aware.

Being beautiful’s main curse is feeling like you’ll never be loved, because being beautiful is something that men seem to be blinded by, and end up treating you more like an accessory rather than a human with a heart. I still think she was killed, but her depression for feeling like she’ll never find love will forever resonate with me. She deserved to be treated better her angelic energy radiates through her pictures. r.i.p to this beautiful fairy 🧚🏻‍♀️

main problem in this story: men

I remember when she died, I was about 15 yo and in my room I had a poster of her Nina Ricci campaign...I didn't know her but her story was so sad it really affected me RIP to this beauty and icon. I hope her family and friends have found peace after this terrible loss

One day, I hope Vlada (Roslyakova) does an interview on her friendship with Ruslana. I wonder what she thinks happened and to hear her perspective on the modelling world. Controversial opinion but I think Ruslana was murdered. RIP beautiful girl.

There should be an age standard globally as to when people are allowed to model in any industry. The horror these children/young people go through is not okay. Clearly she was used and abused by disgusting dirty men who then blocked her career chances.

Imagine being as stunning as she was, yet the modeling industry doesn't want you anymore.. wild. I wish she had stayed in school. Clearly was a smart woman being fluent in so many languages.

I was in college at that time, at Pace Uni a few blocks away staying in the dorms on fulton. I was walking down the street and watched her body hit the ground from about a block away. I didn't know who she was, just saw her splayed out, and found out later on. I was traumatized. It was a horribly hot summer day, sort of a still, totally oppressive heat. Eerie.

She was an angel who lived a hell on earth. May she be in a better place now

She's a victim in Epstein island saga

Apparently she was flown to Epstein Island 2 years before she lept. 😢

I know what it’s like being used by men and being seen as an object! It’s heartbreaking! A beauty like that might have gone through 10X worse! It sucks how women are treated

Yil... your voice and presentation are nothing less than AMAZING. Your gentleness is what this story needed. This innocent child would still be here had she decided on university instead of modeling. She wasn't even 21...my god. It's a horrible tragedy whether suicide or murder... she's not here anymore. She just wanted to be LOVED. She didn't understand that those wealthy men had no intention of marrying her. A broken 💔 heart at that age is very traumatizing. Yes, her face and body were flawlessly beautiful, but her HEART ♥ and SOUL were so much more beautiful. Her poor mother... I don't know how she managed. The fashion world ONLY CARES ABOUT "MONEY 💵!!" I wish I could rewing time and tell her, "NO Ruslana... go home to your mother and brother; then go to university in Germany. You don't have to search for love...it will find you." And the other model, as well. That "Rose Cult" made her situation worse. AND who knows what happened on epstein's island?!

Shes gorgeous. This is so sad..i wouldnt or couldn't leave my child by herself to model knowing theres so much predators out her grooming young girls...its nyc hell nooo

Captions are available in the settings. Let me know in the comments what you think about Ruslana's story, if you remember her Nina Ricci ad campaign, who your favourite models are and if you've ever dreamt of becoming a model yourself (or maybe you've had experience with that world)!

So sad I hope she finds peace it’s so sad her mother was so right , I can’t imagine the sadness and regret her mother must have felt

Since there is a line of people why werent they question about Jef E? Seems everyone knew him... this girl was fed to him.

I love your voice omg its so calming 😭❤️

your video is the most informative i’ve seen about her, good job, may her soul rest

She was very beautiful poor girl.

such a great video essay, inspired my for an upcomiung article im planing to write. Much love from germany

I'm sorry to hear she passed. You hear messages telling women not to dull their light, but sadly the darkest people can be attracted to you when you shine bright. The modeling industry attracts darkness and perpetuates harsh standards for weight/height/etc. but in this case it's the opportunistic men and the cult to blame.

If you not a nepo baby or a famous influencer with millions of follower, the way to get in a successfull long life as a model is hard. Agency often take the nepo baby insted of a professional model with more experience and better walk. They know, if the parents show up, they have the free publicity. Otherwise, Leni Klum and Lilly Rose Depp are never bookt on so huge brands like Chanel.

So sad, thank you for sharing her story

Yes, she died from the fall. But, whose to say if she jumped or was Physically thrown out the window. I am going with the 2nd option. She was owed quite a sum of money from one of those New York agencies. To the point she was suing. Does not appear to me she was living the life of luxury in that apartment. So where is her money? She should of had millions in a bank account her face was on covers of magazines, advertisements and run way walks.

She deserved so much better than this, I wish she had known how loveable she was, and i hope all who abused her rot in jail or live in misery. RIP Ruslana...

I was supposed to be a child model. I was sexually assaulted twice as a child & all through my adult life. I rejected being a model. The industry is corrupt. Young women are used & abused. This woman’s tragedy of being used up for being soft, kind, beautiful & caring really is heartbreaking. The industry silences sexual abuse. I became disgusted that I even had a body. I took to self harming because it got out the pain that was inconsolable. I was tired of being sexualised all the time. Some things are hard to recover from. I think her story really resonates with other girls that have been abused.🖤😢

I love all your videos

It’s obvious a powerful man who couldn’t have her took her out- that happens more often than you think. Women like her don’t kill themselves, that’s what you want to think so you feel better about yourselves

She was also Kazakh rapunzel) Kazakh people love her too

Underrated channel fr :))

She was stunning..I always look at her when I need to see truly beauty. She would be best Sansa Stark by the way, I wish she would be alive😭

🌺 “Don't follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you.” 🌺💐🌺

Mother knows best sometimes the truth hurts it's for our own well-being..It was difficult because she did not have the mental capacity to break away and move on she was young and vulnerable...May she rip and her family find solace

She's the greatest to ever grace the industry

Wait pause..🤚she goes to a private island and meets Epstein?.they didnt say that in the interview

Me foi recomendado este canal recentemente, estou impressionada com o seu talento para o jornalismo investigativo. Já tinha visto outros documentários sobre a Ruslana, mas este é o melhor. Pude conhecer-lá melhor e entende-lá. Foi muito sensível a forma que você nos apresentou a Ruslana. Veio em um momento propício, eu estou pensando em modelar.😙 Beijos e desejo muito sucesso para você.😙

i love your voice

Brrrooooo hearing this is so painful she seemed so innocent and that innocence was stripped out of her

Who knows what really happened. So scary and sad

Her mother was very intuitive she knew the end of the path her daughter would take hence she reminded her of the proverb! So sad, sometimes it’s wise to listen our parents counsel and gut instincts. Not everything we want is meant for us.

Cool channel.

The Epstein connection should be looked into.

R.I.P Ruslana. ❤

"Men sleep with the woman in the photograph, not you" That hit hard. 😢

RIP Ruslana 🕯🥀...so sad that i can´t believe it!

0:10 is the walk of dreams.

the fact she cut her hair before jumping is so upsetting...

Cults always destroy people in one way or another.

This model went to the Epstein island, so this explains a lot

I feel movie tangled (2010) came true reality of Ruslana, only TRUTH is with her for what truly happens, I remember that commercial 🍎 reach, 🏝️

Her mother probably cannot forgive herself that she agreed to that contract, her intuition was right, she felt her baby should not leavd

What a lovely voice the narrator has in this video some of them are so ill-spoken that it puts me off watching the video but not here

I personally don't think it's a murder or something. Just a depression :(

cara, é tao estranho uma mulher bonita, que trabalhava com a beleza escolher se jogar da sacada, não é impossível, só é bem suspeito, fui saber esses dias que ela foi convidada q ilha do Epstein bem bizarro, oq fizeram com ela la ou o que ela fez? eu acredito que tenham perseguido ela!

I heard that IMG stole millions of dollars from her before her mother could sue she died I'm not sure if this true

These kind of cults should be banned

What eye condition did Ruslana have that kept her eyes shiny?

✨

Prince Andrew enters

So sad

Epstein…

Ruslana's hair being cut is something a woman would do. Were the police thorough?

Miss her wish i could marry her

She was murdered Rest In Peace i wonder what she knew 😢

I’m sorry for looking into ur eyes without permission

so sad

😞

poor girl..

You have beauty, wealth and intelligence - what is left? I apologize, but I believe that stating that women like her do not kill themselves is the most idiotic and narcissistic affirmation people can make. You are grown to be convinced that nothing matters, have an imenssive belief that your father's absence is yours to blame and is used by different men for your looks. There is a whole void there. Of course we can give credit to everything that there is to discuss (the whole involvement of JE and cult reliance). But I just regard we can give credit to the idea that she inalived herself and maintain a little respect for this matter.

She died because suicide @ killed😢

Suuurrreee because you've been a model right?

Why is the editing so odd?

P

To become a model is to objectify yourself.

So sad
