Demitra “Mimi” Roche, a former cast member of the Oxygen reality show “Bad Girls Club,” has passed away at the age of 34.
The founder of Valholla Entertainment, a record producer in Miami where Roche served as vice president of A&R from 2011, broke the news of her passing on Twitter.
Expressing his grief, Valholla posted, “I’m at a loss for words. Don’t know what to say. Mimi was kind to everyone she came across. She was [a] big dreamer and was a part of our Valholla family. I’m heartbroken by the news of her passing. I’m thankful I got to know and work with her. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones.”
He added, “There’s probably not one person who would have something negative to say about her. We lost a beautiful soul.”
In a separate tweet, Valholla mentioned that Roche’s death came as a sudden shock. The cause of her death remains unknown at this time.
Ashley Colon, a close friend of Roche, also paid tribute to her on a Facebook post.
“Rest easy babygirl Demitra Roche,” she wrote. “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 too 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.”
Roché gained recognition for her appearance on season 8 of “Bad Girls Club” in 2012. The reality show by Oxygen documented the conflicts and interactions of a group of women residing in the same mansion for four months. Roche went by the moniker “The Miami Maverick” on the show.
