When I received the news of Frankie Albernathy passing I wanted to be sure it was valid as this was erroneously reported before as can be seen on her website - http://www.frankieabernathy.tk/

I had alerted MTV & Bunim-Murray Productions to this news so they may verify and reach out to her as the MM Agency has not worked with her previously.

Once validated I texted the entire Real World San Diego cast to the news as Frankie purposely did not provide any of her contact information to the cast.

Brad Fiorenza & Jamie Chung responded sadly that they wanted her address to which they wanted to send flowers and their condolences.

Jacquese Smith was the most emotional and also incredulous at first when I told him, as previous reports turned out false, but there was unfortunately evidence this time to the contrary.

The following is what he told MTV:

“My heart started beating real fast and my stomach dropped — I just felt it, that it was serious this time, because it came from such a credible source,” he explained. “This person wouldn’t have texted me if he thought it was just another rumor. When you share something with somebody, and you have a common bond with someone, when something happens, you can kind of feel it. And I just knew, but I wasn’t didn’t want to accept it.

“I was just in shock,” Smith continued. “It really didn’t hit me until I finally said the words out loud. I had called my mom and told her that it was true, and it wasn’t until I started to talk about it that I got really upset about it.”

“I’ve been beating myself up over this, because I hadn’t spoken with her in so long,” he explained. “We haven’t really talked to one another in so long, so it’s kind of like we lost her and now we’re re-establishing our friendships and appreciating what we have with one another and taking full advantage of it. We’re kind of doing what she would want us to do. It’s just sad that this was the reason why we’ve gotten back in touch. At the end of the day, I know she knows I loved her.”

MTV has confirmed that Frankie Abernathy from the Real World San Diego cast has died on Saturday June 9th in the evening while being with her mother, Abbie Hunter, at her home in Shorewood, Wisconsin.

Frankie had moved to Wisconsin last fall with her family where she was designing purses using old vinyl records.

Services will be held Saturday morning in Blue Springs, Missouri, and her mother said a scholarship fund has been established in Frankie’s name at Blue Springs High School, Frankie’s alma mater.

In lieu of flowers, fans can send donations to the Frankie Abernathy Scholarship Fund, c/o Jackie Langston, 1205 NW Roanoke Drive, Blue Springs, MO, 64015.

“It was very sudden,” her mother said. “It wasn’t something that was expected. She was doing fine, and we really don’t know very much yet. It still was kind of a shock, and it just wasn’t how we figured things would go. It seems like her little body just gave out.”

“It was a day-by-day thing,” Hunter said. “Some days she felt good, and some days she felt bad. We were kind of hoping to get her [on a list] to see if she would qualify for a lung transplant, because the disease does get progressively worse. In the winter, most [people with cystic fibrosis] usually have a rough patch, and she had a rough patch this year. She had been sick more this last year than she’d ever been in the past. I am very grateful that it was very quick for her. It certainly made it hard for the survivors. She’s just our little girl.”

“Her experience on ‘The Real World’ taught her about what she needed to do, and it helped other people as well,” Hunter said. “I know several people weren’t aware of the cutting epidemic at the time and I know several people wrote Frankie and thanked her. She was a different person for ‘The Real World’ realm, and I think she touched a lot of people and made an impact on a lot of people’s lives. That’s what you want when you have a child — you hope they do that. I wish it had been in a different way, but I am proud of her, and as I said, she got a lot of personal growth out of her experience, and she was very fortunate to have had the experiences she did.”

Frankie Abernathy from MTVs Real World San Diego is reported to have succumbed to her hereditary disease of Cystic Fibrosis, Mucoviscidosis, as she passed away recently at the age of 25 as reported by The Pitch in Kansas City.

The information of her death was provided to The Pitch by people within the firm Barkley where her father worked as an ad executive.

Frankie showed signs of Cystic Fibrosis during the filming of The Real World San Diego which caused her difficulty in breathing and lowered her immune system.

Cystic Fibrosis Research states that 1 in 3,900 American children are born with this disease and that not even half survive to the age of 37.

Frankie Abernathy was born on December 21st, 1981 and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri which is less than 20 miles away from Kansas City.

She was the punk rocker of The Real World San Diego cast and abruptly left the show on Halloween in 2003.

Bunim-Murray Productions and MTV have no comment at this time - MTV made the announcement on Tuesday June 12th.
