Demitra “Mimi” Roche who appeared on the Oxygen reality show “Bad Girls Club,” give up the ghost at the age of 34 on Wednesday, July 22,2020.
The sad announcement was made by Vince Valholla, the Record producer and founder of Valholla Entertainment in Miami, where Demitra “Mimi” Roche had worked as vice president of A&R since 2011 via Twitter.
Valholla wrote in his post:
“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 another tweet, Valholla said that Roche’s death was “out of the blue.” Her cause of death is currently unknown.
One of Roche’s friends, Ashley Colon, also paid tribute to her in 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.”
Roche is best known for appearing on season 8 of “Bad Girls Club” in 2012 after voluntarily leaving in season 9 and returning in season 10. The Oxygen reality show documented the drama of a group of women who live in the same mansion for four months. Roche’s nickname on the show was “The Miami Maverick.”
