Tributes have poured in for Hana Kimura, the late Terrace House star and wrestler, who passed away this week at the tragically young age of 22.
It is alleged that she suffered abuse online prior to her death, and retired professional wrestler Mick Foley took to Twitter to say:
“Hana Kimura was 22. Please let that sink in … 22. She had her whole life in front of her. Online bullying should not be part of life. It damn sure should not be part of death.”
