A 22-year old woman jumped to her death<\/a> from the George Washington Bridge on Wednesday night, leaving behind a note detailing the “friends” who had been upsetting her recently. <\/p>\n

In the note–which was left in her purse on the bridge’s walkway–Ashley Riggitano said that her friends were only interested in gossip and were “never there” for her in a real way. She also singled out a man she’d been in a relationship with who had treated her badly. The names of five women in her circle were given as those who should be banned from her funeral. <\/p>\n

Riggitano was reportedly on medication–including Adderall and Klonopin–and had attempted suicide before. A Facebook exchange which allegedly occurred between her and a woman named Alison Tinari is being singled out as a possible contributing factor in the suicide.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo try to kill yourself on Xanax again, you unstable loser. Go f–k yourself and never speak to me again,\u201d the post reportedly read.<\/a><\/p>\n

The other women have been identified by a source–but not confirmed–to be Teresa Castaldo, Beth Bassil, Victoria Van Thunen and Samantha Horneff. Van Thunen was a partner with Riggitano in a jewelry business<\/a> called Missfits<\/a>; the company’s Facebook page has come under scrutiny this week as supporters of Riggitano share their thoughts on what happened. <\/p>\n
