THE FORMER personal assistant to supermodel Naomi Campbell has leapt off a bridge to her death. Celebrity stylist and personal shopper Jade Bien-Aimee Sutherland was found dead under London's Albert Bridge on the shore of the Thames river near her home in Battersea, South London.
The 28-year-old was seen sobbing on the streets of Los Angeles last year after a fight with Campbell caused her to quit her job as the catwalk model's assistant.
Caribbean-born Sutherland - who was born a boy but underwent a sex-change - was said to have been devastated after the death from pneumonia of her "soulmate" Andrew Richardson, 24, who died just ten days before her suicide.
In an email to friends she wrote: "He's now gone, I'm all alone, my heart is empty, my life is empty. I don't think life's worth living after losing a close one."
Sharon and Kelly Osbourne and Anne Robinson, host of TV game show Weakest Link, were among hundreds of mourners at Sutherland's funeral in London's Piccadilly.

For an example, during sexual intercourse they cry most, they dont carry babies for 9 months, they dont feel the pain of delivery a baby. The men are in charge of everything. Afterall, we should be proud of who we are. I also want to advice those who carry out those operations that they will be also answerable to God. He created Jade as a man, so this Jade was never satisfied of what God made him to be. Whoever was sleeping with him was a nuisance. I wonder is he was enjoying that wound?

Better dead than gay!
