'Queen of Versailles' Victoria Siegel was cyberbullied right before death, it has been reported.
The Siegel family said that the ex-girlfriend of Victoria's boyfriend had been sending "hateful text messages" to Victoria, which probably pushed her over the edge and ultimately might have led to her death, TMZ.com has reported.
The family does not believe Victoria intended to kill herself because they were prepping for a family cruise, and Victoria rushed to get her passport in time for the trip. Instead, they're leaning toward an accidental overdose possibly triggered by the bullying.
It's unclear if the family has reached out to the ex-girlfriend. However, the Orange County Sheriff's Office stated that the girl was not part of their investigation into Victoria's death.
