Her mom was(/is) truly heart-broken....

She denied that Ryan was anything but a great and loving guy. It was that Gia got extremely insecure from time to time.
She would look for fault in people just to find a reason to push them away, because she feared that they are going to abandon her anyway.
Gia had a very strained relationship with her father and apparently this also contributed to her abandonment issues.

There was an incident before she was even on TB where she took a bunch of pills after a bad break-up....

She also said that Gia was not all-around depressed but rather it was because of her menstruation cycle (this was a bit weird IMO ....She really believed that that's where her issues stemmed from and not from severe depression.) She was not seeing anybody at the time of her death nor was she talking anti-depressants, but people closest to her (namely her and Ryan) were very supportive of her and tried to talk her into therapy.

She thinks that Gia planned this beforehand, she tried to drive away Ryan by picking a fight and sent him away, so he wouldn't be around and afterwards proceeded to call her to say good-bye...

She also said that Ryan planned to propose to Gia but she just kept thinking that he is going to abandon her anyway and she never wanted to be left behind ever again...

Her and Ryan talk every day and they want to make a foundation, which is in the works, to help other girls with similar issues.
-
Then Jake was on and he seemed really genuine in his sadness, he wanted to be respectful to Ryan and did not take Dr. Phil's bait to talk about his feelings for her. (He has been saying it for years that Gia was the person he should have picked and the one for whom he has developed real feelings)
He was at her funeral and he also put a box of mints into her casket that she had given him on the Bachelor and that he carried everywhere with him, and she didn’t know he had even kept them.
-
So terribly horrid the whole incident...

I had recorded this and just watched it. I think that you did a really good job here of describing what was said during this interview, and I can't really add anything to it. Basically, no one but Gia truly knows why she chose to take her own life on that particular day. And that is what is so sad about suicide. Gia's death is just a tragic and senseless loss for all those who loved her.

Thanks, Chloep, for the summary of the show.

Wow...that is serious stuff. Nothing like going on show(s) like the Bachelor and Bachelor Pad to help you "cope" with your abandonment issues, huh?! If I was her family the minute I heard she was even considering doing any of these shows I would have stop her. So sad no no

I appreciate those who caught the show, and the synopsis chloep... I am sorry I missed it, hopefully I can catch if on another round.

I heard the sad news yesterday that an 11 year old girl that went missing Monday evening when she "did not return from school" was found on Tuesday afternoon dead from an apparent suicide at an abandoned concrete plant. this child had been bullied this past year and although she was good on the outside according to mom and friends, apparently was still so very broken on the inside. my heart breaks for these who think that their only answer to their pain is to leave this world. my prayer for Gia and those who have traveled that road is that God has wrapped them tight against his chest, giving them that sense of peace and belonging that they so longed for.

l thought this was a nice suggestion and thoughtful of ABC. Just went to ABC to check for any updates and it seems the they have a small dedication to Gia called Remembering Gia Allemand (beautiful pic of Gia)

It sounds like it is going to be a show that deals with some of the issues that must have plagued her daughter throughout her life. Gia's death was such a tragedy. I am sure that her mother is trying to bring awareness to others, in hopes of preventing this from happening to their loved ones. I just hope that Dr. Phil will handle this delicately though, because he doesn't always do that. So, I will be recording his show to watch later.

I was rather appalled by Gia's mother - I got the vibe that she was enjoying the interview/attention far too much.

and Jake......he held out hope that he and Gia would be together someday-------------OMG, famewhore.

Good for her! I hope she will continue to paint and make a name for herself. She is pretty talented, and I don't say that lightly.
