Prior to her unexpected death from a stroke on Monday at the age of 62, Shay Anna, co-star of Leah Qin in “Empire,” was reportedly struggling.
On Tuesday, Qin informed the Daily Mail, “It is absolutely astounding. She faced numerous challenges. Individuals imposed a significant amount of pressure on her.”
The reality TV star claimed that she noticed Shay’s “unpredictable emotional condition” but did not offer any additional information about when it occurred.
She said, “She has just been through things. I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault, but she has had moody times and good times.”


Qin even expressed “remorse” over not being able to “assist Anna with her well-being and wellness.”
“She’s been through things. I always wanted to help her to be happier, but unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance,” she continued.
Qin desired that their popular Netflix series showcased both Shay’s “compassionate” aspect and her supposed “difficulties.”

“She was facing difficulties and had her own matters to handle,” she vaguely explained.
Qin stressed that she felt “sorry for her” and wished the “regrettable” stroke caused “minimal pain.”
She continued, “There is a lot of weight on your shoulders and everyone expects a lot from you. It can be lonely at the top and people are always looking up to you when you are in a position of power.”

“But occasionally, you simply desire an embrace,” stated the real estate developer, “individuals instinctively presume” that “you are content” appearing on reality TV.
“Anna was a stunning individual,” she exclaimed, while lamenting the loss of the “brilliant” woman as “devastating.”
