This week we were all saddened by the news of the death of Keisha Nash-Whitaker, ex-wife of acclaimed actor Forest Whitaker. The couple were married for over two decades and had two daughters together.
According to Deadline, no cause of death has been shared, but rumors of her reportedly struggling with anorexia for years persists. A source close to the family revealed that Nash-Whitaker had been admitted to the hospital numerous times over the last few months for intestinal issues stemming from her eating disorder, with her years-long battle with anorexia ultimately taking her life earlier this week.
True Whitaker, the couple's daughter, confirmed her mother's passing in an emotional Instagram post on Thursday, December 7th, calling Nash-Whitaker “the most beautiful woman in the world.” True mourned the loss of her mother on social media, writing in her tribute, “You loved me no matter what. I miss you so much, mommy. I'm so heartbroken.”
Nash-Whitaker had a successful career as an actress, model, and producer. She appeared in Proud in 2004 and produced the film Kassim the Dream in 2008. She was a profoundly loving and beautiful light in the lives of her daughters, True and Sonnet.
The loss of Keisha Nash-Whitaker leaves her family, friends, and fans mourning her death. Whitaker is “taking her death really hard,” a source close to the family said. Our thoughts and prayers are with them in this difficult time.
