Valerie came back into headlines in 2015 when she was arrested for prostitution in Delaware with seven other women. After her arrest, it came to light that Valerie had developed a drug problem and turned to the streets to support it. Custody of Naveah had been awarded to Valerie’s mother. Later the year, it appeared that Valerie had gotten clean and was pregnant with her second child. Unfortunately in December 2016 her addiction overcame her and she died of an overdose at 23 years old. You will be missed Valerie!
