Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova has allegedly “died of starvation” after subsisting exclusively on a diet of exotic fruit in Malaysia, according to her friends and family.
She was 39.
The Russian national — who frequently promoted raw foods on social media where she was known to her millions of viewers on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as Zhanna D’Art — reportedly died July 21 after finally seeking medical treatment during a tour in Southeast Asia, according to local media outlet reports.
“A few months ago, in Sri Lanka, she already looked exhausted, with swollen legs oozing lymph,” one unidentified friend told Newsflash. “They sent her home to seek treatment. However, she ran away again. When I saw her in Phuket, I was horrified.”

Dear Kate, dear commentators, you should know that the insidious NY Post is once again spreading disinformation in favor of American hegemony! I’ll tell you the truth, which is that Jeanne was perfectly fine and at every workout in the gym she lifted 110 kilograms, until she bought fruit from a salesman at the market who was an American agent. He sold her marakuja and pineapple infected with ukro-american lab virus, and it killed her.
Another version claims that Jeanne sacrificed herselfin favor of stopping climate change, following the advice of Professor Klimenko.
I was thinking fruit should be reserved for my intellectual betters.
Maybe I can have a shiny orange in my non denominational holiday stocking a few years from now, if I’m a good boy.
I recommend you only delicious Russian fruits to successfully get rid of the toxins of American hegemony and build the spirit and body of a multipolar person.

Are you taking this pearsonally?
Question of Life and Death, Miner. The future of the world is at stake…….
Orange you gonna reply to a fruit pun with another fruit pun?
Mandarin oranges were always a staple in our stockings. However, very much back in the day, there was an orange-flavoured liquor in – you guessed it – orange-shaped bottles. And – the icing on the cake – there were mini-oranges as well. My mother loved this; as her grandbrats grew to be of age, she would send a bottle of “adult orange” for that kid’s stocking. We still have a couple of those mini oranges.
I think the NY Post is one of the more reliable sources of info in the US of A!
But not in Eurasia, steve h! There we prefer Kommersant and Vedomosti.
Up until yesterday, I had never, ever heard of the influencer in question. Why would an American agent want her dead? What purpose did that serve?
You think God and malnutrition are American agents? Not under president poopy-drawers.
Huh. Odd. auto-complete no longer works on Brave browser. It shows me what to type, but won’t fill it in anymore.
They’re American agents, sir. There’s no doubt about it, the FSB confirmed.
Because, dear CodexCoder, she was also a Russian agent with a mission to rid the world of harmful and fatty American nutrition. She was about to lay the groundwork for superhealthy multipolar veganism. That’s why the Americans hated her and wanted to destroy her.
So… She was murdered by Macdonalds?!
McDonalds, please, unless you want a defamation suit, as well as libel.
Great headline, Kate.
Filing this under celebrities is a bit of a stretch.
Mentally ill girl dies of eating disorder.
There’s surprisingly little nutrition in fruit beyond sugar and vitamin C.
All the celebrities who’ve tried fruitarianism either quit in a short time or cheat with vitamins and non fruit foods.
A tour at The Lottery Farm on my honeymoon in the Carribean provides illustration: papaya and mango trees were planted along the “carry sugarcane here” route. Slaves would grab fruit to eat on the go while doing their “jobs”. Slaves often died (said to be of diabetes) in their early 30s.
There’s nothing quite like a juicy angus ribeye steak to keep one healthy and chipper!
Hm. Is that like “I love a vegan diet! I wish all of my food would adopt it!” 😉
Yes! With a loaded baked potato on the side.
Ooof! That first pic of her doing the bicep flex. No hon.
A cry for help.
Photo evidence of her epic FAIL
Vegan influencer? Never trust, like an investment adviser that is broke, a skinny chef, a doctor who is fat and smokes, or a plumber with no running water..
what an extraordinarily odd evolutionary development that complex brain machine coming up with a whacko conclusion that overrode any appetite impulses based on a NORMAL sapiens diet.

Eat a varied and balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, meat, grain, and beer, and bugger all the diet theories.
So if a woman like this were “dating” a climate catastrophist, and who enjoys delivering oral sex, and leans towards becoming trans in the future but is currently a biological male, would that mean that there are nuts, fruits, and meat in the diet? Asking for a friend…
Exactly.
Beer is a ‘grain’ so one of the major food groups… 🙂
( But then so is Rye… the liquid, not the one still standing in the field)
Guess what!!! Humans are omnivores. Always have been. Always will be. Evolution is slower than the latest trend. But, not as slow as Zhanna Samsonova.
Carry on.
We really shouldn’t be jesting about mental illness; nasty misfortune for it’s victims.
I’ve had, as most of us, a relative or two and friends that were claimed by schizophrenia.
Horrible existence.
You know, I used to make the mistake of being very patronizing to the mentally ill. I made an effort, almost, to overlook the behavior so as to make the afflicted more comfortable in the situation. But, things changed, as did I. Personally, I’m of the belief that nearly half of the world’s population is mentally ill in one fashion or another. And, I no longer patronize the behavior. Instead, I highlight it. I call it out and do so in terms that can’t be ignored. Because, I don’t think you do anyone any favors by not participating in forcing those individuals to confront their illness or, at least, acknowledge it. I think you do more damage that way. It’s why I call the whole trans movement, mental illness. It’s why I roll my eyes at all the stupidity associated with made up afflictions hiding behind the term “mental illness.” The most recent was some jackass stating she was punctuality challenged of some such nonsense.
Such an approach, also, weeds out those behavioral scenarios that lean on the term “mental illness” to excuse a multitude of shortcomings related to laziness and lacking self-discipline.
Orson, 100%. You are a wise man.

LOL!
These type of people want to run the world.. Not really a political junkie, more of a crazy cult that has political aspirations.. How do you tell a 40 year old to eat a balanced diet?.. She knew, 1000X over and the delusions of tomorrow stopped her from changing..
The hard truth.. Too much of anything will kill you and not enough of some things will also kill you.. Dosage baby :).. As if that’s not hard enough as we age the formula changes.. We change but our habits don’t.. Life is deceptively cruel that way..
Die of cancer its customary to ask, did she smoke?.. more cruelty.. Die of stupidity its customary to ask, was she a Vegan?.. Not really, more of a hunger striker.. Who went on strike to get us all to starve with her.. A dangerous cult..
Can it be done, yes.. Am I smart enough and rich enough to do it properly, no.. My Chef prepares my meals and my doctor regulates my supplements.. A role model for nobody..
I eat too much chicken.. Not enough beef and some pork thrown in for good measure.. My bread comes with a lecture on how its bad for me but I eat it anyway.. My salads also come with a lecture on how its good for me and I also eat it anyway.. Two out of three food groups come with a lecture.. Such is the state of dinner conversation..
Seafood is not real food IMO.. It can be good I just never crave it.. Its a restaurant food.. Blackened swordfish and a bucket of muscles :).. Fish and chips never hits the spot.. I can do without it.. Anything you have to dip in butter to make it good, is not.. BUT we still eat it..
Everything is on the menu.. Except zucchini.. That snotty excuse for a vegetable makes brussels sprouts look good.. My wife will put it in the blender so she can feed it to me anyway.. She also make dog food so make of that what you will.. Im a good boy..
Great commentary on what we consume. BUT let me just say this, if you want to lose weight, avoid highly processed foods, ie white sugar and white flour. I’m down to 178 from 198… lost my paunch. That’s pretty much the only change in my diet; SWMBO does most of the grocery shopping and cooking, although I do the Sunday breakfast omelette and hashbrowns… 🙂
Fish live in everybody’s toilet, so…

The problem with “influencers”
“Last year, vegan Florida mother Sheila O’Leary, 38, was sentenced to life in prison after starving her 18-month-old son to death by feeding him only small amounts of fruits and vegetables.”
It’s a bit like vegetarian cats and trans kids: we know who really makes the decisions.
Yawn.
Eat More Cow.
Vegan reaches Phuket, packs it in.
Time for a pipe-cleaner statue at PETA HQ.
Clearly, any doctor who saw this woman would have immediately wrote her up a prescription for what ailed her.
It would look something like this:
Steak – 250 grams, potatos, 300 grams, cheesecake 250 grams. Take twice daily, followed by 2 large glasses of whole milk, with cheese and crackers.
