“It’s true,” Jesse Csincsak, a friend of the blond beauty and a former Bachelorette contestant, exclusively told Radar. “I got the call last night from her cousin.” Jesse added that the 31-year-old was a "wonderful girl." While she hid it well, Jesse revealed that Lex was battling with a major illness.

“She suffered from a bipolar disorder and did a good job of hiding it,” he explained. “Most of the people who were close to her didn’t know because she hid it well. Depression is a nasty thing,” Jesse added. "I just wish I would have known. Think about how on your worst day, a phone a call can make such a difference. That goes a long way. I feel horrible for her mother. It’s so sad.”
