NEWS: ACTRESS/PLUS-SIZE MODEL MIA DAVIS PASSES AWAY AT 36

According to sources FOX411, former Road Trip actress, television producer and plus-size model Mia Amber Davis died on Tuesday (May 10) “after experiencing complications from a routine surgery on her knee:”

“The 36-year-old began her career as a producer for the 90s talk show “The Ricki Lake Show,” “Change of Heart” and “Divorce Court.” She was also face of retail company Ashley Stewart for years. But it was her role in the 2000 film “Road Trip as Rhonda, a plus-size woman who seduces geeky character Kyle Edwards, played by actor DJ Qualls, that earned her national fame. Davis, who served as creative editor-at-large for Plus Model Magazine, was often considered to be one of the most successful plus size models working in the industry, modeling for brands like Lane Bryant, Just My Size, Ashley Stewart and Monif C.” [Source]

Some of you may remember her from her role as Rhonda in the comedy movie Road Trip. Others may recognize her as one of the top models for Monif C’s clothing line.

Our condolences to Mia’s family and friends.

    “Complications” from a damn KNEE surgery? This is either an obvious lie or an incompetent anaesthesiologist needs to be sued. RIP.

    • Devingod

      Sue your god. People always wants to blame human beings when stuff goes wrong but give god correct when human beings gets it right. STFU

    • ZULU

      What’s the basis for your mindless banter, moron?

    • Phuck Steve Harvey!

      Zulu I’m with you. “routine knee surgery” get the phuck outta here..Yeah like J-Hud lost all that weight by exercising & implementing her “Weight Watchers” plan…if she indeed really cared about her health millions of dollars & surgery is not the way..

    • Jamaican Cutie

      Hollywood claims another life

    • Dallas Champ

      Urban violence claims more life than Hollywood.

    • jj

      LOL too funny. ZULU your hilarious

    • 2damnfunny

      You never know. My sister had a routine knee procedure but contracted 2 staph infections and a bladder infection. She was off work for 3 months and was on 3000 mg if antibiotics a day. They had a to send a nurse to check her vitals everyday and her medication was pumped via intravenous drip that she had to carry around with her for those two months. We never thought day surgery would result in such a serious condition but it does happen.

    Damn! Dying over knees. This is why I wont get surgery unless its a life and death emergency. Otherwise, massage, salves, heating pads, knee brace, local anesthesia, etc will have to do. General Anesthesia isnt a joke. Wow, 36 yo is way too young. So sad.

    • Kevin in Dallas

      Hmm. YOU do not care about her dying only your own death. Many don’t make it out of their mother womb. 36 is a Lifetime.

  9. Dozeki

    Okay this is why I absolutely hate that OTHER site that reported this that shall remain nameless. The woman was 36 NOT 31 and died of complications from surgery where as that OTHER WEBSITE implied heavily that she may have infact died of AIDS, let’s not kid ourselves thats what they implied. THANK YOU CONCRETELOOP FOR RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM. I honestly hope the owner of that other site gets his comupance.

    • lala

      I agree, mediatakeout made me think that she die of HIV or something and lied about her age. I keep saying that I WON’T support that stupid site, but they have great pics of celebs.

  10. Sherlonda

    I’m so shocked to hear that she passed away at such a young age. When I worked at Meyer Levin middle school in Brooklyn she came and spoke to the kids on career day back in 2009.

  11. Sharondiva

    I absolutely loved Mia Amber Davis… Her beauty was pure and her confidence was amazing. She will truly be missed. My thoughts & prayers are with her family, friends, and with the entire modeling community…

  19. FarronElizabeth

  20. Adriane Ridley

    R.I.P Mia you were the face for all the plus-size Models you are the best and no one can see you on your Run way & Face to Die for your gone but never forgotten mt porcelian Doll!

  21. theriver

    This is very sad. If she had managed her weight, she would not have needed knee surgery. I’m sure all that weight was putting pressure on her knees for years, hence the need for the surgery.

  22. RealTalk

    there you go black people. anyone who criticised jennifer hudson for losing weight heres what happens to plus sized people. Its just not healthy. RIP

  23. BK Girl

    My prayers goes out to her family. I lost my 34yr old cousin a few months ago from the exact complications Mia suffered. Very devasting.
