“We lost a friend yesterday,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a compilation of videos from her past work as a model and video vixen.
“Pasha Bleasdell passed away from a brain tumor June 4th 2022 11:59pm,” he said. “If you made videos in 2000’s or were around to watch them you know Pasha. We met her doing background work on the set of Donnell Jones ‘Where I Want To Be’ from there we put her in the mix. It was a wild ride from then on.”
