Serbian YouTuber and Twitch star Kristina Kika Dukic reportedly passed away on December 8, 2021. She was just 21 at the time of her passing. The news of her demise was confirmed by her mother Natasha Djukic on Instagram:

"This will be a hard time for us all and all we can do is keep her memory alive. We love you Kika and miss you more than words can explain. If you are having suicidal thoughts or suffering from depression please speak to someone you are not alone."

Kristina Kika Dukic was found dead in Belgrade around 11.40 PM on December 8. Authorities are currently investigating the death but confirmed that no foul play was involved.

“Terrible. A terrible thing happened last night. I appeal to all the media to carefully report on this case and on the girl who struggled with bullying for five years. Please understand.”

Reports suggest that the influencer was often labeled as “fake” and bullied over her appearance and plastic surgery allegations. According to Republika, Serbian gamer Bogdan Illic was one of Kristina’s biggest critics, and his followers previously asked the YouTuber to “kill” herself.

However, following the news of Kristina Kika Dukic’s demise, he told Direktno the duo became friends before her passing, and he was one of the first people to know about the unfortunate news:

"I was among the first to find out about this event because her friends called me and told me that they would publicly support me with the truth about the whole event, but I refused because I do not want to be a victim.”

The gamer also apologized for not revealing their friendship and reconciliation before Kristina’s death:

"I'm sorry about what happened. I'm sorry I didn't announce that we reconciled and became friends. I'm sorry because people don't know the reason and point the finger. They do not give the dead peace and respect, just to get a few likes, to fulfill their desire for revenge and in the ugliest possible way."

Kristina Kika Dukic opened up about being constantly bullied in a recent video. The YouTuber mentioned that it was important for her to be happy while doing what she wanted to do but also shared that she felt nothing she did was “good enough” for others.
