The cause of death for Lynette Hardaway — widely known as Diamond of Diamond and Silk — has been revealed as heart disease caused by chronic high blood pressure, according to the death certificate obtained by the Associated Press.
During a memorial service for “President Trump’s most loyal supporter”, Rochelle “Silk” Richardson openly questioned if Diamond had died from the COVID-19 vaccine, saying “many call it a conspiracy theory. I call it murder”.
Silk continued with unsubstantiated claims that “vaccine shedding” played a role in the death of her sister. She claimed Diamond had been “poisoned” after coming in contact with a vaccinated person.
The pair were vehemently opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine, even though former President Trump has taken credit for its creation and implementation. Diamond and Silk were reportedly terminated from Fox News in 2020 after their statements on the legitimacy of COVID-19 data. They questioned “Is this a pandemic or was it a plandemic (sic)? Inquiring minds want to know” during an online event.
Hardaway died unexpectedly earlier this month. She was 51. The duo hosted a weekend show — Diamond and Silk Crystal Clear — on Newsmax after their tenure on Fox News concluded.
They rose to prominence for their ardent support of former President Trump, who said at the time of Diamond’s death “her big and precious heart just plain gave out”. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in United States.
