Kesaria Abramidze, 1987 – 2024

Georgian (Russia, not the US) model and TV personality Kesaria Abramidze, 37, was found murdered in her home on Sept. 18. Her ex-boyfriend (from whom she had an order of protection) was arrested after surveillance video showed him entering and leaving her house. Abramidze was a successful model, a TV presenter and guest (Prime House, the unfortunately titled Psychopath Games, Zhure Katsat, Rustavi 2). She was also Miss Trans Global, and was one of the first openly trans celebrities in Georgia (her murder came one day after the Georgia Parliament passed a law severely restricting trans rights).
