    Tragic: Ashley Anne Riggitano, 22, leapt from a New York bridge
    A 22-year-old New York fashionista who took her own life by jumping off George Washington Bridge had been in an online spat with five of her friends, one of whom allegedly told the victim to overdose, it was revealed today. 
    Ashley Anne Riggitano lept to her death into the Hudson River at 4.40pm Wednesday.
    Riggitano's Louis Vuitton bag left on the bridge contained handwritten notes singling out the five people who had made her unhappy, and whom she did not want at her funeral.
    On Friday, the quintet of 'frenemies' singled out by Riggitano in her grudge list have been identified by a New York Post source as Alison Tinari, Teresa Castaldo, Beth Bassil, Riggitano's best friend and business partner, Victoria Van Thunen, and Samantha Horneff.
    'Go try to kill yourself on Xanax again, you untable loser. Go f*** yourself and never speak to me again,' Tinari wrote in a Facebook message directed at Riggitano.  
    Riggitano and Van Thunen ran together their own jewellery business called Missfits. Castaldo and Bassil were the 22-year-old's former classmates at Laboratory Institute of Merchandising (LIM), and Horneff was a friend from New Jersey. 
    'To any funeral, these people should not be allowed based upon words and actions,' Riggitano wrote in her notes about the five women.
    Riggitano singled out a man who she was not happy with, and although he was permitted to attend her funeral, she added that she hoped he 'gets what he deserves' when he gets there.
    She also mentioned three others by first name only, calling them 'only people I love & always there to tell sorry.' 
    'All my other "friends" are in it for gossip,' she wrote, according to the New York Post.
    It is believed that earlier in the day, Victoria Van Thunen wrote on her Facebook page: ‘Those who incessantly blame others as the cause of their issues should perhaps take a step back and reevaluate these situations. The common thread may be that “they” aren’t the problem, but rather that YOU are.’
