Jackie Siegel of ‘Queen of Versailles‘ Reveals Daughter’s final Messages,Foreshadowing Her Broadway Journey
Jackie siegel,the subject of the documentary Queen of versailles,has shared poignant final messages from her daughter,Victoria Siegel,who struggled with drug abuse and passed away. Victoria, before her death, expressed a dying wish for her journals detailing her battle with addiction to be published, hoping to help others-a desire communicated in a letter to her parents. Remarkably, she also seemingly predicted her mother’s future success on Broadway.
“My daughter took a bunch of pills before she passed away-the first time that she thought she overdosed. And she left a text-she sent it to a friend, [saying] that if she didn’t wake up the next morning to send it to me,” Jackie recounted. “She saeid that she saw me getting a Grammy on a stage and I would be getting the award and I’ll feel her peaceful presence as an angel because she’ll be there by my side. And what I realize now, as I’m not a singer so there’s no Grammy, but I think it might very well be a Tony.”
Siegel, known for her opulent lifestyle and aspiring construction project mirroring the Palace of Versailles, frequently enough speaks of fate, faith, and a “greater mission.” She navigates between discussing profound loss and the practicalities of her ventures, seemingly aware of the spectacle surrounding her life while simultaneously embracing it.
She believes her family’s tragedy steered her away from “gluttony,” offering insight into her coping mechanisms while continuing to build her life.This duality-the allure of wealth and the weight of grief-is a central theme in the upcoming musical inspired by her story,a balance the production strives to achieve. Jackie Siegel maintains that her public persona isn’t an act, but a necessary means of survival.
