‘Bad Girls Club’ star Whitney Collings dead at 33

Whitney collings – one of the first members of the “Bad Girls Club” on television – has passed away … TMZ has learned.

Whitney’s mother revealed the sad news on Facebook, writing… “I’m completely broken and I’ll never get over it. Life is so unfair. She was kind with a big heart.”

We don’t yet know what caused Whitney’s death, but we’re told she died Thursday morning in a hospital near Boston … her hometown. The medical examiner currently has Whtiney’s case and will determine the cause and manner of her death.

Being from Boston was a big part of her character on “BGC” in 2008-09 when she appeared in Season 3 of the show … as you can see.

She was only 21 when she was on the reality TV series, and was known as a simple shooter with a temper … but also for her sense of humor.

However, her time as a “bad girl” was cut short after being kicked out of the house due to a physical altercation.

We are told Whitney was 33 years old.
