Sarah Ferguson Mourns Former Personal Assistant Jenean Chapman Amid Alleged Murder
In the wake of Jenean Chapman's death, Sarah Ferguson is asking her social media followers for help in getting Chapman and her family the justice they deserve. "Her family is raising money to transport her body back to New York City and pay for legal and funeral costs," she wrote in her Instagram post. "I will be making a donation and supporting the family in any way possible — please help if you can at the link in my bio."
The duchess then directed her followers to her Linktree which has a link to Chapman's GoFundMe page posted at the top. The fundraiser was started by Charene Chapman-Santiago, Jenean's sister, and has a goal of $50,000. According to the fundraiser's description, all proceeds will go toward transporting Chapman's body from New York to Texas, as well as funeral costs and legal fees.
Chapman's LinkedIn profile states that she worked as Ferguson's personal assistant for four years, beginning in 2001. During that time, she oversaw the duchess' travel plans, publicity tours, and other personal affairs.
