So sorry for this poor woman. I pray she and her family has the will and strength to continue on after this tragedy

[xiao]

For those of u who didnt know, Ruth is going through the unimaginable as we speak. They were involved in a car accident which killed her daughter and another kid, and left her in critical condition.

She doesnt deserve this. No one does. Shes a small bean that needs to be protected

[Reconseal]

I cant imagine whats shes going thru after losing her child yesterday. But definitely praying for her.

[CrownFlowerCreations]

I went to high school with Ruthie and she wad awesome back then. She even thanked or drama teacher Mrs. Siegmund! So cool!

[CoaTravelNut]

I can't imagine what she's going through right now, I mean she lost her daughter and now she lost her unborn baby, my prayers and condolences go to her and the family

[hpfan]

She, Annaleigh, and Kelli had the best speeches. She is just beautiful in "The King and I, " and I am so thrilled for her that she won! She seems so humble and funny and sweet! Congrats!

[Janne]

Gah, not gonna lie, her '엄마 나 어떡해' pulled at my heartstrings. A win for women, a win for underrated Asian talent, and a triumphant win for the incredible AND sweet Ruthie Ann Miles!

I haven't stopped thinking about her since the poor woman lost her children. She was excellent in tk&i and was so sweet at the stage door. I'm always pulling for her and her healing. RIP little ones :(

[seyimajek]

My heart goes out to her, nobody deserves to lose their baby like that💔

[manuelorozco]

I was watching the PBS telecast! Ruthie made me deeply care for Lady Thaing as a Queen and mother

[corfan]

Man, she won me over.  She was SO cute.  LOVED her look after she explained "that's the joke" [1:42] (that look of  "seriously?! ( and the stomp of the foot) LOL!!!!

[rmcavoy]

Prayers for her and her family right now
