Sonia Pizarro, best known for her time as a cast member on truTv’sOperation Repo,has died. She was 60.
“I’m deeply sad to inform you that Sonia has passed away, to many she was a badass chick that kicked some serious ass, to me, she was and will always be my ex-wife, the mother of my son, and she will always have a place in my heart and on my body since I still have her name tattooed on my stomach,” wrote Tercero.
